Sex Offender Watch: A Map of Lemont Homes to Keep on Your Radar This Halloween

Patch is helping parents in Lemont keep their kids safe this Halloween by providing a map of the area's registered sex offenders. I know it's incredibly unnerving, but we hope that it will help your peace of mind to have more information.

In general, the laws center on sex offenders registering in person each year the local police department. They must do so for a required 10-year registration period, unless they are separately required to register for life. Offenders are prohibited from living within 500 feet of a school, daycare center, youth center or other facility that caters to children younger than 18 years old.

Sex Offenders in Your Neighborhood

A search of the Illinois Sex Offender Registry links eight registered sex offenders to Lemont.

Of the eight offenders, only three are listed as sexual predators.

How the Map Works

The map is interactive, meaning you can zoom in, zoom out, or move it around to see all the plotted points.

Floating your cursor over one of the markers will give you the name of the sex offender and their address. Double clicking on the marker will give you more information about the specific charge.

The five yellow markers represent sex offenders who are not listed as sexual predators. The remaining three red pins are those who are labeled as sexual predators in the registry.
