Tuckahoe 2018 Halloween Sex Offender Safety Map

TUCKAHOE, NY — Before the kids go out trick or treating on Halloween, it is a good time to take inventory of who is living in your neighborhood. There are two sex offenders living in Tuckahoe as of October 2018, according to the New York Sex Offender Registry.

The Division of Criminal Justice Services is responsible for maintaining New York's Sex Offender Registry, which provides New Yorkers information about sex offenders living in their communities. The DCJS updates information regularly, but information can change quickly. Information is often provided by offenders themselves as required by law.

There are three levels of sex offenders — Level 1 (low risk of re-offense), Level 2 (medium risk of re-offense) and Level 3 (high risk of re-offense); risk level is set by a judge after a court hearing. By law, only Level 2 and Level 3 sex offenders are listed on the public directory.

More than half of rape/sexual assault incidents happen within a mile of the victim’s home, according to the United States Department of Justice. About 75 percent of victims know their attacker and 45 percent of victims are under 12 years old.

You may want to avoid trick or treating at these houses and apartments on Halloween, or merely be aware of who’s living in your neighborhood during the rest of the year.

Pins on the map represent the addresses of offenders convicted of sex crimes. Not included are sex offenders in custody or incarcerated. Click on the pins for more information, including the offender’s name, address, date of birth, convictions, and details of the offense where available.
