More Predators, Rapes, and Assaults in Nursing Homes

800 Registered Sex Offenders Located in Nursing Homes Across America
(Sunday, July 31, 2005 Oklahoma City, OK) 800 registered sex offenders have been located in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities across the nation, since A Perfect Cause started investigating the issue of Predators in Americas Nursing Homes in May 2004. Almost half are under 60 years of age.
Twenty-two rapes, assaults, arrests, and one murder by criminal offenders living in nursing homes and long-term care facilities are documented in the report released today by the nursing home watchdog group, A Perfect Cause.
Last July, A Perfect Cause published the identities of 380-registered sex offenders living in long-term care facilities. Three other sex offenders were working in nursing homes.
The group reports 638 sex offenders are currently living in long-term care facilities and two more are working in nursing homes. Of the 800 total registered sex offenders, 795 were residents, while five worked in facilities.
Twelve offenders have since been incarcerated, while six others are listed as absconded or address unknown, according to state sex offender registry websites.
The top five states with sex offenders in long-term care facilities since A Perfect Cause started tracking these offenders are Texas (124), Illinois (121), California (106), Ohio (102), and Florida (58). Currently, states with the highest number of offenders actively in long-term care facilities are Texas (100), California (95), Ohio (89), Illinois (76), and Missouri (38).
The increase in predators residing under the same roof, with no locked door between them and our vulnerable loved ones is very disturbing, states Wes Bledsoe, president of A Perfect Cause. Yet, this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are definitely more registered sex offenders and other predators living in nursing homes across America.
A Perfect Cause has also located sex offenders (who are not required to register), prison and county jail inmates, parolees, violent offenders found incompetent to stand trial, and convicted felons living in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. Many offenders were placed in these facilities by state and county agencies.
A Perfect Causes Predators In Americas Nursing Homes 2005 Report is posted on the not-for-profit organizations website. Names and locations of registered sex offenders living in long-term care facilities are also posted online at www.APerfectCause.org.
