OH - Are you effected by the Lebanon Sex Offender ban ordinance?

Original Article

I believe the law states you cannot loiter near these places, and just walking by is not loitering. But I could be wrong.

If you are personally effected by the ordinance that bans all sex offenders, even if they pose no risk to children, from anywhere children congregate send an email to recallmattrodriquez@yahoo.com. We want to hear from you.

Remember, if you are a registrant who has a job in Lebanon this really impacts you. You could be arrested for making a job related delivery or walking too near a bus stop, park, daycare, school, skate rink or pool. Pretty much you cannot walk anywhere in Lebanon and cannot conduct your business. You could be arrested for attending a meeting any where near minors.

If you live in Lebanon, you are effectively on house arrest. You cannot move freely in your own town as you may not come within 300 feet of a place children hang out.

If you are a student this ban effects your ability to do college related research in a library. Registrants are banned from Lebanon libraries anytime children are present (which is all hours).

Employers, this impacts your ability to keep and hire reliable people willing to take lower paying jobs. If you have a registrant on your staff, let us know. We want to help.
