It was first reported he was a sex offender, and then I believe that statement was retracted.
There hasn’t been an actual retraction that I can find.
Just a removal of the info.
NYS is hiding something.
My bet is the perp is well know to the state and LE.
And never should have been on the streets.
Apparently his brother, Nelson, was arrested for stalking and photographing young girls a few years ago.
“It was first reported he was a sex offender, and then I believe that statement was retracted.”
Wouldn’t surprise me if he had been arrested for a sex offense (or several) but plead them down to lesser charges. And the paper doesn’t want to be sued for libel.
