Conway appeals to U.S. Supreme Court on sex offenders

This from H-L:

Attorney General Jack Conway on Wednesday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the Kentucky Supreme Court on a ruling that would allow some registered
sex offenders to live where they choose, without restrictions.

"Allowing convicted sex offenders to live near schools or daycares is a serious public safety concern," Conway said in a statement. "As a father and as Kentucky's attorney general, I will do everything I can to ensure the safety of children and families across the Commonwealth."

In 2006, the General Assembly prohibited sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of a school, preschool, public playground or licensed daycare.
