Judge wants sex offender notification in nursing homes

WARREN, Ohio – A Trumbull County judge wants state officials to revise sex offender notification laws so residents of nursing homes are alerted when registered sex offenders move into the facilities.

County sheriff’s offices must notify neighborhoods when a sex offender moves in, but there are no similar notifications made when an offender moves into a nursing home, Trumbull County Probate Judge Thomas Swift said Tuesday.
