This areticle is about a man named Kevin Quinn who is 44 years old, that has been convicted to 23 years in prison for raping a girl in 1997. The young lady is now 19 years old and just came forward with her accusations in 2007. She said that he raped her in two occassions. Kevin Quinn had a previous history of another rape in 1986 and was registered as a level 3 sex offender, meaning that he was most likely going to do it again, and he certainly did. I find this article interesting because it demonstrates that sometimes there may be a sex offender around us and we mey not know about it. Kevin did have a history of rape in the past, but imagine if he didn't and he happened to rape the young girl in 1997, but she didn't speak until 2007? I wondered if he would have recieved the same conviction. It also makes me question my safety because after he was registered as a level 3 sex offender he was still raoming the streets and once again raped another young lady. I feel like more action needs to be taken place with sex offenders and preventing them from committing the same crime again. Even though they are registered as level 3 sex offenders, there are still many people who do not pay attention to these factors of who is registered and who isn't. Our closest neighbor can be dangerous, but we may not know until something actually occurs.
