Curious Post.
What is the policy of allowing FBI Sex Offenders onto Nude Beaches?
I met a guy named Frank at Haulover - only his name is really Charles....
When I found out who he was I also found he was on the FBI Sex Offender list for exposing himself to underaged children.
What is the procedure for dealing with these types?

It's a public beach into which no one can restrict anyone from visiting. However, clubs generally do check the sex offenders' registry before allowing anyone entrance or membership.

On the surface living at a nudist resort would be the worst place on the planet for a criminal to hide out. We are an incredibly tight-knit group: most everyone knows everyone else and in our resorts case, the screening for residents is as tight as a C.I.A agent applying for Black Ops. The only slip in security would come from day-trippers and extended stay (i.e. weekly) renters who could present false documents.
Still a criminal hiding out in a nudist colony is not unknown. In 1999 Cary Stayer, the notorious Yosemite killer, was captured at Laguna Del Sol where his wanted picture was quickly recognized by regulars at the resort. If this graying short and paunchy fellow without AANR or TNS credentials should show up in any Florida resort, likely as not his stay will be short. Our local county Sheriffs (White-Gee-Judd) are media rock stars in these here parts.

Hi Cheri,
Your comment "It's a public beach into which no one can restrict anyone from visiting".
We have laws prohibiting a felon from possessing a gun. Laws exist in some states prohibiting registered child predators from living/working within a specified distance of schools, daycare facilties etc. If they can survive a constitutional challenge, it may be possible to pass a law banning someone from a nude beach.

You may be right. That probably could be done. But I would think enforcement would be next to impossible unless access would be allowed only upon identification. To do that, they would have to fence off the beaches and the surrounding water. Hardly seems practical or even possible. And asking for IDs might put off 99% of the normal people who just want to swim or sun. A lot of people might feel they are losing their privacy or anonymity. And all that would effectively kill any C/O beaches. I think the best bet is to look out for our own.

The way those kind of laws generally work is this. As long as the person behaves themselves nothing is likely to happen. On the other hand, if they are doing something that calls police attention to themselves, the police will ask for identification. The will call in and ask about outstanding warrants etc. At that point they would find out that this person is a registered pedophile and subject to arrest because they are at a location prohibited by law.

Thanks Randy. I noticed in the article that "the U.S. Marshals in Cleveland were excited to hear the information..." The fact that they had to travel to a tropical country from Cleveland to transport the prisoner probably didn't have a factor in their excitement?

The problem with the laws in this matter is that people are given instructions individually and, even though states have the sex offender registry now, those registries do not list those restrictions. For instance, there is no way for an average individual to see if any given sex offender has restrictions preventing them from working with or around children. I had a 15 year old niece dating one for a while. Of course, they met in secret. And where did he want to meet her? His three favorite places were a park, the parking lot of a preschool/daycare center or the fair grounds. This guy was a smooth, slimy SOB who knew exactly what he was doing and was having physical relationships with my 15 year old niece and at least 2 or 3 14 year old girls simultaneously, all of which was illegal, but I had no way of finding out if he was restricted from playgrounds and preschools. As both of his victims were under the age of 10 (if i remember correctly, the older of the two was 7), you would assume so, but it is on a per-offender basis and is not a matter of easily-found public record. Also, I think sometimes the limitations expire. For instance, it is only for the length of probation.
Sex offenders have to register when they move, I don't see why they shouldn't have to register when attending a nudist function, if the facility or state even allows them there at all. At the very least mandating that they must register that they intend to attend a nudist function or visit a nudist location, especially one where there may be children, even if it is illegal for them to be there will add a charge of failure to register on top of the violation of being where they are not allowed to be. It seems that Washington is going very far to protect our average children, but let's face it, we need to work a little harder to protect nudist children, not because they are necessarily at greater risk, but because someone with unnatural urges may see a family friendly nudist facility as the best place to fulfill or feed his or her urges. To be blunt, if I don't want someone around my children clothed, I especially don't want that person around my children nude. I do think, however, that any laws should not be unique to nudist children. Scantily clad children, such as those wearing bathing suits, should be afforded the same protection. There is a thread on this board currently circulating about whether a person is sexier clothed or nude. If you read much of the thread, you will see that it is very subjective and a person with these urges (see how hard I work to tone it down?) may find a scantily clad child more provocative than a nude child.
This goes back to some of the other subjects I've been posting about lately. Obviously, a nudist does not have the same thoughts about nudity as any average non-nudist individual. Nudists are just people but, nonetheless, are a special case. You can't stop a sex offender from registering at a hotel. You can and should stop a sex offender from registering at a nudist hotel with children running around. How many laws are there on the books specific to nudists? I really don't know, but I've never heard of one. There do need to be laws, either federally or in every state individually, specifically protecting the nudist lifestyle from those who pose a particular danger to nudists, especially children. I am not even saying there should be a blanket ban on sex offenders from attending nudist resorts or functions. I once knew a guy who was on the sex offender registry for exposing himself to a girl (I don't remember the age). Keep in mind that they all have a story; nobody will come out and say, "Yeah, I molested a 10 year old girl." They have all had time to come up with a plausible explanation and they usually sound pretty good. The sex offender who was dating my underage niece had half my family convinced that he was wrongly persecuted by an angry father who's son had gotten arrested with him.

asmodee,
Let me clarify something. You are writing about people on the "sex offender registry". The title of "sex offender" can cover way too many people. The vast majority of people on these list are not violent rapists and child molesters. Some may be on the list for a simple nudity issue or many reasons that are not really much of a threat to others. The worst offenders are to be listed for life. Many, if the stay clean, will be removed from the list in a few years. I wouldn't be worried about the predators on the beach any more than in a shopping mall. Don't let fear so control you that you become a prisoner of that fear.
In your example of a nudist camp Sunday School teacher, it is the responsibility of the facility to run a background check on their employees and volunteers. At our church (Catholic) any parent volunteers that help out in the church nursery or have contact with children must fill out a form to used to run a background check.
As far a protecting your children, I recommend keep them in sight or at least in pairs. Explain "good touch/bad touch to them". You explain to them that absolutely no one is permitted to touch them in certain places. Kids have a short memory and attention span. Some parents just explain the "stranger danger" part. The real threat is more likely a friend or relative. Tell them that if anyone has touched them, tried to touch them, or in any way made them feel uncomfortable that they should come and tell you. No matter who it is or what they have said. It can be a hard balance to prepare them without making them so fearful that they are unable to enjoy their childhood.
