Homeless GA Sex Offenders Told To Move From Camp

ATLANTA (AP) - Nine homeless sex offenders directed to live in the woods behind a suburban Atlanta office park are scrambling to find new places to go after they were ordered to move.

The sex offenders were searching for a new place to pitch their tents Tuesday after state authorities told them they had to leave the area.

They had been directed to the spot by probation officers who said it was a location of last resort for the sex offenders barred from living in many areas by one of the nation’s toughest sex offender policies.

William Hawkins, a 34-year-old who had lived in the camp for about two weeks, said he was not sure where he would move. He said, “If I don’t have anywhere to go, they will re-arrest me.“
