Three sex offenders in Georgia are suing deputies who put up signs warning families against trick-or-treating at the offenders' homes.
The suit also alleges the sheriff"exceeded his authority in compelling registrants to display a sign stating that they were a registered sex offender" and they"unlawfully occupied Petitioner's property" by placing the signs. "Attorneys representing several sex offenders have filed a lawsuit against my staff and I," Long said in a statement."The sex offenders have asked a Federal Judge to stop my Office from placing these signs this year. This Thursday, we will argue to the Federal Court that we are protecting our children and following Georgia Law by placing these signs."
