Sex offenders in Georgia forced out of woods
A group of homeless sex offenders have been ordered to leave their makeshift camp in a densely wooded area behind a suburban office park in Marietta. The perpetrators made the camp their home as a last resort after being barred from living in many areas by one of the nation’s toughest sex offender policies. The men are prohibited from living, working or loitering within 1,000 feet of schools, churches, parks and other places where children gather. Officials are uncertain where they will go next.
