The search for over three dozens sex offenders whose last known addresses indicate they are wandering the Upper Peninsula of Michigan without totally paying for their crime and warning others.
Below is a list of cities checked by U.P. Breaking News and the number listed are of non-compliant sex offenders.
Even the super secretive Marquette felony extortion case is connected to sex offender.
But in that case – its the mother of the alleged victim who is in trouble.
Sources say the sex offender involved went to prison and is a member of a well-liked law enforcement family. Sources tell U.P. Breaking News that the case is – well “icky.”
The sources say the suspect tried to allegedly extort some $10,000 in money frm the sex offender. The extortion suspect is also reportedly the sex assault victim’s mom
No one will release information on the highly unusual case
Sex has also become a business in the U.P. – and everyone knows about the strip club south of Gwinn. Then there are the hush-hush red-light businesses you can find right across the state line. There are even online ads that claim U.P. college students are involved in the sex trade.
Every community in the U.P. seems to have from one to to dozens of sex offenders living peacefully in their community.
But the ones that go rogue – just like the guy nabbed Saturday in Chippewa County.
It was that arrest that made us check the sex offender registry records – and its very easy to use.
With over three dozen non-compliant sex offenders in the U.P. – it has law enforcement concerned and constantly seeking tips on the whereabouts of a non-compliant offender.
But considering there are over 5,000 non-compliant sex offenders in Michigan – the U.P. still appears pretty safe.
However every week U.P. Breaking News hears reports about rapes, incest and all forms of sexual assault – most of which goes unreported unless some official puts out a press release.
