Richard and Evelyn Creighton of Fairfield CA create website and engage in targeted harassment of Registered Persons in halfway house

I'm currently looking for a picture of these two nitwits so they can be properly shamed. In addition to the protest, they are livestreaming the house on YouTube and have created a website that doxed those at the house along with the owner. 

Other things to point out:

1. It may actually be illegal to post registry flier data on their "Stop ELDA House" website. 
2. The erroneously claim that there is a statewide residency law (there is not though restrictions can be made as a condition of supervised release). This is a moot point since they admit their targeted house meets the legal standards.

Families protest halfway house for sexual offenders in Fairfield

By Susan Hiland

FAIRFIELD — Parents and residents near B. Gale Wilson Elementary School and K.I. Jones Elementary School are outraged to find a halfway house for sexual offenders is right in the middle of the neighborhood where their children go to school.

About 25 parents came out Saturday to B. Gale Wilson to march to the halfway house, protesting all the way.

Richard Creighton and his wife Evelyn have two little boys and they were stunned to find out about the halfway house.

“We live right across the street from the house,” Richard Creighton said.

The house is located on the 2900 block of Waterman Boulevard, less than a mile from both schools.

The state’s Megan’s Law website shows four convicted sex offenders live at the home: a 42-year-old man convicted in 2002 of rape of a drugged or intoxicated victim and released from prison in 2018; a 29-year-old man convicted in 2013 of sodomy by force, violence or fear of a victim who was younger than 14 and released from prison in 2018; a 71-year-old man convicted in 1983 of rape in concert with force or violence and oral copulation in concert, and released from prison in 1989; and an 81-year-old man convicted in 1986 of committing lewd and lascivious acts with a minor younger than 14 and released from prison the same year.

The Megan’s Law entry for the 81-year-old man also lists an allegation of continuous sexual abuse of a child but does not include conviction or release dates.

Creighton said he “had no idea” about the halfway house until he saw the information on social media from City Councilwoman Catherine Moy.

Creighton has since started a website called Stop ELDA House, which includes information that he and others have gathered on the situation.

ELDA House is an organization that provides services that include reentry housing and substance use services.

The company has taken down its website but archived pages are available to view with a lot of searching. Those archives pages show ELDA House also partners with additional community reentry partners that may assist with employment and vocational needs.

Creighton said his research shows a resident of the Bay Area purchased the house on Waterman Boulevard on Oct. 29, 2021. The owner used funding provided by the state to turn this home into a transitional house for sex offenders, including pedophiles, without notifying the county, the city or the local residents, Creighton said.

Creighton said the home has six bedrooms and can therefore accommodate six parolees. Online records from the Solano County Assessor’s Office list the house as having four bedrooms. A listing of real estate transactions shows the 4,299-square-foot home, built in 2008, has four bedrooms and sold that day for $899,000.

Similar facilities are run in Winters, Antioch and Pittsburg.

An individual can purchase a house and provide a “halfway house” for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation under the 2015 Reentry Program. These programs are intended to assist prisoners in developing solid relapse prevention plans, along with a plan for reentry and various skills training from social to work assistance.

Evelyn Creighton said the police have been called to the house several times.

“The entire Fairfield government should be ashamed that they let this happen, that they allowed the permits to go through,” said neighbor Walt Phillip, who also has two children living near the house.

“This is stressful always walking around on guard,” he said.

Moy came out with the protestors. She said the state can allow these halfway houses for parolees to be located anywhere.

“This one is in a bad spot because not only is it in between two elementary schools but there is also a day care center within a few blocks of the house,” Moy said.

Moy said the City Council took a look at the business application that was filed and it said the building was going to be used for a day care/adult care center.

“This is not really adult care,” she said. “We are going to be changing the business license application to be very specific about what business is coming in.”

Because this is a state program for parolees, the owner did not have to get permission to have a halfway house for sex offender parolees, Moy said. The parolees do have GPS monitors on their ankles and are limited to attending work and shopping at the nearest stores, she said.

“The city attorney is looking into what legal avenues we can take,” Moy said. “This is really new and so it will take time to look into.”

In the meantime, Moy has contacted state Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, requesting a town hall meeting, which she said he is happy to do. She said they are working to fix a date.

The city plans to have some answers to this situation sometime in May but a date is not set because the legal team needs to do the research, Moy said.

“We may do it during a regular meeting but I think there is going to be too much to cover in a regular meeting and we will do it in a town hall meeting, but that is not for sure yet,” Moy said.

Creighton has placed cameras on his front porch to face the street where children walk by and has a live YouTube feed so parents can watch the children coming and going to school.

Moy said the Police Department is aware of the situation and has added patrol cars during the opening of school and ending of school days.

“They can’t stay all day but they are also adding patrol driving by during the day,” Moy said.

One thing was clear Saturday: People support parolees getting a second chance but putting sexual offenders near schools is not the way to do it, Moy said.

Hayley Wilton of Roxana, IL harasses local ice cream stand because loved one of owner is a Person Forced to Register

This gun-sucking Karen Convoy supporter has nothing better to do than engage in a harassment campaign, but this one may backfire.

Roxana rally targets Cone Barn

Billy Woods, April 10, 2022

ROXANA — Since 2006, Tanea Berry and her husband, Josh, have been neighbors to the Cone Barn at 323 N. Central Ave. in Roxana.

They have memories of both of their children walking next door and grabbing ice cream.

But recently the Berrys, along with other community members, don’t have that same sense of comfort in letting their children near the ice cream shop.

The Cone Barn was recently bought by Terry Hogan whose husband ...  is on the Illinois State Police Sex Offender Registry.

“I don’t want to live next door to this,” Tanea Berry said.

That’s why on Saturday she and dozens of others held a rally in protest of the new ownership at the Cone Barn.

The Berrys have two kids, 13 and 23; the oldest has two kids of their own and always has them by the Berry's home, which makes Tanea Berry uncomfortable.

“I loved having the Cone Barn here because my kids could walk next door and get ice cream,” Tanea Berry said. "But now they can’t.”

Saturday's rally also focused on a former Cone Barn employee ... who no longer works there. Hobbs is on the state’s violent offender database....

Rally organizer Hayley Wilton is concerned about the Cone Barn's location: 505 feet from the high school and across the street from the Burbank Park, the Roxana Church of the Nazarene (which offers a Sunday school service for kids) and the Nazarene Community Theater owned by the church which offers free movies for families and kids.

“This is the center of town,” Wilton said. “This is a community that’s always surrounded with kids. As the seasons change, there are lots of kids and sports teams hanging out in this area.”

Wilton said she learned about Heltsley and Hobbs when she saw a post advertising jobs at the Cone Barn and she researched the names she recognized.

“Offenders reoffend,” Wilton said. “It’s bound to happen again.”

Wilton has four kids: 18, 16, 13 and 11. She said she grew up on Elm Street in Roxana and was a childhood victim herself. She said moved back to Roxana a few years ago specifically for the school that is just blocks from the Cone Barn.

Wilton wants to make people aware of the business. She and Tanea Berry also want it sold to new owners.

Tanea Berry also wants Roxana officials to pass an ordinance prohibiting a sex offender list member to own something so close to schools and parks, especially if that business caters to children. Heltsley does not own the Cone Barn; Hogan does.

“I loved the community feeling we had here,” Tanea Berry said. “But this isn’t what I want.”

A petition seeking to have someone else buy the Cone Barn is on the Cone Barn Awareness Facebook group page.

Ex-Hull City (UK) Council worker Chloe Carr gave personal info on a Registered Person to a vigilante group for purposes of harassment

Her address should be published, in the interest of fairness. The vigilante group should also be rounded up and jailed.

Council worker leaked sex offender's address to paedophile hunter's group

Mark Naylor

A heavily pregnant Hull City Council worker leaked the highly sensitive address of a sex offender to an anti-paedophile group. This lead to a 30-strong angry mob turning up outside his new home and threatening to kill him and burn down the house.

Customer services assistant Chloe Carr told the paedophile hunters that the sex offender "deserves all he gets" and was "bloody awful" and "disgusting" but she asked them not to reveal that she had passed on the explosive confidential information about him. The sex offender had to be hurriedly moved to a new address and Carr's unprofessional actions helped to "whip up a frenzy" and were "not a public service at all" because they "destabilised" convicted criminals and risked making them "unpredictable", Hull Crown Court heard.

Carr, 23, of Taylor Avenue, Cottingham, admitted unlawfully disclosing private data to an online website without consent. She denied misconduct in public office as a customer service advisor for Hull City Council by abusing the public's trust and disclosing confidential and personal data between June 4 and July 2, 2020 and that charge was dropped.

Charlotte Baines, prosecuting, said that Carr was employed at the time by an agency to work for the city council and to help direct members of the public to assistance that might be available. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, she was working from home in Anlaby and there was a work chat group in which she could have contact with colleagues.

Another worker sent a message to the group saying that a call had been received from a convicted sex offender, who had contacted the council's customer services team asking for a food parcel to be sent to him as he had been placed into emergency accommodation because his details had been put on Facebook. The address of where he would be living was shared by the chat group but Carr sent details of it to a Hull-based anti-paedophile group..

She told the online paedophile hunters that she had details on the sex offender but asked to be kept anonymous. She said in messages that it was "disgusting" that the sex offender was still in Hull and would be living near a school.

Carr was asked by the anti-paedophile group if she had proof of the man's details and replied: "Yes, everything is 100 per cent" and confirmed that she had his street address. She said that she worked for Hull City Council and there was a reply from the online group asking if she could share that address with them.

Carr sent a screenshot of the sex offender's address and said: "This can't come back to me due to my work." The paedophile hunters asked her for the number of the house. She told the online group that it was "so wrong" to put the man there and added: "I don't believe in it. I will look now."

Carr was thanked by the anti-paedophile group and she was told: "Thank you so much" and that details would be going online shortly. She replied: "Please don't mention it's come from the council" because records were kept and it might "come back to me" because of the disclosure. "The defendant made it abundantly clear that she worked for Hull City Council and the information needed to be kept anonymous," said Miss Baines.

At 6.40pm, the sex offender contacted the police to say that he had received a food parcel from Hull City Council but that people were at his door trying to break into the property and he had been warned to "get out now or they would kill him and burn down the property" There were 30 people in the mob outside the house.

At 7.19pm, the anti-paedophile group contacted Carr on Facebook Messenger to thank her for her information and to say that the sex offender had been moved from the house. Carr replied: "I am so happy. He is bloody awful. Happy to have helped everyone."

The paedophile hunters thanked her. There was further contact during the following days, with further messages about the sex offender.

The police later identified Carr as being involved in the chats after they realised that there was a problem. They went to her then home in Anlaby and seized two laptops.

She told police that, when a colleague shared details of the sex offender, she was "quite angry because she was pregnant" and that after someone in her chat group said that something needed to be done, she took it upon herself to contact the anti-paedophile group and to supply further details. "She said that she knew it was wrong," said Miss Baines. "She was kicked out of the works chat. She wasn't allowed to return to work, one assumes."

Helen Chapman, mitigating, said that the sex offenders that Carr had been referring to were people who had been before the courts, had been found guilty or sentenced and had "done their time and come out" of prison. "These groups exist on Facebook in order to whip up a frenzy," said Miss Chapman.

Carr was heavily pregnant at the time and the messages were exchanged just a fortnight before her son was born in July 2020. He was now aged nearly two. Miss Chapman also stated that the offence was "short-lived but persistent" and Carr was in "something of a vulnerable position" at the time because the boy's father had left her after she told him that she was pregnant.

"It didn't help that she was working from home," said Miss Chapman. Carr was now on Universal Credit and child benefit. "She is just beginning to look for work," said Miss Chapman. Carr had no previous convictions.

Judge Mark Bury said that the offence might not have happened if there had been a "little bit more supervision" of Carr and she had not been working from home. The decision not to proceed with a prosecution under the more serious misconduct in public office offence had been taken after a "thorough review by a number of different people" for the prosecution but it meant that the maximum penalty for the lesser offence that Carr now faced was a fine and not prison.

"You are very lucky about that," said Judge Bury. "The offence that you have committed is, in my view, a very serious one that would have carried a sentence of imprisonment." He told the court: "I would have locked her up."

Judge Bury said that it was not for Carr or anyone else to pass comment and say that the man involved "deserves all he gets and he's bloody awful". The person had to be rehoused again and it led to problems in rehabilitating such people and "destabilising" them, risking them becoming "more unpredictable" and committing offences.

"This is not a public service at all," said Judge Bury. "They had done their punishment. It wasn't for you to give their details out."

It did "not take much imagination" to work out what the anti-paedophile group were planning to do. "The problem that this causes is that it destabilises offenders," said Judge Bury. "It makes them unpredictable and more likely to commit offences that everyone else is trying their hardest to prevent them from doing. It's not doing a public service at all. It's a huge disservice.

"I am quite satisfied that you knew what you were doing because you said you didn't want your name to be mentioned because you would be sacked, which, of course, you were. I hope this has been a lesson. If you work in the public sector again, you just have to remember that you have a grave responsibility with public details. You thought you were helping. You were not."

Carr was fined £500, to be paid at £50 a month. After the hearing, she left the court building giggling and joking loudly with two female supporters and headed straight across the road and into the pub opposite the court.

Sabrina Mellerson, now EX-Clarendon Co SC Sheriff's deputy, arrested for embezzling Registered Persons

Registry fees are a scam and should be eliminated. 

https://wach.com/news/local/former-deputy-and-victims-advocate-arrested-faces-embezzlement-charges

CLARENDON COUNTY, S.C. (WACH) — On Friday, a former Clarendon County deputy and victims advocate was arrested by South Carolina Law Enforcement Division agents.

Sabrina Mellerson, 34, has been arrested and faces charges of misconduct in office and embezzlement.

SLED conducted the investigation at the request of Clarendon County Sheriff Tim Baxley.

According to reports, Mellerson is accused of taking money from sex offender registrants in her role as a deputy at the Clarendon County Sheriff's Office.

On April 7, Mellerson confessed to SLED Agents that she took cash from payments made to the sheriff's office and used the money for her personal use.

SLED said they will not be providing further details on the specific case but for general context and understanding included a proviso that allows Sheriff’s Offices in South Carolina to collect a yearly fee from registered sex offenders to be put on the list.

Proviso 62.10. (SLED: Sex Offender Registry Fee) Each Sheriff is authorized to charge and collect an annual amount of one hundred fifty dollars from each sex offender required to register by law. If such sex offender has been declared indigent by the Sheriff of the county in which the offender must register and provides proof of the declaration at the time of registration, the fee will automatically be waived. If an offender is not declared indigent and fails to pay the fee, he is officially declared unregistered. This fee shall be divided between the Sheriffs and the State Law Enforcement Division with one hundred dollars of the fee retained by the Sheriffs and the remaining fifty dollars remitted by the Sheriffs to SLED on a quarterly basis. These funds must be used to support the Statewide Sex Offender Registry.

Mellerson was booked at the Clarendon County Detention Center.

Susan Collins says Marjorie Taylor Greene calling GOP senators 'pro-pedophile is 'obviously ludicrous' and 'typical’

Nicole Gaudiano

Tue, April 5, 2022, 12:10 PM

Sen. Susan Collins laughed when asked about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene calling her and other Republican senators "pro-pedophile" for supporting Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination to the Supreme Court.

"Frankly, this is what we've come to expect from her," the Maine Republican told Insider as she left the Senate chamber on Tuesday. "So it doesn't trouble me. It's obviously ludicrous and typical."

Greene's comments came after Republican Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah and Susan Murkowski of Alaska announced Monday that they would join fellow Collins in voting to approve Jackson's nomination, President Joe Biden's nominee for the vacancy on the court.

"Murkowski, Collins, and Romney are pro-pedophile," the Georgia Republican tweeted. "They just voted for #KBJ."

Greene appears to be referencing criticism from Republican senators during Jackson's confirmation hearing that she was lenient in sentencing for those guilty of possessing child abuse images, but legal experts said the attack is misleading and false.

Critics have interpreted Greene's attack on Twitter as an appeal to the far-right QAnon conspiracy theorist movement, which believes without evidence that Democratic elites run child-trafficking networks. She has been accused of having ties to the movement.

Greene's closest ally in Congress is Rep. Matt Gaetz who is being investigated by federal authorities for whether he engaged in sex trafficking and had a sexual relationship with a minor, which he denies.

Greene also has owned stock in Walt Disney Co., which she has called "pro-child predator" because the company criticized a Florida education law that critics have dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill.

With Collins, Murkowski and Romney joining Democrats in support of Jackson, it means she'll likely get confirmed by the end of this week and become the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court.
