Conventions and convicts

[strredwolf]

I have questions.

First, are we sure the person in question *is* a convicted child sex offender (aka paedofile)?  From what I could dig up, the answer leans (if not topples) into “Yes” — he has a public criminal record.  So make that assumption and lets continue.

Does ether: 

• The law in the state he was convicted in, or in the state he is in now (Nevada) say that all convicted child sex offenders has to maintain a minimum distance between them and a child (a minor in legal terms)?  
• Or a court order exist requiring the person maintain said minimum distance between himself and a minor?

If ether one of the two exist, then not only is he violation the law/court order, but also the convention may be liable for enabling him to violate said law/order, given that they have been notified of the problem well in advance.  

In other words, I doubt BLFC has consulted their lawyer on this... if they have one.

I believe Anthrocon is going through the same problem with the same person and saying basically the same thing as BLFC did.

Sounds like we need to ask Boozy if there's a law prohibiting paedofiles from contact with minors.
