Sex Predator information

Kudos to Franklin for keeping up the pressure on the Department of Health and Family Services (DHFS) and the state of Wisconsin in our fight to rid our neighborhoods of sexual predators. This particular issue stems from this springs surprise discovery that notorious, four time convicted pedophile Billy Lee Morford had been traveling across town several times a week to visit a home in Franklin. This Franklin home was the location of his DHFS approved "chaperone" and it also was discovered that Morford was also arrested in 1994 of trying to entice a 10 year old boy into a sex act.

** Information about Morford's probation agent: He too, is a pervert!
Morford's Department of Corrections probation agent, and on March 30 2006, he was himself charged with Lewd and Lascivious behavior, "alleged conduct allegedly occurring in public view in Estabrook Park in Milwaukee in the middle of Thursday afternoon on May 18, 2006, which case is pending."
--From page 9 of the press release

This man works for the DOC, he works closely with a notorious sex predator, and he has done this? Tell me why we should not be notified of where these chaperone's are located, since these predators can spend time at their houses, but as Steve said, "The State doesn't believe you ought to know because "it's part of the treatment plan."


The following is from Franklin Alderman Steve Olson's website, you can download the full text of the petitions from his site. This should help tighten the rules on these released Ch. 980 Sexually Violent Persons (SVP) as well as the chaperones that these SVP's are released to.



The City of Franklin has taken a legal step to determine what practices and rules are in place and used by the Department of Health and Family Services, the Department of Corrections and the Sand Ridge Secured Treatment Facility to manage and treat Sexually Violent Persons.



Today a "Petition for Declaratory Ruling" was filed with each of those departments seeking a declaration on several issues. They include:

- A declaration of rules used to manage SVP's on supervised release

- Policies and rules regarding notification to the community for release of SVP's.

- Whether sole use of a DOC database satisfies the Chapter 980 requirements to notify Police Chiefs.

- A release of names of "chaperones" of SVP's along with their addresses. (There could be a chaperone of one of these guys living next door to you.)

- A ruling on whether or not "tinkering" and "puttering" constitute employment under the statutes.
