ALBANY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, October 4, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Group homes are for our most vulnerable people with disabilities, not for convicted sex offenders and known sexual predators. – Michael Carey – Civil Rights & Disability Rights Advocate

Governor Andrew Cuomo has been illegally placing convicted sex offenders and felons into group homes for years according to the Office of People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD).

New York State penal law 260.25 says it is a felony crime to endanger the welfare of an incompetent or physically disabled person.

“A person is guilty of endangering the welfare of an incompetent or physically disabled person in the first degree when he knowingly acts in a manner likely to be injurious to the physical, mental or moral welfare of a person who is unable to care for himself or herself because of physical disability, mental disease or defect.

Endangering the welfare of an incompetent or physically disabled person in the first degree is a class E felony.”
The Jonathan Carey Foundation is bringing these illegal and extremely dangerous matters to the forefront and has located over 50 sexual predators so far from minimal research to date, only 15% of all NY counties from a partial list of facilities and group homes. Statistically, it appears that the numbers of convicted sex offenders already placed into group homes throughout New York State may be in the hundreds. All New York State District Attorney’s have been asked by Michael Carey the founder of the Jonathan Carey Foundation to intervene to stop these illegal placements, ensure the removal of all sexual predators from group homes with the disabled and to prosecute the individuals involved in committing these crimes.

The State has acknowledged that they have been placing convicted level 2 and level 3 sex offenders that have a clear and known risk of reoffending to live in group homes. The State of New York is attempting to claim that they can protect disabled residents, which is ludicrous and impossible.

Here is what a convicted sexual predator and pedophile said of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s system, it is “a predators dream.”

"The lack of supervision there made it easy to do what I did," DeProspero said in a handwritten affidavit obtained by The Associated Press. "I could have stayed in that house for years and abused him every day without anybody even noticing at all. It was a predator's dream."
