LEE COUNTY, Fla. - A WINK News Exclusive investigation uncovers the Florida Sex Offender Registry might not be as accurate as you think.
A Southwest Florida man's address was listed on the Florida registry as being in Louisiana, but when we showed up to his last known address in our area we found him.
The man showed us paperwork proving he registered with the Lee County Sheriff's Office when he came back to Louisiana.
Our investigation found Florida's law enforcement agencies did nothing wrong, the problem was in Louisiana.
We're told the state put all their offenders in a new system and therefore wrong information was sent to the national database and Florida registry.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement says it believes this is a rare occurrence, but admits officers don't check what other agencies submit to the national registry.
Louisiana State Police now plans on checking its database to make sure other offenders information is accurate. ..News Source.. by Melissa Cabral
