5-15-2013 Massachusetts:

Framingham Police said the man reported by Hemenway PTO parents and mentioned in an alert by the school principal has been confirmed as not a registered sex offender.

Framingham Police said the man reported by parents and mentioned in an alert by a school principal has been confirmed as not a registered sex offender, said Framingham Police Lt. Ron Brandolini.

The Framingham Police school resource officer McGrath and the Police Safety Division, through an investigation, have confirmed that the individual seen yesterday on the bench by the PTO member was mistakenly identified and is not the registered sex offender from Framingham’s register sex offender list, said Brandolini.

Police have confirmed that the individual has no criminal history, said Brandolini.

Police investigated and determined that the property in question, where the benches are located are on Heritage House, which is private property and that the individual who was mistakenly identified is a resident of that complex and is lawfully present using the benches located there, said Brandolini.

On Monday, Hemenway Elementary School Principal Lucia Laguarda sent out an alert to parents that there was a report of an "individual that was suspected of being a registered sex offender waiting at the bench located between the Heritage House and Hemenway School."

The principal told parents that the "location is a public bus stop and it is within the legal distance of the school, if in fact it is this individual."

The K-5 elementary school principal told parents in her alert she has asked the Framingham Police safety officers to follow up with school administration on the report.

On Monday Framingham Police said there was a report of a "level 3 sex offender on that bench in the morning," from a citizen. Police also said they were investigating and monitoring the situation. ..Source.. by Susan Petroni
