We've done a few of these stories in the Northeast. We have many offenders here. You don't have much if they're "rehabilitated" and moved into the neighborhood... only the NIMBY people. There's no killer story unless you catch them fishing for kids. You need an insider, someone who knows the publishable - and unpublishable - name lists, who has a head up when these guys find work in schools, camps, toys stores, etc. and lie about their history. You confront them when you catch them in the act for the evils they're doing NOW, not the past. That's what makes a journalist. Otherwise, you and your station can get sued.
