My neighbor is a convicted sex offender (just found out last week) The man is 6' 5" and scares me to death, I have avoided him to no avail. He seems to wait for me to come home from work now. Yesterday, he stumbled up to me drunk and grabbed me and started kissing my neck, my 4 year old girl just a few inchs away. I pushed him away and took my daughter directly into the house. The problem is I'm financially stuck in this apartment at least until my lease is up in a couple of months. This man is drunk on a daily basis. I'm afraid to bring the police in on this fearing it will cause this man to do far worse than he has. HELP!!!

Call the police.  If he put his filthy hands on you, that is assualt.  He might be on probation, so I would look into that.  He couldn't so drunk one of these days and no telling what he might do.  And your daughter is witnessing this behavior?  She might think it's okay for a strange, drunk man to be treating you this way.  Do something immediately.  I worked in  a prison for 8 years, I know how those offenders act and I would not want any of them living next door to me.  I'm not saying all of them are the same but he haven't seemed to change.

If you are capable of pursuing this legally, you absolutely should to save others from what happened to you.   Based upon what you have already stated, there is probably enough for the police to obtain a search warrant and if there is evidence in the home (and there likely is) to prosecute him and put him in jail.  You may have to testify about what happened.  Other girls may come forward.  It will not be easy, but it will really help you and the other victims as well as helping many other girls that you don't even know about.  Be brave!

I was going to answer this but the first respondent took the words right out of my mouth. If he has the audacity to hit you, please have him arrested immediately. If you have family, let them know you are living in fear and need help. Best wishes.

Being a guy myself like cartes above me I would beat the crap out of the guy but I don't know what he's thinking you should never hurt your child no matter what they are doing. I would call the cops on the guy before she turns 18 and it's out of your hands but if you don't she will learn I'm a guy and I know how guys are. He's into drugs, alcohol, and he's divorced I wouldn't be surprised if he's cheating on your daughter eventually she'll find out and realize how stupid she was but that can be after he gets her into drugs, alcohol, and pregnant I would call the cops or get some one to kick his butt I live in new hampshire and I also have a place in los angeles if you want my help kicking his a**

You did something you thought would help, unfortunately you got screwed over in return.\n\nNot much you can do, if he continues to say that you've done this then you'll have to find some way to prove that you didn't. \n\nEither way if he lays charges you're branded a sex offender. See a lawyer first, maybe talk to his grandmother, find out if he has any..............um...............other issues going on about why he would lie (I'm assuming your innocence). The fact that he is 18 does play in your favour, he is an adult and as such has the right to make his own decisions whether or not others think they are the right ones.\n\nIt's a hard one, I don;t want to tell you never help another, because then where would you be, but you have to think a little harder now about whom you decide to help.\n\nBest thing to do if this situation comes up again is have the names and phone numbers of a few shelters on hand.\n\na plus is that when the cops came they didn't arrest you they just told you to tell him to go home.\n\nBetter off not to have anything more to do with this kid either.\n\nHope it workls out for you.

If you are saying what I think your saying I would get away from that dude. It's only been 5 weeks. If he is doing things he shouldn't be doing and you are hanging around him you are going to get in trouble, or get hurt. I knew a girl once who had a boyfriend who was involved in that crap and she is dead now. Just think this way too, that dude is going to be in prison soon so you won't see him anyways. And that's the truth.

First thing should be to contact your local police station and ask them for advice, they'll gladly tell you what you should do in a case like this.\n\nThen, get somekind of maze or any of those intense sound alarms to keep on yourself just in case he ever comes near you to cause any harm.  Have it on you, like on a key chain or something, and always handy, just in case, especially if you're walking alone to your car or something, during the evening.  \n\nBuy a sign that states you have a house alarm and also one that states you have a guard dog and post it by the window or anywhere near the front door of your home -- those will serve as a deterrent should he ever get any ideas to break into your home. \n\nAs an extra security, add additional locks, like the chain kinds, to all of your outer doors.  \n\nAnd don't be afraid to tell as many people that you know about this creep, so they are aware of who he is and don't accidentally give out any personal information about you to him.  You never know, he may tell a coworker that he's your brother or brother-in-law and ask them something about you to get to you. \n\nWhatever you do, don't ever be afraid to take as many precautions as you can in order to be safe from this weirdo or any weirdo in general.\n\nBe careful and good luck to you!

First of all, does he have anything you would want. You can file for a restraining order that will not permit him to come near you. If he does, he will be arrested. \n\nI have known of one restraining order that require the bad guy to move because his apartment was within the prohibited distance. That is probably all you can do. The police will give him a warning at the most. All the States, cities and counties are too low on money to do anything else. It is too expensive to have a trial for something that only hurt someones feelings and left them feeling embarrassed and angry. \n\nToo bad, he should not get away with it. I had a similar thing happen to me. I decided to just forgive the guy to get it off my mind. He wasn't worth the time I was spending thinking about him.\n\nHere is something I learned many years ago and it is still my best friend in cases like this...\n\n"If they haven't taken away your happiness, they haven't won"

You can call the police or local Sheriff's department and ask to speak to someone in the unit that deals with sexually based or minor based offenses. \n\nIt is possible that in your state 16 is the age of consent, and as such the man may not be prosecutable under statutory rape or sexual predator laws (many US states list 16 as the age of consent, though some have further age restrictions beyond that). If this is the case, though, you can still take out a restraining order against him to stop the unwanted advances - no matter what, civil sexual harassment laws still apply.\n\nI'd suggest consulting a local criminal attorney or visiting a legal resource website based in your state and/or local jurisdiction for further help. A simple web search should bring up the site you need.

Your local police department love helping out in cases like this. They can scare him in to stopping. they will do a fake arrest and show him how he will be treated as a law breaker. give them a try.

You sound frustrated. I don't blame you. These things can take a long time if the police can't find\nenough evidence to get a conviction. Avoid this guy \nand make sure the parents in your neighborhood are\nawaare of this guy. If you find any evidence you think will help the police then tell them. Finally,\nbreak all ties with this guy. Just don't let him\ncome to your house anymore. He is innocent until\nproven guilty but that doesn't mean you have to let\nhim back into your life.

Anything you "do" is going to force her to defend him.  I know how frightening the situation is.  It could build in to full blown abuse. If this is what he does when drunk it will only get worse.  Sounds like you have already been through plenty with this relationship. It is so hard to stand by while our kids make big mistakes.  Been there done that! Just be there for emotional support, she will need you.

First, run spell check.\nSecond, he sounds like a predator. You should notify police.

Unless there are restrictions imposed in his sentence, there is nothing you can do to make him move. If you harass him, you could end up in jail. \n\nI am confused with the statement "To call the Police will get you on their list. Is there a safe way". Are you wanted? You can make an anonymous tip if you believe he is violating the law. \n\nYou can look up to see if he is a registered sex offender here: http://www.meganslaw.ca.gov/ or http://www.childsafenetwork.org/

Getting caught having sex! My husband and I were in his truck and we got caught by a police man. And when he shone his flashlight on us, my husband said "My flashlights brighter than yours". I could have killed him, I know I punched him in the thigh. But the combination of those two things embarrassed me more than anything else ever have. We didn't get in any trouble, because I was nice to the guy. I guess it didn't hurt that my husband is still on active duty with the Marines.
