Decision Made In South Milwaukee Sex Offender Case

Update: Be sure to vote in the poll on this issue!

A Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge has ruled in favor of the city in the case against a sex offender who challenged unsuccessfully the constitutionality of South Milwaukee’s sex offender ordinance.

Judge Maxine A. White has ordered that Todd Kester move from his residence at 809 Manitowoc to a residence that complies with the city’s sex offender ordinance — one more than 1,000 feet from schools, day care centers, parks and other “specialized facilities” — by June 30.

Read the ruling — and a good history of the case and the ordinance — here. Kester is appealing the ruling.

White had already declared the city’s ordinance constitutional in a previous ruling, and a state Appeals Court declined to take up the matter.
