Gatesville residents ask council for more residency restrictions for sex offenders
GATESVILLE, TEXAS (KXXV) –
On Tuesday, dozens of Gatesville residents attended a city council in support of an ordinance that would increase restrictions for sex offenders.
The city council did not vote on the matter because it wasn’t part of the official agenda. However, residents said they would keep pushing the matter until it is part of it.
Amber Wilson and Alisha Carothers, the residents who are spearheading the effort, would like the city to require all sex offenders to reside at least 1,000 feet from where children gather.
