For almost every story Charles McKenzie’s Journalism II class heard about registered sex offenders and sexual predators reoffending, they also heard of someone who had served his time and started a new life only to be physically attacked or driven from his home or job. To avoid this type of vigilante justice, The Minaret has chosen to print neither the actual address nor the identity of any of the offenders. All of that information is publicly available through a number of online databases. Students at any urban open university should be vigilant when walking on or off campus, and singling out one address should not make them any more alert. We fear that it could do more harm than good. Tampa police reports obtained for the home have shown no unusual illegal activity there in the last five years. Neighbors and the elementary school nearby know about the home and its inhabitants’ records. They report concern but stress they have had no problems. This article came about as part of an extensive semester-long investigation by McKenzie’s journalism students: Raubi Perilli, Jordan Myers, Kendea Jones, Angela Solomon, Ann McGuire and Mollie Anderson. In their effort to provide a balanced story, the sex offenders living at the address were asked in writing for an interview. Phone numbers, an E-mail address and a mailing addresses were left. No responses were received. Phone messages left for the home’s owner went unreturned. If they choose to tell their story, and we hope they do, we will add it the stories’ online versions. This print edition is the last of the year. The Minaret and the administration of the University of Tampa encourage students to act in a mature, responsible manner. Though these offenders might be viewed as a menace, they have served their time. We hope that a message board on The Minaret Web site (www.theminaretonline.com) will foster discussion about this topic.
