A convicted sex offender has just relocated to a new address in a Portsmouth neighborhood. Under Megan's Law, he was required to register with police. Parents are being urged to bring their children to the police department to see a picture of the man and to teach them basic safety precautions. Police say they keep an eye on registered sex offenders but also encouraged residents to start a neighborhood watch. |
