Lincoln Police are investigating a series of attempted sexual assaults and a few similar incidents while trying to discover if one or more potential sex criminals is on the loose. If you or somebody you know sees anything resembling the pattern of incidents the police are looking at, try to observe as much as you can about the individual and call police.
On a related topic, note that the offenses (and potential offenses) illustrate nicely how sex offender zoning restrictions are not likely to deter sex crimes to any substantial degree. First and foremost, there is no evidence that the perpetrator(s) live anywhere near the locations of the incidents. Second, as Police Chief Tom Casady said, sex assaults by strangers "are very, very rare". Most sex assaults are committed by persons known to the victims. I wish a solution to the problem were as simple as boxing sex offenders into a corner; unfortunately, reality shows that will do little more than give us a false sense of security.
