The child sex offenders living at Wayside Cross in Aurora can remain at the ministry for at least a while longer, after a judge again delayed ruling on their request to temporarily block enforcement of a sex offender residency law pending the outcome of a lawsuit.
The Wayside Cross residents are seeking a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, which would allow them to remain at the ministry until their lawsuit challenging enforcement of a sex offender residency law is resolved. Kane County Circuit Court Judge Kevin Busch declined to rule on the restraining order and injunction Tuesday, saying he needed additional time to review several cases attorneys referenced during the hearing.
Notice the reporter overlooked that the whole mess at Wayside started because a convicted murderer moved there. Not one word about trying to get rid of him…
The story reads like the judge is desperately trying to find a way to rule against the affected registrants. Seems to me that doing so would be pretty pointless, considering the first suit in federal court covering the same complaints and issues was near certain to be ruled in the registrants’ favor. Even if the city does prevail here, I’m pretty sure it would be overturned on appeal.
The term “child sex offender” was used nine times in this article. I guess since the title stated “Registered sex offenders” as usual it is assumed by the uneducated in these matters that all “Registered sex offenders” are “child sex offenders”.
