Dear Neighbor,
As your assemblyman, I have sponsored and supported legislation that installs safeguards to protect
society from sexual predators. Gov. George E. Pataki in January signed legislation that expands and
strengthens New York’s Megan’s Law by lengthening the time sex offenders remain on the state Sex
Offender Registry.
The next step is enactment of a civil confinement policy allowing judges to order the most dangerous
sexual predators held in secure mental-health facilities following their incarceration if they are deemed
continuing threats to society.
The reality of these stronger laws is that the courts and law enforcement deal with the criminals after they
have committed their heinous crimes. What you need to know is how to protect your loved ones from
becoming victims. Inside is information that may help you and your family avoid becoming victims.

Sincerely yours,
David G. McDonough
