The Sex Offender at Your Door
Last May and June, Rebecca Aguilar of KDFW Fox 4 News in Dallas reported that the U.S. Postal Service had registered sex offenders on its payroll, some of them delivering mail door to door. Until Aguilar informed them, Postal Service officials had no idea these men had committed sex crimes since they were hired, she said. Last week, in "Investigation Prompts National Postal Policy" (the video report is on the sidebar), Aguilar reported that the Postal Service has responded to her original story and begun a computerized program to identify employees who have been convicted of sex crimes. Thanks to Investigative Reporters & Editors for highlighting this gem.
