Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington

Re: Information on a level 3 sex offender as far as our rights

First, this is a question you need to ask your superiors in the Boy Scouts. I'm sure the organization has clearly-defined policies in this regard.

Second, I would suggest you contact the local sheriff's office to learn what information is available about this man. Level III is very serious and poses a significant threat to society.

If the organization isn't able to provide you with the course of action, ask the sheriff for guidelines.

If you still don't have any direction, go with your instincts and feelings, which seem to be that you don't want him there. But also remember that you have a greater responsibility than just for yourself and your family. What might even be ok in terms of personal interaction/contact with this man may not be allowable when your responsibility is for other people.

Finally, go to him directly and in a straightforward manner tell him of your decision. If he hasn't heard it before, he will need to get used to it. Be sure to go ahead of time to avoid a scene at the time of the event.
