CHICAGO – Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul is reminding parents and guardians to check the state’s sex offender registry before finalizing Halloween plans. Illinois law bans all sex offenders who committed a crime against a child from distributing candy and participating in trick-or-treat events or other Halloween events involving children. As of this month, there were more than 34-thousand registered sex offenders listed on the Illinois Sex Offender Registry, and more than 27-thousand of those committed a crime against a child.
