BOULDER, Colo.—Boulder County inmates might have to use mostly postcards instead of sealed envelopes to send letters after sex offenders allegedly wrote to young girls.
Authorities are investigating whether 26-year-old Gino Alarico Rael wrote letters in what deputies say were attempts to “groom” the girls. He received a four-year deferred sentence in 2006 for enticing a child and will be in court Tuesday on allegations that he violated conditions of his sentence by contacting young children.
At least one other jailed sex offender is accused of writing to children after collecting information about them from newspapers and other sources.
The district attorney’s office says a state law aimed at adults trying to lure children focuses on the Internet, not the postal system.
