Boulder police announced on Wednesday that a man deemed to be a “sexually violent predator” has moved into the Boulder Shelter for the Homeless, where he will join the remaining three sex offenders living in Boulder who carry the sexually violent predator designation.
The latest notification comes only a day after a public hearing before the Boulder City Council on Tuesday night about the monitoring of sexually violent predators that left many feeling more concerned about the issue than they were before the meeting.
On Wednesday, police announced that Rodney Jobe, who had been living in a Boulder apartment, has taken a bed at the homeless shelter in north Boulder. Jobe, who was convicted of unlawful sexual contact in 2014, has previously lived at the shelter.
Boulder police Chief Greg Testa wrote in a letter sent to the City Council on Wednesday that only one of the men, Christopher Lawyer, is currently on parole and subject to restrictions placed on him via the state that require him to wear a GPS monitor.
“The remaining three SVP’s are not on probation or parole and do not have any restrictions on their movement or housing and do not have GPS monitoring,” Testa wrote. “The police department does not have the constitutional ability to limit their activities.”
