Saline County Sees 45% Jump In Sex Offenders Since 2017



The well-being of our youth is a top priority of the Dorchester Times. 

To help parents, grandparents and caregivers take appropriate steps to ensure their children's safety, we are publishing this post.

Nebraska law recognizes that sex offenders present a high risk as repeat offenders. For that reason, sex offenders must register as provided by the state's Sex Offender Registration Act.

Under state law, there are three levels of registered sex offenders -- those who must register for 15 years, 25 years, and life. The duration is based on the seriousness of the crime. 

This information is used to provide public notices and information so Nebraska communities can develop reasonable plans to safeguard children and teens. You have a right to know.

There are currently 32 registered offenders in Saline County, according to the Nebraska government site. That's an increase of 10 offenders since 2017.

The registry's map shows one offender in Dorchester.

There are 13 in Crete (up two since 2017); seven in Wilber (up three since 2017); three in Friend (up two since 2017); one near Tobias; two in Western; one in Swanton; one near Pleasant Hill; two in DeWitt; and one near Tobias.

In other nearby communities, Milford has two offenders (with three more in the nearby countryside); Seward has 10; Lincoln has hundreds.

  4. Sometimes you need to know the facts before you judge. It doesn't take raping a child anymore to get on this list. There are some ppl who have been convicted that are innocent and some who were 19 dating a 17 yr old and someone got mad. There is always two sides to every story. And yes, there are the horrible wastes of oxygen who should be strung up and lynched on there too. I'm just saying not to judge until you know the entire story about someone.

  5. Tobias doubled in number of sex offenders when Derek Logue, anti-registry activist and child molester, moved in with Will Bassler.

    1. Interesting that this blog screens comments then allows personal attacks calling out specific people to be published. You must want to be sued.

    2. The Times will continue publishing any and all public reports. Thank you for reading.

  6. Most sex offenses occur at home, by someone known to the victim, and most sex crime arrests are of people with no prior record. Most on the list never reoffend.

    You people need to do real research instead of posting typical fearmongering nonsense.
