According to the Kentucky Law, KRS 17,500, a sex offender shall not reside within 1,000 feet of a high school, middle school, elementary school, preschool, publicly owned playground or licensed day care facility. Also, if a new facility was to open within one thousand feet of the offender’s home, an offender has 90 days to comply with the law. 

The other four subjects — Jeremy Bartlett, 35, David Vega, 22, Andrew Allen Lay, 28 and Randy Labonte, 45 — are still wanted, according to the press release. 

“We try to check in once a year and verify that the sex offenders are living where they are supposed to,” Peel said.
