Life On The Outside For Notorious Sex Offender

When Richard Laws was released from prison earlier this month, law enforcement sounded the alarm from one end of Vermont to the other.

A high-risk sex offender was once again on the streets.

Critics say that does nothing to help sex offenders re-integrate into society.
VPR's Alex Keefe spoke with Seven Days reporter Mark Davis, who spent a lot of time recently with Laws for a profile he wrote about his life on the outside - and uncovered some things that raise questions about Laws’ case.

Alex was a reporter and host of VPR's local All Things Considered. He was also the co-host and co-creator of the VPR program Brave Little State.
