Another Law Based on Fear and lies
by Staff Writer - January , 2022


Pennsylvania state Rep. Rob Matzie, D-Ambridge plans to introduce legislation making it difficult for some of the states most vulnerable citizens, aging and ailing convicted sex offenders to enter long-term care facilities. Under current Pennsylvania law, facilities are not required to accept any patient. The new Megan's Law for nursing homes will allow care facilities to more effectively deny care to those on the registry.

Proponents of this law state that "offenders are quietly entering long-term care facilities, where some easily are finding their next victims". There is absolutely no evidence that this statement is true. Sex offenders are no more likely to assault another nursing home resident then any other resident.
