Georgia’s attorney says he’s now clear on how to enforce the state’s sex offender law. State Attorney General Thurbert Baker says sex offenders in George are only exempt from the state's strict residency requirements if they own property. Last month the state Supreme Court issued a ruling that seemed to completely toss a provision barring sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of any place where children congregate. Now, Baker’s office says that provision is only null and void for sex offenders who own property within 1,000 feet.
