福克斯新闻 为庆祝万圣节引争议的伊利诺斯州性犯罪者

Some residents in Caseyville in southwestern Illinois say it should be illegal for 55-year-old Jessie Griffin to decorate his home on Twin Drive with witches, spider webs, pumpkins… even a smoke machine, that neighbors fear will attract kids.

一些伊利诺斯州西南部的凯西维尔居民反应称：55岁的杰西·格里芬用一个挂着女巫、蜘蛛网、南瓜……甚至烟雾机的双传动器来装饰自己的家是违法的，邻居们担心这会吸引他们的孩子。

(Neighbor): "I don't believe that anybody that harms a child should get a break or a second chance."

有邻居抗议道：“我认为每个伤害过孩子的人都是不可饶恕的，是不值得获得第二次机会的。”

Griffin was convicted years ago of forcible sexual assault of a child, and Illinois law forbids registered sex offenders¹ from handing out candy on Halloween. But, there's no clear law on decorating.

多年前，格里芬因对一个小孩实施暴力性性攻击而被判有罪。伊利诺斯州法律禁止记录在案的性犯罪者于万圣节前夜分发糖果，但在装饰上并没有具体说明。

Police say they're investigating and working with the State's Attorney's Office to determine whether or not the Halloween decorations have to come down.

警方称他们正与州检察官办公室调查和处理此事，决定是否要将其万圣节饰物撤下。
