Construction services company owner/sex offender charged with molesting two girls

by administrator · Comments 0

A DuPage County judge set bail at $1 million Tuesday for a registered sex offender accused of molesting two young girls, including one who was at his home for a sleepover.

Joel Augustine, 34, of the 500 block of East Thornhill Drive, Carol Stream, faces three counts of criminal sexual assault and one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. He would have to post $100,000 to be released from jail.

Augustine served time in prison and became a registered sex offender after he was convicted of attacking his then-17-year-old girlfriend behind her workplace in 1999, when he was 21 years old, according to court records.

He also has prior arrests for marijuana possession, drunken driving, domestic battery and failure to register as a sex offender, among other offenses, prosecutors said.

In court Tuesday, Augustine identified himself as the owner of a construction services company and asked for bail to be set at $5,000. Judge Elizabeth Sexton set bail at $1 million and ordered him to have no contact with minors if he is released from custody.”

Sex offender found working near Naples summer camp

by administrator · Comments 0

“Tuesday, Raymond Reed, 29, was arrested after a routine traffic stop. Naples police quickly discovered the man was a registered sex offender, living unregistered in a Naples hotel and working for Village Pools, an Orlando based construction company contracted to build the River Park Pool.

Reed was arrested in 2001 and again in 2005 in Orange County. He’s accused of lewd and lascivious conduct on a victim under 16 and sexual battery of a victim under 12.

Because of those convictions, state law says he can not work, “whether for compensation or as a volunteer, at any business, school, child care facility, park, playground, or other place where children regularly congregate.”

“A background check should’ve been done. I don’t know where they went wrong, but a background check should’ve been done for this man,” says Pascal.

Lykins says it’s the subcontractors responsibility to do background checks. “We have a clause with the city, when a purchase order is issued, contractors will abide by all laws, federal, local and state and hire the people with the right backgrounds to avoid this very thing,” says Lykins.
WINK News reached out to Village Pools in Orlando to find out about their background check process. They did not return our call, but we are told Reed was fired from the company. He remains in custody in the Collier County Jail.”

Ensure that all subcontractors and their employees go through a thorough background check, especially when working around children. Assurance Screening can help you Be Sure.

Minister confirms sex-offender worked at school

by administrator · Comments 0

“An investigation by the education ministry revealed that for nine days last summer a convicted sex offender was working on a government school campus for a subcontractor. Following an article on CNS last week that raised the issue, the minister told the Legislative Assembly that the man was on site for three and a half days when students were in the school but in a construction zone isolated from the rest of the campus and his remaining time there was spent when students were not at school. Rolston Anglin said that no complaints had been received but he revealed immediate measures to prevent the situation happening again.”

Are your children safe when you drop them off at school each day? Ensure that your school mandates that all employees, contractors and vendors that come on school grounds go through a thorough background check. Be Sure.

Three online dating sites agree to screen for predators

by administrator · Comments 0

“Three online dating giants agreed to screen for sex offenders and take other safety steps after a woman was assaulted on a date, the California attorney general’s office announced Tuesday.

The statement was prompted by the 2010 sexual assault of a Los Angeles-area woman by a man she met through Match.com, Gledhill said. Alan Wurtzel had a string of previous convictions for sexual battery.

The woman sued Match.com, seeking a court order requiring the website to check applicants’ backgrounds to weed out convicted sex offenders. She dropped the suit last year after the site provided proof of such screening.”

Ensure your current dating & matchmaking service conducts background checks on all members seeking partnerships. Use Assurance Screening and Be Sure.
