Judge Orders Sex Offender Back Under Bridge
Five Men Forced To Reside Under Julia Tuttle Causeway

MIAMI -- A convicted sex offender is forced to continue living under a Miami bridge after a judge turned down his request to go back to jail.

Kevin Morales, who has served his time and is on parole, asked a judge Thursday if he could go back to jail instead of living under the Julia Tuttle Causeway, but a judge denied his request.

The state ordered Morales and four other sex offenders to live under the bridge because the state has nowhere else to put them that would not be close to children. (my emphasis) . . .

The reason they are allowed to live outdoors is an ordinance intended to keep predators away from children, which makes it nearly impossible for them to find housing, County officials said.
