Definition of Sexual Predator
Doyle asked about the difference between Sexual Offenders and Sexual Predators. Here is the definition from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement regarding Sexual Predators.
Repeat sexual offenders, sexual offenders who use physical violence, and sexual offenders who prey on children are sexual predators who present an extreme threat to the public safety. Sexual offenders are extremely likely to use physical violence and to repeat their offenses, and most sexual offenders commit many offenses, have many more victims than are ever reported, and are prosecuted for only a fraction of their crimes. This makes the cost of sexual offender victimization to society at large, while incalculable, clearly exorbitant.

There is a difference between an Offender and a Predator, but both have been convicted of sexual offenses.
More can be found here, you should read the guidelines. And here you can find out if there are any Sexual Offenders or Predators in your area. None in my immediate area, but there are 60 in my zip code. A couple are in custody in the County Jail, several have absconded from probation (they could be anywhere), and at least one has been deported.
