Brockway Posts Sex Offender Pictures

 

BROCKWAY, Pa. —

The battle continues over a homeless shelter in Jefferson County.

This week, officials in Brockway decided to post pictures of local sex offenders at their borough building.

All those sex offenders live at the Just for Jesus homeless shelter in Snyder Township.

That shelter attracted attention after convicted killer Ernie Simmons moved there in May.

An opposition group, known as Concerned Citizens, has protested the acceptance of convicted felons at the shelter.

Members of that group requested that borough officials post pictures of the sex offenders.

On Wednesday, Rev. Jack Wisor, who runs the shelter, called the posting of the sex offender pictures, "unconstitutional."
