In Cobb County, four regis tered sex offenders had been arrested under the provision of a new state law as of late last week, authorities said. Hall County deputies had arrested five. And in Gwinnett County, deputies had told six offenders to move because they were too close to churches and arrest ed one who didn’t comply. Much of the attention on Georgia’s new sex offend er law, which took effect in July, has focused on bar ring offenders from living within 1,000 feet of school bus stops. A federal judge has blocked enforcement of that provi sion for now. The change would have forced hundreds of offenders from their homes, prompting critics to argue it is uncon stitutional. But other parts of the law, introduced by House Majority Leader Jerry Keen, R-St. Simons Island, already are in effect. “It’s basically not up to us to decide whether or not we think it’s fair,” Gwinnett County Sheriff Butch Conway said. “We enforce the laws; we don’t write them.” Sex offenders who know ingly live too close to a church face a felony charge that carries at least 10 years in prison. More than 10,550 people are on Georgia’s sex offend er registry, with about 2,000 incarcerated.
