Sex offender ordered to display signs on house and car

Hudson, Kansas, home to 150 people, is better known for its flour than its registered sex offenders. But an unusual court sentence is bringing a lot of attention to the small town.

"It’s been hell,” said registered sex offender Leroy Schad. “It’s embarrassing. I've received gestures two times coming down the highway."

Schad has to display signs that read, “A sex offender lives here”, on every side of his home and on both of his car doors. He says it’s been the most difficult part of the sentence he received last July and he plans to appeal the decision.



“I've thought since the start that the signs on the car at least were a threat to me,”

Stafford County Judge Ron Svaty put in the unusual probation clause. Legal analysts tell KSN that judges have the right to do what they want as long as the sentence does not infringe on the suspect’s rights.
