Sex offender accused of photographing trick-or-treaters

So, this year I was reading about many states banning sex offenders from participating in Halloween. A great idea. But in every comment section there was sex offenders crying about how unfair this ruling was. This story is the very reason why sex offenders shouldn't participate in children's holidays.

A convicted sex offender accused of photographing children while they trick-or-treated in the city of Waupun on Halloween faces three felony charges.

Edward R. Lieber, 36, 127 1/2 S. Madison St., Waupun, was released on a signature bond after making his initial court appearance Monday on three counts of photographing children without consent as a registered sex offender. He could face a maximum 10 1/2 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

According to the criminal complaint, Waupun Police were tipped-off when a woman reported that Lieber had photographed her 4-year-old daughter without permission while she walked through a Halloween display outside his home on the evening of Oct. 31.
