Ex-Congressman Told to Move Away From School
From Times Wire Reports
Former Rep. Mel Reynolds, a Democrat who resigned in 1995 after being convicted of having sex with an underage campaign worker, has been ordered to leave his Chicago home because it is near an elementary school.
He was given 30 days to move because state law prohibits convicted sex offenders from living within 500 feet of a dense concentration of children, police spokesman Dave Bayless said.
Reynolds, 53, has lived at the home since 2001, according to public records.
