   DeSantis has been inviting his fellow pedophiles to move to Florida for   
   years.   
      
      
   The number of sex offenders living in Florida is on the rise, and most live   
   in Orange County   
      
   The number of registered sex offenders and predators living in Florida is on   
   the rise, according to a new state report.   
      
   The Associated Press reports 28,548 sex offenders and predators call the   
   Sunshine State home as of October 2018 – a 53 percent increase since 2005   
   when the state started reviewing its registry.   
      
   Registered sex offenders who are residents only account for 39 percent of all   
   registered offenders in Florida, which number 73,004 in total, according to   
   the December report released by the Office of Program Policy Analysis and   
   Government Accountability. The majority of sex offenders and sexual predators   
   on the state's registry – 43,607 people or about 60 percent – live in other   
   states, are currently in prison or have been deported.   
      
   Orange County has the highest number of resident registered sex offenders and   
   predators in the state at 2,299, followed closely by Duval (2,108) and   
   Hillsborough (1,823). In 2017, the Orlando Sentinel reported the greater   
   Orlando area ranked third in the U.S. for the number of reports to the   
   national human trafficking hotline.   
      
   The typical registered sex offender in Florida was a white, middle-aged male,   
   accounting for 73 percent of all registered offenders, according to the   
   report.   
      
   Sexual offenders are people who have been convicted of a "qualifying sexual   
   offense," such as sexual battery, human trafficking or video voyeurism of a   
   minor. People designated as "sexual predators" by a court because of an   
   "extreme threat" to public safety include repeat sexual offenders, sexual   
   offenders who use physical violence and sexual offenders who prey on   
   children.   
      
   The report points out that sex offenders in Florida face significant   
   obstacles in finding housing, which can affect recidivism rates.   
      
   "Many studies have established that sex offenders who maintain stable   
   employment, housing and family relationships have significantly lower   
   recidivism rates," the report stated. "Sex offenders in Florida face multiple   
   barriers to housing including residence restrictions, unwelcoming property   
   managers, a lack of affordable housing, and issues with employment and   
   income. These factors may contribute to the growth of sex offender enclave   
   communities and increases in offender transiency."
