Sex offender’s probation extended

A Level 2 sex offender was in violation of his probation when he was twice seen near Hingham schools, a Norfolk County Superior Court judge has ruled.

The man, who lives in Holbrook, will have his probation extended by two years, will be required to wear a GPS monitor, and must stay at least 75 feet away from all elementary schools and public parks, Hingham police confirmed.

He was stopped by police on March 30 near Hingham High School and March 31 near South Elementary School.

A Hingham resident called police on March 30 after seeing a man driving a white Ford Crown Victoria slowly behind a 12-year-old girl on a bicycle.

The next day, the man was stopped near South Elementary School by a police officer who recognized him from the previous day’s call.
