Buried Lede: Pedophiles Prefer Early Bill Murray And Earlier Tom Cruise

I guess someone has to perform the unenviable chore of screening sex offenders’ Netflix queues:

As part of the state Division of Parole “Operation Halloween: Zero Tolerance,” 1,983 paroled sex offenders across New York also will have their DVDs and CDs searched for pornographic or other banned materials as part of conditions of their release. Using portable players, investigators will make unannounced visits to view parolees’ collections to ensure they are in compliance.

“This is a new tool we’ve provided parole officers with,” said Scott Steinhardt, a NYS Division of Parole spokesman. “They may see DVD cases that say ‘Caddyshack’ or ‘Top Gun,’ but they’ll be checked to make sure there’s not really pornography or other contraband on them. This is part of our proactive measure and has been successful already.”
