Sex offender killed days after release from prison

A recently released sex offender died in hospital today after he was badly beaten over the weekend.

Alden Scott, 55, was found bruised and battered through a track road on Sunday.

Scott was the first registered sex offender to be revealed to the public following the establishment of a sex offender’s registry.

Scott was released from prison on May 20 after serving 16 months of a two-year sentence for the indecent assault of a one-year-old girl.

He was given time off for good behavior.

Scott had a previous conviction, where he served six years for the rape of a 17-year-old girl.

National Security Minister Wayne Munroe warned members of the public not to harass or harm Scott.

Otherwise, he said sex offenders would no longer be publicly named.
