DK proposes database of sex offenders

Budapest, May 11 (MTI) – The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) has proposed that the government should create a public database of people with a criminal record for sexual offences.

Such a data base would enable parents to check if people working with their children had committed any sex-related crimes, DK deputy Lajos Oláh told a press conference on Wednesday.

Referring to a sex-abuse scandal in connection with László Kiss, who recently resigned under pressure as head of the national swimming federation, Oláh said that “people earlier sentenced for a sexual crime can actually be found in any job now”.

DK earlier suggested that an ad-hoc committee should be set up to investigate crimes committed against young athletes.
