Two local parents say they don’t feel any better about a now-registered sexual offender because he already contacted their daughters.
FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Ohio —Two local parents said they don’t feel any better about a now-registered sexual offender because he already contacted their daughters.
NBC 4 reported with the FAST FACTS.
A Fairfield County parent contacted NBC 4 about an unregistered sex offender in Amanda this week.
The offender now is registered, but two local parents said they don’t feel any better because he has been in contact with their daughters.
Residents were questioning why the sexual offender still was on the streets and living near a home daycare.
Jeffrey Brisker, 21, was arrested last Friday in Fairfield County for failing to register as a sexual offender in his county of residence.
He was released from custody once he became registered.
Perry County sheriff’s deputies arrested Brisker Thursday for a probation violation stemming from a motor-vehicle accident Saturday, April 4, and charged with leaving the scene of a crime.
A magistrate released him again Friday on his own recognizance.
Polly Smith told NBC 4 her daughter and another minor were injured in the same April motor-vehicle accident.
Smith did not know Brisker was a sex offender because he was not registered in Fairfield County at the time of the accident.
She said she was stunned when she found out.
“He needs to finish whatever time he has hanging over his head. My kid was in an accident with him. We didn’t know that he was a pedophile,“ Smith said.
Smith’s daughters are students at Amanda Clearcreek and received a ride from Brisker.
Smith and another parent, George Bartram, want to know why Brisker still was on the streets of Amanda.
Smith and Bartram said Brisker has been banned from the Amanda Roller Rink for inappropriate behavior and they don’t think he should be allowed around young girls.
“My daughter comes home and says he got thrown out of the roller rink for showing nude pictures of little girls to other little girls, and they banned him from the roller rink,” Bartram said.
Brisker was calling and texting their daughters, Smith and Bartrum said.
Bartrum said Brisker was sending text messages to his 12-year-old daughter, which is a violation of the conditions of his probation.
“I just want to make sure he stands trial for what he’s done. I mean it just seems like they keep letting him out, and what’s it gonna take? Somebody’s little girl or little boy to get hurt?“ Bartrum said.
Before his arrest, Brisker was living with his mother on Julian Road near a home daycare.
The homeowner who runs the daycare said she had no idea she lived so close to a registered sex offender.
There was no word on whether Brisker would return from Perry County to Fairfield County.
Brisker’s probation officer said it’s up to Fairfield County to enforce any probation violations such as being around minors.
Brisker was scheduled to return to court Thursday, July 2, for his preliminary hearing. His final hearing was scheduled for Tuesday, July 7.
His probation officer said Fairfield County deputies would have to catch Brisker with minors to make another arrest.

Throw this piece of trahs in prison FOR LIFE and leave him there till he dies and then bury him behind bars.
good one, if only it were feasible. (i think i spelled that right)
No Laura, they should put the child molesters in a cage on the courthouse lawn. Strip them down to nothing and let everyone see them. Oh, and the fireman should stand outside the cage with their big hoses SPRAYING them down with cold water.
I’d like to request that all newspapers would list sexual crimes convictions,instead of us having to look them up on websites.
I only just started using a computer 5 months ago and know lots of people that do not.
I think it is pathetic that this did not make news in the Lancaster eagle gazette.
I feel sorry for parents today.We all have to work(usually),I didn’t have extended family closeby so I worked when my children were in school.
My daughter in law had to go to work shortly after my only grandchild was born and I was thrilled that she entrusted me with her.
I always say have someone that loves the child take care of it,if you can,but realize that isn’t always an option.
I did alot of the hosting of sleepovers etc.,when my kids were young,there weren’t sex offender registries then.
It’s pathetically sad that we’ve reached this point,that’s why I think we have to put these sickos away(or offer voluntary castration)forever.I say voluntary because I know courts will never force it.
How could the grandparents have not known?
The child pornography was on their computer. I agree with you Laura. They should have been held accountable for being accomplices to the crime. I would presume though that the grandfather being a “well known minister” could easily talk his way out of that one. Some ministers do have the gift of persuasion.
I completely agree. We will never have the full satisfaction of ensuring our children’s safety, but there are plenty of resources that can provide preventative measures.
My daughter has new friends as she just finished kindergarten and I utilize these resources when she is to be with a friend. It gives me a sense of security rather than waiting till its too late.
Amber,I think parents are afraid of being called “bad” parents-like they should have psychically known.But immediately upon finding out this info,I would have demanded an investigation as to whether my child(and the others)had been violated.
What’s up with these grandparents with the day care?Did they not know that their grandson was what he is? If they knew,and the grandson had done ANYTHING to the kids-they (grandparents)should be charged as accessories.
There are ways to protect onesself and kids though.My youngests best friend was about to move back to Columbus with her 2 year old child.She had been talking to a young man that she met online.I said"Hey babe lets look at whether he has a record.“While she was on the phone with me we looked him up.Thankfully nothing.She’s still extra careful about bringing her child around anyone.I’d like to think I’ve helped (however small)in making her aware of at least some tools at her disposal.
