Sex offender moves into Habitat home
KINGSLEY -- Neighbors are outraged after finding out a registered sex offender moved in with a family awarded a Habitat For Humanity home.
Timothy Edington was convicted of two counts of 2nd Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct in 2003. Court records say he sexually assaulted a young family member.
Volunteers finished building the home in June. Edington moved in with the homeowner and her daughter shortly after. Habitat For Humanity Executive Director Pam Doty-Nation says when the family applied for the home in 2010, Edington was not on the application.
"We do a criminal background check and in this case we went ahead and selected the family. Had someone been on the application that had this type of record, the family would not have been selected." says Pam Doty-Nation
