Schools Demand Direct Alerts on Sex Offender Releases | Bermuda News

An opposition MP is demanding schools be directly notified when convicted sex offenders — especially those who targeted minors — are released, following the case of Kevin Goater, a 66-year-old released after serving just over two years of a six-year sentence. While the Ministry of Justice says public notices suffice, Shadow Minister Robin Tucker argues schools need formal written alerts to protect students. Child safety groups back the call for clearer protocols around early releases and risk assessments. The Attorney-General acknowledges public concern but warns against blanket notifications, stressing that Goater’s release was lawful and based on parole board review, and that all offenders remain under supervision. Any policy changes must be lawful, proportionate, and risk-based — not one-size-fits-all.
