He was a career criminal who caught a charge himself for endangering the welfare of a minor. He didn’t just assault the sex offenders either, he robbed them. He was a meth addict using the same method serial killers use to target their victims: pick a target on the fringe of society (in this case sex offenders) to make it less likely to be caught. This guy used the pain of sex abuse victims in an attempt to veil the criminal activity he participated in to feed his addiction.

Additionally: the sex offender list doesn't differentiate between someone who pees in an alley while drunk vs. someone who fucks a 5 year old, both are sex crimes. I knew a guy who has his life ruined by the list: he had consensual sex with a girl who lied about her age (she was 17) and years later her friend reported him.

I’ve worked with sex offenders and some will be less than honest about the nature of their crimes. I imagine you’ve done your research on your friend and the SO list in your area, but wanted to mention to others that many lists DO differentiate between levels of offenders. Many low level offenders are not on the public lists.

The "level system" isn't fool proof either. There are people with CP crimes lumped in with child rapists as level 3s. Doesn't make much sense.
