Richard Linington and Fiance Sue Cypress for Strengthening Sex Offender Ordinance

A registered sex offender is set to go before an Orange County Superior Court judge this afternoon, but the 47-year-old is not a criminal defendant.

Richard Milen Linington is suing the city of Cypress over a new ordinance that he says will force him to move out of the home of his fiancée. He is seeking a temporary restraining order to stop the ordinance from going into effect next Wednesday, Aug. 26, as it prohibits registered sex offenders from residing within 1,000 feet of any school, park or day care center. The home of Linington’s fiancée, Michelle Moreno, is less than 1,000 feet from a school.
