In 2010, Frank Lindsay came home after running errands and noticed his front door was wide open. When he went inside to investigate, he found a young man in his dining room with two hammers — "one in each hand," he recalls.
"And he immediately raised the hammer in his right hand and started at me, indicating he wanted to kill me because I was a sick pervert," Lindsay says.
The attacker had found Lindsay's address on California's Sex Offender Registry.
Lindsay is on the list because in 1979, he pleaded no contest to lewd and lascivious acts with a minor under 14 — child molestation. Lindsay was 26. He served his time, followed by an offense-free probation. When it was all over, he resumed his life and started a business and a family.
