Which, with the help of Shanifaye and Guccilvr, I did very quickly. I had the information of the charges that put him on the registry before they pointed me to where details could be had, but no one went off half-cocked.

They're all buying guns and trying to get you kicked out of the neighborhood because they ASSUME you killed someone in cold blood, simply because you're on that list. Are you seeing yet where that list might not exactly contain all the facts that you should have before you start persecuting someone? And in the situation I described frankly you committed a worse crime than the just-turned-adult having sex with the not-yet-adult girlfriend.

It'd be a little more prudent to the discussion if you would not keep going back to this comparative scenario for a couple of reasons: 1) anyone coming into the discussion would get some dumb idea that I'm distressed over a horny kid who couldn't keep it zipped and 2) it's not the point at all.
All this back and forth and you keep insinuating that the subject of the OP's status was conjecture on my part. In this particular instance, we have two convictions of a sexual/lewdness nature; whether he's a known threat or not, I play to the side of caution and that includes what's unknown in my corner of the world.
If the one neighbor I informed goes on some vigilante tirade, it's her choice and ultimately, her own consequence to bear. Hindsight is 20/20 and I'd have been better off calling the police dept. myself to acquire information, but I knew her brother was on the force and erroneously felt she'd handle what was told in a mature, lawful way. I think she crossed a line sending out the flyers but even there I might be wrong; however, according to the NJSP site, it was not her job to do and violated the intended use of the site. But again, that was her choice, not mine and ultimately, it becomes her consequence.
