The Indiana Civil Liberties Union is challenging a town law that bans a convicted sex offender from using its parks and recreation areas. The ICLU filed a lawsuit in Hendricks Superior Court on behalf of a man identified only as John Doe. The lawsuit says a portion of the town ordinance banning anyone listed on the Indiana Sex Offender Registry from Plainfield parks is unconstitutional. Town officials say the ban, adopted in 2002, is justified.
