A convicted sex offender continues to search for a place to live after the Green Bay Sex Offender Residency Board turned down his second attempt to move into the city.
Geitano Schmidt's appeal was denied Friday afternoon.
This was his second appeal to the city of Green Bay but the third address in to which Schmidt, 50, tried to move.
Last month he had a lease for an apartment in De Pere, which the landlord revoked following a public outcry.
Schmidt was convicted in 1986 of first-degree sexual assault of a child.
He's been living at the Brown County jail, searching for a place to live for about five months.
Before Friday's vote, residency board members said they were concerned Schmidt was not yet ready to move back into society and they were worried he hasn't yet owned up to his actions.
Schmidt's frustration was obvious following the board's vote.
"How am I ever going to get out of jail then, if I can't live anywhere? How am I going to get into life if I can't get out of jail? This is what my problem is," he said.
"We're saying, you're going to have to live somewhere else than Green Bay," residency board member Renee Keehan said.
Schmidt will remain living in the Brown County jail for now. He can appeal to live in the city of Green Bay as many times as he wishes.
