A NINE-year-old Belmont boy says he was lured into the home of convicted sex offender Allon Mitchell Lacco while a pornographic movie played with the promise of free DVDs and CDs.
The boy also claimed the convicted West Australian sex offender, 42, gave him and a group of friends at the nearby Waurn Ponds skate park lollies and soft drinks just weeks before.
The youngster's fearful parents immediately called Geelong police to report the incidents.
``I was with my two friends and when I went into the house I saw the porno on and told them to stay outside,'' he said.
``I didn't even want to go inside but I wanted the movies.''
The boy's father said he was alerted to Lacco's presence in the neighbourhood _ about 500m from their home _ by the Geelong Advertiser.
He then discovered internet-based sex offender registry Mako had dropped fliers in Ursa St and nearby roads, alerting residents to its website which names and shames convicted sex offenders.
``I was devastated,'' he said.
``You try to give your kids a little bit of freedom but from now on we'll be keeping a much closer eye on them.''
Lacco was released from a West Australian prison last year after the rape of a 29-year-old woman and attack of an 11-year-old girl while on bail for the rape.
