all sex offenders rape everyone all the time

I read this cnn article about sex offenders living near child car facilities, in homes with children, et cetera -

Sex offenders living at child care facilities, audit says

Am I missing something? Are all sex offenders potential child-rapists? Are they all even potential people-rapists? Let’s say you raped a woman, and you’ve served your time, and now you’re out of jail. Is it okay for you to live next to an elementry school? Let’s say you molested a little boy – is it okay for you to live next to an all-girls school? How about if you just flashed a bunch of people at a bus stop? What about consentual-yet-underage sex? Are we just assuming that a sex offender at any level is potentially a sex offender at every level? And – is that a neccesary assumption to make?
