Can a registered sex offender be the president of an HOA?
I moved here unknowing that fact. His exact crime was possession of child pornography. I have a small child. He has knocked on my door for information concerning our home title with my child in his presence. Also, we are now required to put stickers on our vehicles to identify homeowner’s in our neighborhood which gives him privy to our home addresses and vehicles info and names of our family members and phone numbers. I do not wish him to have these. Another disturbing fact is that his office where we are to get said vehicle stickers is located right beside the community pool with views of swimming children. Is there is some law that makes this illegal?

No, unfortunately, there is no law that makes this illegal: a registered sex offender can be president of an HOA or otherwise occupy many positions (e.g. building maintenance; contractor doing work in family homes; etc.) that bring him into contact with young children. Your best recourse may be to try to get him voted out next time there is an election.
