Bickford could be one of them.
I'm not on the same page though when it comes to BS as my interpretation of Dan Box's wording is they spoke to known "sex offenders" and DB specifically states "arrested at about the time William went missing". Just my interpretation but imo BS falls outside that description. IMO the report refers to the 20 RCSO's and particularly those who had been arrested.
What it might mean is there were others from the 20 who were arrested and are POI's who are unknown to us.
The police have interviewed dozens of people including a number of paedophiles. A Current Affair reported that about 20 registered sex offenders were living in the surrounding area of Kendall where Tyrrell went missing.

Sources told the ABC police were also talking to all known sex offenders in the region.
Timeline follows disappearance of William Tyrrell
Definitely does not say 'known' sex offenders in Dan Box's article. Just sex offenders. Could be alleged sex offenders, too, who were charged with sex offences prior to Dan writing that article.
Other sex offenders arrested at about the time William went missing also have come to the attention of police.

Another William Tyrrell person of interest
Jones, Bill Spedding, and GAPA are the only investigated persons/entities (in this case) spoken of in the article. No reference to the 20 pedos in the area at all.
In my experience, Dan usually writes his articles quite carefully.
