Police seeking sex offender

New Jersey police in Middlesex County are seeking a registered sex offender for failing to register. After reading the following article on him I can safely say that this man poses a great threat to the safety of children, and is what I consider in great need of a lifetime in prison. There is a five hundred dollar reward for his whereabouts- although I favor turning him in just for the ability to keep him away from future victims, not for the money.

"MIDDLESEX COUNTY — A former male stripper convicted of the attempted sexual assault of a 5-year-old girl he abducted from her parents' front yard in Woodbridge is being sought by authorities after he failed to register his address as a sex offender.

Ronald J. Amate, 43, was convicted in 1993 of the assault on the girl in August 1991. He also admitted to sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl in Woodbridge by exposing himself then touching the girl's chest before fleeing.

Amate served five years in the prison for sex offenders in Avenel on a 10-year sentence, getting out in 1998.

In February 2000, Amate registered his address with Woodbridge police, listing it as Chain-O-Hills Road in Woodbridge, where he lived when the assaults took place.

He failed to reregister in 2002.

A grand jury indicted him on the fourth-degree charge of failing to provide his address to police in May 2002.

On Aug. 22, 1991, the 5-year-old girl's mother happened to look out the window and saw a man later identified as Amate grab the child and start walking away as he was trying to pull off the child's shorts, authorities said.

Her father jumped out the window, chasing the man shoeless. Police found Amate in the woods off Ronald Drive in the Avenel section of the township.

The sexual assault of the 9-year-old girl in Woodbridge took place on July 17, 1990.

Amate is 6 feet tall, weighs about 189 pounds, and has brown eyes and brown hair.



The Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office is asking anyone with information on the fugitive to call (732) 745-3362 during weekdays and (732) 745-3300 on nights and weekends.

Authorities are urging anyone coming into contact with Amate not to try to apprehend him.

The Prosecutor's Office is offering rewards of up to $500 for information leading to the capture of fugitives wanted on charges in the county."

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...

The Murder of Karen Tipton

A DOCTOR'S WIFE IS MURDERED, SPELLING TRAGEDY FOR TWO FAMILIES AS A YOUNG MAN’S LIFE HANGS IN THE BALANCE “48 HOURS MYSTERY” REVEALS NEW DRAMATIC DEVELOPMENTS IN A RIVETING LEGAL BATTLE THAT HAS PUT JUSTICE ON TRIAL In March 1999, Karen Tipton, a mother of two and the wife of psychiatrist Dr. David Tipton, was found stabbed 28 times in her Decatur, Ala. home. And for the last nine years Daniel Wade Moore, who was convicted of the crime, has been at the center of an unprecedented legal battle, one that has his life hanging in the balance. Moore, a former drug user, was only 24 when he was arrested for Tipton’s murder after he confessed to his uncle that he had been present at the scene of the crime. While being questioned by police, Moore stabbed himself with a penknife, a move that authorities believe stemmed from his feelings of guilt. Moore, however, says that he is not guilty, explaining that he was getting high on drugs at the time he confessed to his uncle and that he had a...
