Judge Angered over Convicted Sex Offender

SOURCE- An angry judge has ordered prosecutors to get a convicted sex offender back in court saying the man poses a threat to the community and could run. However frustrated prosecutors say they still can't even file formal charges in the
case.
Clayton Russell Pinney was not in court Tuesday to hear what the judge had to say about him. "I've got to have this guy back in court. He is a threat to society. He's a pedophile and is out there preying on our children and I need him in court," said Judge Smith told prosecutors Tuesday to issue a summons for Pinney to at least return to court for a status check on a pending felony charge of failing to register as a sex offender in Nevada.
"We have to have our ducks in a row," said David Roger, Clark County District Attorney. The problem, according to Roger is that prosecutors don't have the required paperwork -- in this case a judgment of conviction -- from San Diego,where Pinney was convicted more than twenty years ago for molesting a child under the age of 14.
'We've asked the San Diego courts to send us this information, but we're really at their mercy. As soon as we get the documents, we'll file charges," Roger said. But the judge said he's only willing to wait so long.
"I'll give you one week. Get your investigators to take a summons out, and we'll
send him an immediate summons as well." Clayton Pinney is no longer at his
former residence on east Sahara. The property manager told Eyewitness News that Pinney resigned his position as maintenance man last week and was given 72 hours to pack up and leave his apartment. And in an interview with Eyewitness News last week, Pinney himself admitted that with no job and no home there's no reason to hang around.
"I've got to move on," said Clayton Pinney, convicted sex offender.
While police were at Pinney's home arresting him 12 days ago, two young male naval cadets arrived for what was supposed to be a sleep over that same night. Pinney was a volunteer youth leader with the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corp in Las Vegas. Although arrested, charges could not be filed against Pinney because of the lacking paperwork so he was released.

Always nice to know that some judges do get mad. What I want to know is what is going on with the charges. How do you arrest someone and not have the paperwork to keep them? How do you let a clear danger to society just walk out free, even after they admit that they have no reason to hang around?
