Edward Ziesmer

In April of 2003 Edward Ziesmer moved from Wisconsin to Florida. Upon moving to Florida, the 61 year old who was of rape convicted in November 1988 in Sauk County failed to register as a sex offender.
Ziesmer is now in custody after Lee County Sheriff’s deputies say he abducted and raped a girl in Bonita Springs Saturday afternoon.

Sheriff’s officials say Ziesmer grabbed a Hispanic girl under the age of 12 and placed a shirt over her head on Iowa Street, off Bonita Beach Road just west of Old 41 Road. He then took the girl into a wooded area and sexually assaulted her.

Authorities are not releasing the girl’s name because she’s a minor. The sheriff’s office received the call at about 4:22 p.m.
[...]
Witnesses to the crime flagged down Sgt. Adam Sedwick who was on routine patrol in the neighborhood and alerted him that they had seen Ziesmer take the girl into the woods.

Sedwick then found Ziesmer and the victim about 25 feet into the wooded area. Ziesmer was apprehended without incident.

Upon further investigation, the sheriff’s office found that Ziesmer had sexually assaulted the girl. SRC
This is the second rape reported within the last weeks in the area, according to one news source, but I was unable to find more information on it.

Some of you may recall a recent entry here on the problems with the Florida Sex Offender Registry. I would say that this recent case should move us to act upon this problem, and diligently work to correct it.

Florida's handling of sex offender's on the registry may not be the only problem. Just the other day I ran across an excellent article on the treatment program and civil committment program that they use.

Wake up America! These creeps continue their predatory ways no matter how much we try and rehabilitate them. Until we find a way to treat these pedo's we need to keep them locked up!

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...

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...
