Vermont: Welcome All Ye Sex Offenders!

I know that sexual offender treatment programs are the "in" thing right now- they're the politically correct way to deal deviant monsters who rape, molest, or engage in child pornography. Sadly, they are also the way to ensure that these sick lil' monkeys are released into the public- and able to again engage in these lewd actions. It's just "wrong" to not attempt to rehabilitate these sickos. After all- they only molested a child, raped a woman- etc.

But, still I have to wonder what went through the mind of Judge Edward Cashman, and through the minds of other "soft on sex criminals" judges in Vermont when they read the mornings paper.

A Burlington man has been sentenced in connection with his latest child molestation charge, his third new sex charge since he completed sex offender treatment.


I know, you're scratching your head... THREE charges since completing sex offender treatment. So much for Vermont's treatment program being the "best of the best" as everyone likes to call it. But, it gets even more disturbing:

Police say Fortier completed Vermont's sex offender treatment program after he was charged with lewd and lascivious conduct with a child in 1996, but was eventually convicted of a less serious charge of prohibited acts as part of a plea agreement.

According to court records, Fortier was convicted of prohibited acts for fondling children again in 2002 and again in 2004 and was permitted to re-enter sex offender treatment and was still in the program when arrested last month on the new sex charge.


Let's see, the pervert clearly isn't about to stop molesting children of his own free will- so let's just stick him in treatment and see if it "sticks".

Oh Vermont- the sex offender friendly state. But hey- at least he is looking at serving some time:
Lyndon Fortier, 67, will serve up to one year in prison for violating probation stemming from three prior convictions for child molestation. The violation was triggered by new charges that he fondled a neighborhood child at his LaFountain Street home last month. The new charge of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child carries a potential maximum of five years in prison.


I'm sure that year in jail will do the trick to protecting the next victims from this guy.

Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

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...
