Thanks for not trashing that tape...

A worker on Indiana 11 in Bartholomew County (Indiana) most likely didn't realise the important role he would play in helping to lock up a child molester.
Detectives found an alleged child molester by tracking him from a videotape found by a highway worker.

The tape was found along Indiana 11 in Bartholomew County by the worker, who took it home, discovered scenes showing a young boy being sexually abused and turned it over to authorities, state police Detective Rob Simpson said.

I have to say that most people would have picked the tape up and tossed it into the trash without ever stopping to consider taking it home... or even more probable, they would have left it there at the side of the road. In either of those cases, today there would be one more child molester free, but thankfully, he picked it up. And even more importantly- when he realised what was on it, he handed it over to police.
Detectives took still images from the tape, and tracked the victim down by visiting schools in the area. They were then able to determine the evil perverted child molester who was shown in the tapes- Donald Perkins. Perkins was arrested, and is currently being held in the Bartholomew County Jail on $580,000 bond on felony charges of child molesting and child exploitation.

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...
