Molester tells truth...

Surprising, I know. But it seems that Christopher Brainderd had a moment of truth when he told the court that the only thing that would stop him from molesting another child was.... jail. Yes, jail. No, not treatment... JAIL.
The sad part of this? Well, it seems that we only have five years of being free from the danger Brainderd presents...
The confession came from a man who had been through sex offender treatment twice, but remained a predator.

Most sex offenders do their best to stay out of prison. They generally get pretty rough treatment in prison and ask for treatment instead. However, Christopher Brainderd is in an Oahu prison because he said he wants to be in prison.

"I apologize to the victim and his family for all the suffering that I have caused," Brainerd said in court on Tuesday.

Brainerd admitted using a job running Yu-Gi-Oh card contests at a Moiliili game room to win a boy's trust before fondling him and exposing himself.

In Illinois and Hawaii, Brainerd used party magic and a teaching job to do the same thing with younger boys. After both cases, he got sex offender treatment.

"So, this is a clear example where attempts at rehabilitation have been abject failures," deputy prosecutor Scott Bell said.

His lawyer said that in three months of custody at prison he has been assaulted twice.

"Some people may voice the opinion he deserves no better or worse because of what he is charged with. I beg to differ," defense attorney Myles Breiner said.

Despite the danger, in a plea agreement, Brainerd volunteered to go to prison for five years without parole, admitting that treatment won't work.

Amazing that even with past convictions, even with him admitting that the ONLY thing that will stop him from doing this again is jail- in a few short years he'll be released yet again onto society.

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. 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...
