Weekend Perverts

Okay, so I've cheated and skipped actually writing anything for the last few days. I have a good excuse, but rather than sharing it- I though I would share some more screen captures.


Now, I have a even more interesting screen capture for you- but there is a little story behind it that I thought I would share first.

At one time, I lived in Orange County Florida, so naturally, I get a little more interested in news from there compared to my already high interest in sex crime cases. So when I heard about this one, I wanted to look into it.

It seems that a male in Orange County has been casing homes near golf courses looking for female victims. When he recently found one, he approached the home, told the female that he believed he may have broken a yard light with his golf ball- and offered to go look. He pushed his way into the home and attempted to sexually assault the woman.

The male is described as white, around 30 years old with a goatee. Personally, I'd imagine that by now the goatee is most likely gone. But that's just my thoughts on it.

You can find the entire news story, with video and a sketch of the would be rapist here.

And now that you're aware of the story behind this next screen capture, I should tell you that I found that story at CNN. For those unfamiliar with CNN's website, under the US news tab, they highlight stories from each part of the States. Sometimes they keep the headline the same on the story, but most times they attempt to improve upon it, or change it a little. For the story I shared with you- they took the liberty of changing the headline.... although I'm not sure it was a real improvement.
Pest? A Sex Pest? Really? I don't know about you, but when I think about a pest- I think about a nuisance or some sort of unwanted rodent... not an attempted rapist. Pest just doesn't seem to cover the disturbing nature of this criminal. Perhaps someone should buy CNN a better Thesaurus.

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...
