Do exactly what I say or I will hurt you bad...

Those are the words heard by a 10 year old girl as she was about to be sexually assaulted last week, by George Lynn Perez.

The little girl had arrived at the school 15 minutes earlier than the doors were to have opened (she arrived at 7, doors open at 7:15) and was waiting to catch another bus to her school when she was attacked by Perez, a Level 3 sexual offender.

The Morning News: She was grabbed from behind, her mouth was covered, and she was dragged into a space between a shed and a gymnasium, according to a probable cause affidavit filed Friday by Rogers Police Capt. Ron Largent.

The girl, a student at Old Wire Elementary School in Rogers, catches a bus at Eastside Elementary, a year-round school, officials said.

The abductor reportedly told the girl to pull down her pants.

"Do exactly what I say or I will hurt you bad," the man instructed, then sexually assaulted the girl, releasing her only when he heard someone approach, according to the affidavit.

"Don't tell anyone," he said, then walked away, according to the affidavit.

Robin Wilkerson, Eastside Elementary School principal, said the alleged assault occured at 7 a.m. Wilkerson said the school's doors do not open until 7:15 a.m., when teachers arrive for morning duty. Wilkerson also said officers investigating the incident advised school officials not to say anything.

The report indicates that Perez was "identified as a suspect because of previous convictions in similar incidents".

Perez has an extensive criminal history of sexual assaults:

He pleaded guilty on March 26, 1997, in Benton County to residential burglary and first-degree sexual abuse. He was sentenced to 20 years with 10 years suspended. He was paroled in September 2001; pleaded guilty on Sept. 16, 2002, in Benton County to financial identity fraud. He was placed on suspended imposition of sentence for a period of five years; pleaded guilty on Sept. 27, 2005, in Benton County to sexual indecency with a child. He was sentenced to four years of state-supervised probation; two misdemeanor convictions for indecent exposure, one in 1996 and another in 1997.

One is left to wonder just how quickly the courts will release him into society this time.

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...
