Meldrum Greg Harvey

Thanks to a commenter for this:
SOURCE-
A Canadian citizen convicted of molesting a young girl in Kentucky has fled the country while free on bail to avoid a 40-year prison sentence, the FBI said.

Meldrum Greg Harvey, 52, fled to Canada in December about a week after his appeal of his conviction in Muhlenberg County was denied by the Kentucky Supreme Court, the FBI said Friday. Harvey was convicted in 2005 of molesting an 8-year-old girl while she visited his home in Sacramento in Western Kentucky.



I can not begin to imagine why on earth this child rapist (yes- it went beyond molesting her) was out of jail to begin with. Appeal or no- he should never have been a candidate for bond, and should have sat in a jail cell awaiting his appeal rather than being able to flee the country.

Harvey was convicted of first-degree rape and first-degree sodomy of a child under 12 in April 2005 and sentenced to 20 years in prison on each count, with the sentences to be served back-to-back. In August 2005, he was released after posting a $50,000 bond while his conviction was reviewed by the Kentucky Supreme Court.


The comment that alerted me to this included a link to this story:
FBI looking for Sacramento man convicted of child rape I'm not sure how long it will be viewable online, so I've copied the entire story:

Federal authorities believe a Sacramento man convicted of raping an 8-year-old girl has fled the country to avoid jail time.
Meldrum Greg Harvey received a 40-year prison sentence after he was convicted of raping and molesting a friend of his children in the summer of 2003. Court documents state he was accused of raping and sodomizing the girl in a backyard pool and in his bedroom. He also allegedly took pictures of her while she was changing clothes.

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...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...

Lost Little Girl

It has been 11 years... dare I say hello to old friends?   There's a new crime, a new missing person, a new murdered woman, a new victim. Nothing has changed. All these years and still - its all the same.   Gabby Petito   She's just one of countless pretty white blonde girls that the main stream media has paraded in front of us, capturing our attention as they lay out the plot that will play across our TVs and phone screens as we wait... first for clues as to where she could be, then for the news she was found, we wait for the reports that it was a homicide, detais on her last encounters... we want to know the cause of death. More than that we want to know where her #vanlife sharing and who most of the world believes was her killer, boyfriend Brian Christopher Laundrie is.   How do they pick which missing person will make the best headlines? How do they determine that Gabby will bring more views than Mary Johnson ? or Dulce Maria Alavez ? Why not ...
