A list?

A sexual offender spending 90 days in jail provides overwhelming proof that just as a cat can't change it's stripes, a sexual deviant can't be cured with a few months in jail.

Christopher Dwayne Watson has been locked up in the Malheur County Jail for the past 90 days for a sex crime with a minor. Erin Landis with the Malheur County District Attorney’s office tells NewsChannel 7 that sheriff's deputies found a list titled "people to look up," written by Watson.


The list contains the names of various children ages 6 to 17, and also includes the victim in the case he's now serving time for. Police say the list was detailed with information about the children, providing "everything short of an address to look these girls up".

But wait, it gets worse. He's still going to be freed, they aren't going to keep him behind bars they are just planning on 'watching him'. I'm sure that brings peace of mind to all the parents of these children.

Landis says as of Friday morning Watson is done serving his 90 day sentence, and the law can no longer hold him.

"We've done what we feel we can,” Landis said. “We've got him housed at the community Corrections Center. It's our expectation that he will spend the vast majority of his time there. If he does choose to leave that's an option, but we are going to keep an eye on him with the GPS.”


Turns out this sexual predator isn't even from the area to begin with. Rather, he's from Georgia and only came to the area after meeting his first victim online. The community would like to have him sent back to GA to serve out his 3 years of probation. Can't say I really blame them.

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...
