Sex offenders don't reoffend

"They" tell us all the time about how sex offenders don't reoffend. About how it is the very laws we've created which cause the problems of sex offenders today. How it's not about protecting the public, but about punishing the offender even more. We've heard them say time and again that the rate of offenders who go out and continue to commit sex crimes is so low- it's barely noticeable. That sex offender treatment programs work so well, it's hardly worth bothering to monitor these predators.

I've heard it, other bloggers have heard it. The news media has heard it... and I'm sure if you want the nightly news, or read your paper, or visit a crime blog- you've seen all the excuses and heard all the 'guilt' that the sex offender supporters what you to feel.

After all, they made a mistake- shouldn't they get another chance?

No.

Because for every time I've had to read about how sex offenders aren't the monsters we all believe they are- every time I've had to listen to some sack of human waste defend his desire to quietly blend back in with normal society... I get to read one of these:

Sex offender charged in girl's hotel death

Police Capt. Robert Colbert says 33-year-old Mathew Caylor of Auburn, Ga., told investigators he killed Melinda Denise Hinson on Tuesday. The girl's body was found by hotel staff in Caylor's room on Thursday.


Sex Offender Flashed Child At Foxwoods, Police Say
A registered sex offender was arrested Thursday night after allegedly exposing himself to a 12-year-old girl at the Foxwoods Resort Casino.

Shelton Hendricks, of 15-1 Grande Street in New London, is scheduled to appear today in Superior Court in New London. He is charged with risk of injury to a minor, public indecency, breach of peace and interfering with police.


Sex Offender Charged With Assaulting Siblings
In 2003, a metro boy told his mother that Tharbar O. Ross had sexually assaulted him. Ross, 29, was the boy's aunt's boyfriend at the time and living in the same home as the siblings. The boy was nine at the time of the alleged assaults.

The case was taken to Child Protective Services, but nothing happened with the case until his sister told police in 2007 that she had also been abused by Ross when she was four or five years old.

Ross is a registered sex offender in Texas from an incident in 2000 and denies these allegations.

Idaho Child Molester Receives National Coverage
"Idaho recently released Bradley Stowell from prison after he served just three years for sexually abusing a child. And get this, Bradley Stowell admits to molesting two dozen boys, yet he served three years," said Bill O'Reilly during Monday's "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News.

Ironically, one day after he brought up Stowell on the show, the former camp counselor who sexually abused at least 24 boys is once again behind bars.

After just five weeks of relative freedom, Stowell's parole officer discovered he not only failed at getting a job but somehow he obtained a computer.


Oh, tell me again how sex offenders are harmless... how treatment programs work... how the only thing 'hindering' a sex offender from living a peaceful crime free life is the damn registries we require them to be on.

Let me let you all in on a little secret- most of these offenders were living the 'dream life', blending in with society, walking around without a scarlet letter on their heads- no registry, no criminal history... BEFORE they were out raping women, molesting children and displaying their lack of humanity. That didn't stop them from ruining it all by committing these crimes, just as putting them on a list hasn't prevented them from getting the 'need of reentering society' enough to be less likely to offend. These people were monsters, by their own choices, before we put them on the registry. And with or with out a database of sexual offenders- they will continue to be monsters. The registry just makes it easier to spot them.

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...

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

$167.90

He received $167.90 to serve on the jury. It couldn't have been an easy case to listen to. Hearing of how a 13 year old was raped by a 38 year old man who had befriended the family, it'd be enough to make most people turn in repulsion. But the juror did what he was suppose to, and long with the 11 other people who sat by his side- he found the defendant guilty. Believing that the child, who had come from a broken home- a mother battling drugs and a father who wasn't there- deserved justice, the 12 people performed their moral, ethical and judicial duty and sentenced Gregory Bryant to 30 years in prison. One would think that Bruse Funkhouser had earned that $167.90. Perhaps it would cover a small portion of the income that he lost while serving his duty to the courts. Perhaps it would just give him a little extra change in his pocket. So, you might wonder what would cause Funkhouser to return the check to the court house... Members of a Pawnee County jury are upset a judge g...
