This office does not discuss that

It must be easy for the attorney general’s office in Waynesboro to ignore the fact that they have just released a sexual predator convicted of raping a teenager and molesting two young children go free. After all, when they are hit square in the face with the question of why they dropped the attempt to keep him civilly committed beyond his original prison release date- all they had to do was say that they don't discuss those sorts of things with the public. You know, the same public who now has to deal with the fact that after being convicted in 1997 for the first rape, and 1998 for the molestation charges, Jeffrey W. Small will be roaming free once again.

Small, 32, was convicted of raping a 15-year-old girl in 1997 as she lay passed out at a party at his Staunton home, according to court records. While free on bond and awaiting trial on the rape charge, Small molested two young girls, 8 and 6, in January 1998 as he spent the weekend at the home of a Waynesboro woman.

Small was sentenced to eight years in prison on the rape and molestation charges and had an additional 16 months added on after being convicted of trying to intimidate a witness in the rape case, according to court records.

In October, the state filed court papers seeking Small’s civil commitment, a legal maneuver upheld by the United States Supreme Court in 1997 that allows states to keep convicted violent sex offenders committed indefinitely at a state-run facility. Virginia is just one of 17 states that engages in the practice of civil commitments for convicted violent sex offenders. Small’s original release date was Nov. 9.



Why even enact a law that allows these perverts to be civilly committed, if you have no plans on actually using the law? Instead, just goof around for 8 months, making it look like you're looking out for the general public, and then drop everything.

And be sure you don't miss this 'opps, we didn't want to have to explain that!!' remark:

“This office does not discuss the internal decision making process in civil commitment cases. Mr. Small has been placed on a very strict conditional release, and will be closely monitored to ensure that he abides by all the terms and conditions of that conditional release,”


Besides just committing these crimes, Small was also in trouble for trying to intimidate a witness in the rape case, and more than 30 prison infractions during his more than nine years behind bars... geez aren't we glad he'll be out free.

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.

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
