Kelly Lumadue

By the time most people turn 21, they are thought to have enough of a concept of right and wrong to be considered a full fledged adult, and they are expected to act according to those concepts. Kelly Lumadue evidently believed that at 21, she should be given an exception to that belief, and even now she fails to take responsibility for her actions and would prefer it if the world would just let her pass the blame onto her dead husband.

Twelve years ago, back when the now 33 year old was just 21, she was married to a pornographer. It wasn't until after her husband died in 2003 that the evidence of her deviant acts was found in the garbage by a sanitations worker. The man had found video tapes on the curb in front of Lumadue's home, and after discovering the content of them, turned them over to police.

The tapes showed Lumadue sexually abusing a 5 year old boy, which she claims was done at the direction of her late husband. She was charged with the abuse after the discovery of the tapes in 2003, and even found guilty- but a judge questioned the verdict on the pretense that despite her ADMITTING the abuse, and despite the graphic evidence provided by the tapes, the victim no longer recalled the abuse and is appearing to live a well adjusted life. The judge demanded a retrial, tossing the conviction out.

Lumadue has once again had her case brought before a jury, and once again the evidence has proven her guilty-- and she's been given a life sentence in jail.

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.

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...
