Sex offender facing life term

Another one bites the Dust.. What is it about Bell County? Are there no adult women?

The said thing is that their are just more perves than men. I hope he doesn't get parole.

I think every one should be forgiven, the 1st time, I see he is a repeat offender, so to jail shall he go.
What I do not understand is what is wrong with these young females, do they just think about sex? The parents need to teach her what is right and wrong.

"What I do not understand is what is wrong with these young females, do they just think about sex? The parents need to teach her what is right and wrong. "

This statement places the blame on the victim and her family. The victim is not responsible for the crime the perpetrator committed against them. Our country has fought for years to create and change laws in order to protect children and your misplace of blame just put us all back in the dark ages. Did you really just crawl out from under a rock in order to post? Go back, please go back. We have enough backwards people in society who place blame on victims.

Did you not read the article where it stated the GIRL ask the man to come over and had done this several times?

She should have to take responsibility for her actions also, yes she is the victim, as define by law and it was wrong of this man to take advances towards her, but think about it, if she had not invited him over, it would have not happened! So who has their head in the sand? The mother would naturally say she was not aware of the situation, because of this law that states ,

Are Americans aware that if they have knowledge that their juvenile child is having consensual sex with someone of 18 years or older, they (the parent) can be convicted of indecent liberties by person of supervision and listed on a Sex Offender Registry for 15 years, 20 years or for a lifetime?

Parents need to take responsibility of their children also!

Good bit of knowledge. Here some knowledge that you left out. Like how we not only blame the victim but create illnesses to protect the guilty party or person. Most of our criminals are second and third time offenders. Is this not pathetic or what.

we also eliminate illness to protect the guilty.

just like taking homosexuality off the list of personality disorders. now it seems like homosexuality is the in thing or they want to try and make us think that.

Yes it is pathetic that we allow 2nd and 3rd time offenders out for serious crimes, but what has got me is all you have to have is a accusation, because of the “Victim’s Rights Laws & Rape Shield Laws” an ACCUSATION ALONE is sufficient for a conviction, a prison term of 5 to 25 years or even life and then being listed on a Sex Offender Registry most likely for life?

If this man was a repeat offender he should go to jail, and this is why some of the laws we have do not work. and if the sex-offender registry was not so overcrowded with low risk offenders then maybe we could be watching people like this more often. But we only know what the news story said.

I am a citizen of this great country that thinks these laws are counterproductive for offenders and their families, the stereotype of offenders is more of a myth than the truth.

The public has been led to believe all the untruths by media groups, so they can make headlines to sell more papers and have better rating. Yes it is a very unpopular subject, but people need to educate themselves to see the truth.

I am not standing up for the ones who rape small children, but stop putting every one on this registry that is not a TRUE threat.

The more people that are put on this, that are not a true danger to the public dilutes the registry and does not allow the ones that made a mistake to ever be able to get their life’s back. JMO

I agree. Totally. We do spend to much time on the low risk people. I don't think the headline is being used correctly. Go to your local Walmart or Kmart even malls. See how many parents have their kids in visual sight. How many kids are walking behind their parents not even holding their parents hands or nothing. How many kids are on one side of the store while parents are on the other. It's crazy but they wonder why their are so many sex offenders. We are our own true threat.

yes you are right about parents,
I am not sure but I do not think we have so many sex-offenders (That is men or women that are of violent tendency's)
I do not think Americans are aware that somes states' legislatures (Virginia 2006 & 2008) broadly re-classified Non-Violent Offenders to Violent Offenders? This includes many offenses that had NO physical contact.
The situation that has been imposed upon the “Registered” is that, under the guise of protecting our children, the Legislators are in fact repeatedly trying, convicting and re-sentencing Citizens without even notifying them that this has occurred. To re-sentence a Citizen of the United States without giving them the opportunity to testify on their own behalf is clearly a violation of their Constitutional Rights.
This is also what happened with the Adam Walsh law, it reclassified most low risk offenders to a tier 3 so the states could continue to get funding
I also do not think the public knows that the offender on the registry will always get older, but the victim stays forever young, in other words a 18 year old could have had a affair with a 15 year old, and now he is 40 and she is still 15 on the registry, so the facts are hidden, every one thinks it was a older man that molested a young girl, which was not the case.
I could speak forever on this subject and many more, But it has opened my eyes to how I look At a so called sex-offender now. Thank you for your time and have a good day!

Okay I see what your are saying and your right. There should be a limit per say. It's sad actually. I know that the registries don't update nor does the websites. I believe that a sex offenders should be categorized. I mean I know a guy who did something at 18 with a girl who was 16 at the time. He is now 38 and still has to register even though he is married with children. I mean come on. They were both still in high school together.

Listen here hillbilly. A 32 year old man HAS NO BUSINESS WITH A 13 YEAR OLD CHILD. You are all sick to defend this man who belongs in jail. This CHILD is the victim. Stop blaming the parents, and the CHILD. What I really wanted to right got censored and it is too damn bad.

Please reread my post, I did not say any thing about it being ok for a older man to be with a 13 year old. Please only reply when you have the correct info, and you are right it is wrong, but you did not read the whole post or you put the spin on it!

Yes you are correct, so we need to change the registry to make it more effective and returned it to their original intent, to list the most dangerous and untreatable and repeat offenders.

It is really very simple, but


Our Legislators have taken a group of people and used them as a platform to win elections and instill fear into the parents of our country so that they look like heroes.

People that are not "child-molesters", "pedophile's" or perverts" have all been bucketed into one massive Registry and must endure a lifetime of shame.

The Sex Offender Registries are extremely costly both financial and to the families of the registered. Contrary to popular belief among the Legislators there is indeed hardship related to being listed on a Sex Offender Registry.

The lives being destroyed are not just the “registered” but their spouse, their children and every family member sharing their name and address.
But, most people will only listen to Nancy Grace and not the TRUE facts! And then there is always the troll that has to speak when they do not understand any of the laws or the facts and just want to name call. LOL No common ground!

Thats where the American people step in and tell our congressman and women it's needs to be reworked. That their is serious flaw with it. They have jobs because we put them their to work for us.

Forgiven the first time???? You are an idiot. Pedophiles are sick individuals and if there is a first time, there will definitely be a second, third, etc.
Kill em all.

It's okay to be confused...you show a proclivity for it.

I am speaking of first time offenders of many so called sexual crimes, Pedophiles are a different kind of sex-offender and are attracted to pre-puberty children ,(to make it simple for you, ones with no hair ) I am speaking of the ones Boyfriend / Girlfriend, Older women with younger teenage boyfriends, or older young men with younger girlfriends.

Not about a predator or child rapist .

Are Americans aware that a VERY large number of Registered Sex Offenders have never touched or raped anyone, let alone a child? But guilt by association on the Sex Offender Registry labels them all as a “pervert” a “pedophile” and a “predator” for life.

Thats part of the problem, the American people are fooled into thinking all sex offenses are about a stranger in the bushes, and our congressman like it that way.

But it is not these laws, there are many that are tearing america apart. Look at how well congress has taken care of our money!

You know I used to be very anti-sex offender. Then when in college, open minded students shut me up & opened my mind as well! Of course then a close friend of mine is considered a violent sex offender. He slept with someone at a party who was underage (he was not aware of this).

It's funny how when this affects someone you care for your point of view changes and when you really research the laws that changes your mind!

The problem in with a lot of Americans is that they are closed minded and ignorant of this. The truth is that most so called sex offender are victims of situations. Let take the kid who is 18 and gets caught with a 17 or a 16 year old. Just teenage love right. No he is listed as a sex offender or a pedophile. How about the man that is accused but never proven to be a sex offender. It still stays in his record that he was accused of being a sex offender.

It doesn't matter what the offense is we mark them people in our minds. Not know that our judicial system is leading us a stray. That plenty of good people have been drug through the mud because of this. It's sad when you think about because how many drug dealer got to register with the law and neighborhood that they we once arrested for drugs. Think of all the other people that do crimes that we don't have a registry on.

It is very apparent that you have a open mind and do not let others tell you how to think, I would assume you research, which is why you see the truth .

I just dislike what is being done to so many people and their family’s and yes you are right about a person accused of a crime they did not commit. And stop sending all of our young men and women to jail, because they thought they were in love.
You know it is kind of funny, Elvis would have been a sex-offender also!

I think Americans like to shame someone, it distracts them from their own problems and the politicians really love the fear because it gets them re-elected.

Why do they not just make a DUI Registry, or like you said a Drug registry, or Shoplifting, you get the drift, WHY because to many of our elected officials would be on these!

I believe that there is a fundamental constitutional right to distinguish between first time non-violent sex offenders with no recidivist criminal history and those sex offenders convicted of violent crimes, or have been convicted as sexual violent predators.

Most states have a provision in their respective statutes that first time offenders are given a true and fundamental chance to rehabilitate and integrate themselves back into mainstream society, with full reinstatement of their constitutional rights, privileges, benefits and immunities.

We must promote lobbyists and create a National Organization for the purpose of sending representatives during congressional hearings or senate hearing (State and Federal) to express the opposition against such selective, arbitrary, pretextual and oppression mode of operation.

But this is JMO of a very touchy subject.
