It would be heplful if the offense designations were listed as well as if they were married to the victim or knew the victim or the age of the victim. There are many types of offenders. Jerks who rape their wives or girlfriends are less likely to take my 8 year old than a child molester!

I can't belive some women are so sick that they get a person so drunk and strung out on drugs this person does not know what is going on and has her thirteen yr.old daughter messing with this man and then has him sent up for it.
i think that if a parent was on drugs or drinking,and there child gets hurt,they should be punished to some degree for what they did to contribute to the problem,and lets not just say women alot of men have did the same thing it dosent matter who,but what kind of punishment they got
if you have to drink or do drugs make sure you child is safe with someone who can watch over them,stop blameing the drugs and drink,it was you who allowed this to happen to your child
the sex offenders registrys should always show a picture,if they pefered male or female or both,the age of the victims,how many times they have been arrested and when was the last time they were arrested,address,and if the are current in the registry,and most of all they should say if they are repeat offenders

The website must list whether or not the offenses are against children. Should we not forget the 18 year old who have sex with a 16 year old and are forever listed as a pervert. Not every person on the list is a child molester!

why cant you have a site that shows sex offenders in your area without having to pay for it
Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on November 27, 2005 at 05:58 pm
For those saying this website should say whether or not the animals name on this page molested a child or not.. it should be obivious that he /she did that is why it made it here... and without pictures of these animals our children are at risk...

I agree with the comments about the need we all have to see WHAT exactly the sex crime is and against child/spouse/etc. I think that being able to view these sorts of things online is an invaluable tool for parents. And for those of you who don't know www.mapsexoffenders.com is the best site I have seen- it maps your house, school, job... then shows you on the map where any sex offenders live and all of their stats- including a picture!!! (I'd also cross-reference any list you find with the one provided by your state government website, to make sure they are all-inclusive! These are totally free sites, people! You don't need to even register or "join" to view anything!

The problem with the mi psor is that it is too broad, Just because someone is on the psor does not mean they endangered a child, a person can be put on here for taking a leak in the woods or whatever. Or a person can be convicted because a child said this person touched me, and not even need any evidence,
Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on February 12, 2006 at 04:21 pm
I feel the site is very helpful and informing but also not pin pointing the at risk people (ENDANGERING) like for instance there is sex offenders on this site who have been convected for consentual sex and now are labeled and registered as a sex offender from the age of 17 to 43. Then there are people who rape or molested their children and/or children and you can not decipher the difference. Labeling the none (HARD CRIME) offenders ruines their career,soical life,reputation and self esteem. Murders are released to the public and from there crime with no stipulations and sex offenders are released from the penatentary but not from the crime. Not saying sex offenders are ok but rapist and molesters should be labeled, nothing like the consentual sex offender. CONSENTUAL SEX IS NOT FORCED!
Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on March 02, 2006 at 06:03 pm
Great service to Michigan residents. NOW lets get the same list for murders. Ask your chief of police how many live in your area. You will be shocked. After serving their time, they should have their pics on the net too! Contact your State Representative and lets get the ball rolling.
Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on March 10, 2006 at 09:02 pm
I would like to know exactly why a person is on the list. For example, a person I would like to hire for yard work at my home is on the list. I want to know why. There's a big difference between pedophilia and statutory rape, and they are both on the list. How can I find out why he is on the list. Thank you.
Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on April 18, 2006 at 10:00 pm
yes that would be helpful to know exactly what the crime was , (for example a 18 yr old having sex with his 16 yr old girlfriend ) and parents got mad, reported it, or is he a 30 yr old raping 10 yr olds? Also i agree that it would be a great idea to get a "registered murderer list" going too , keep up the good work
Posted by: geroge (not registered) on May 20, 2006 at 01:46 pm
i belive that it would be helpful if you told what the person did so that we could know what they do to people it is our right as the public to know this kindda stuff and so that we can keep our kids safe for these people
Posted by: mother of 3 (not registered) on May 24, 2006 at 01:48 pm
When you have childre, you have to assume EVERYONE is a sex offender and will hurt your children. That is the only way to keep them safe.

I was convicted of csc3rd. I had just graduated high school when this happened, and I ripped from college and thrown jail. About two years earlier I taped my girl friend and I having sex. We were both under 18 @ the time, and when my so called friends who I showed it to teased the girl about it. She asked the cops what she should do. Well geuss who decided to pick up the case and prosecute? It didn't bother me too much when I was younger, but now I 'm getting to an age where it's all I think about. I can't get a job, apt., or go to certain colleges because of it. I"m no pedefile and I"m not rapest. I was young and I wanted to prove to my friends that I was having sex and that I was cool too. There should somthing within the law that provides hep or a way off the list. My whole life is ruined and theres nothing that I know that I can do about it. Any suggestions?
Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on June 07, 2006 at 09:00 pm
What i have been looking for is a code that i can put on a website that will show an interactive map of all the sex offenders in a persons area. That would be very helpful.
Posted by: Derick (not registered) on July 01, 2006 at 06:47 am
I agree that information about the crimes should be as specific as possible. "Sex offender" is a blanket term for multiple things. I'm willing to bet that most everyone has taken a leak in a public place. Well, had you gotten caught, you'd be on here. So think about it from both ends.

when the kids are underage ,do they have to register publicly when they turn 18
Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on September 18, 2006 at 11:11 pm
I belive the children are the future and we should secure our future and to do that we should be given all information about the child preditor so we can know really protect our children with all the ability and love we have and it would be prepared and not caught off gaurd at anytime. We need to go to the extreme of protection for our KIDS!
Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on September 28, 2006 at 11:14 pm
someone else asked why should we have to pay to see how many sex offenders there are in our area? I agree, we pay for child care to take good care of our children, we pay for all the safe toys and car seats. Everything that we need to keep our children safe we have to pay for. So, I don't think we should have to pay for what someone else did just to help protect our children.
Posted by: conniebrooks on September 30, 2006 at 02:14 am
This is for the guy who posted he taped him and his girlfriend while they were both underage. You can appeal to the courts to get the charge expunged from your record. It would take a little money for an attorney but well worth it in the long run. Raw deals happen that is why the courts have appeals, expungements, clemency, etc.
Posted by: conniebrooks on September 30, 2006 at 03:12 am
When I was 12 years old I was one of these children you all speak of whose life was ruined by a sex offender. I am a mother today , a grandmother and have done quite well for myself and my child. My perpetrator was a law official of all people! a person that children are taught to trust and believe they are good. I have lived with this for 32 years and I can still remember it just as if it happened yesterday, the doors closing, the room darkening, ............................... You know we have to come to peace within ourselves to live in peace, listen to the rage in these posts and most of you were not even violated or even had a loved one violated. and to the ones who were violated or have had loved ones violated I too was angry, ashamed, thought I had done something to bring this on myself and here I was only 12. It took me running away from home because it happened just across the street from where I lived and I knew my mom could not afford to move on what little she made and EVERYTIME! EVERYTIME I walked out my front door I relived it over and over again. I ran and ran and ran, this went on until I finally got pregnant so I could marry to get away. Yeah I know most you guys are saying "Dumb broad why didn't you just tell someone" Well guys I was to ashamed!! Of what I don't know you just are and all you want to do is RUN! It is kind of like that first bath you just can't get clean enough you scrub and scrub and soak and soak and when you get out you want to get back in again who knows why you just do! So I have been there and touched rock bottom. I had to reach deep within over the years, to heal and to find this inner peace and if you don't it will consume you! People can change, who are we to condem or judge? I would think that I of all would have a moral and ethical reason to condemn these men and women but I don't. I had one 1 perpetrator, as long as I know where he is and what he isn't doing keeps me at peace. I could lash out at them all but I don't know these people or thier charges or the circumstances leading up to the charges, just like one guy said takin a pee on a side road nowadays can land you on this registry. Everyone has an obligation to thier children to be concerned, and informed but lets do it with an open mind, these are and I do say ARE people to and if we judge to harshly the good lord may have a plan for us too once we go to meet him.
Posted by: conniebrooks on September 30, 2006 at 03:43 am
Well guess I might as well wear my welcome out and post to the "mother who assumes all people are child molesters in order to protect her children" I have heard it all and, I take that quite offensive and I am surely glad that you are not my next door nieghbor!!! Do you realize what you are doing to your children? If you truly are raising them this way! You know someone who causes thier children to develop such a paranoia could possibly cause thier children to develop an obsession with pedephilia. Maybe you should put all your ducks in a row before you call it.

Posted by: conniebrooks on October 09, 2006 at 05:16 pm
This is for Jessica... How old is your husband now? Is he a lifetime registrar? Have you talked with an attorney about an expungement? But first and foremost has he been in any trouble since this charge? If he has an expungement is not likely. I feel for you and your children and hope this has helped in some way, it may cost some money but well worth it in the end. Good luck and keep your head high hopefully some changes are on the way!

I know a man that has children living in Michigan that has served time in another state for indecent liberty of a minor after vio/pro for the same. I've not spoke to him after on tape he admitted molesting my daughters, 1st age 8 he was 11 claimed it was her idea, 2nd age 12 him 17 this he said was because she was a perfect target as no one would believe her as she had been known to tell lies. Also said he'd give his kids pot as he was afraid of what they might get on the street! Who do you contact or what do you do with people like this. Obviously, he has no regard for the law, his own children anyone or anything in life except his own pleasure, forgot to mention his own daughter was molested in her own bed sleeping but the guy had a mask on, yes they were still married at the time.

People get caught up in the SOR need to understand 2 things: Sex offenders who complete therapy successfuly have the lowest recidivism rate of all felons. In addition the vast majority of all sex offenses are committed by someone the victim trusts not a stranger (76%). A way needs to be found to protect kids not from the stranger behind the bush but rather dad, uncle bill, mom, big brother or sister ect. Think about it.
Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on December 26, 2006 at 09:55 am
I think it is very unfair for EVERY person to be listed on the registry. Every person on there is not a sick and/or twisted pervert, or ever has been. I think it's time for someone, somewhere to have guts enough to stand up and make it fair for EVERYONE!
Posted by: UseUrHeadNotUrMouse (not registered) on January 18, 2007 at 02:56 pm
First let me clear up two of the MOST common misconceptions of the Sex Offenders Registration Act. 1. Urinating in public is NOT a registerable offense, most of the time it’s a city ordinance. Indecent exposure IS a registerable offense but requires 3 CONVICTIONS. Do you know what that means??? That means you are INAPPROPRIATELY exposing yourself and get CONVICTED 3 separate times which means you have a serious problem. 2. Sex offender does NOT equal child molester. Simply because someone is on the MIPSOR doesn’t mean they are a threat to your child. Why doesn’t the State differentiate? Simple. How can you judge the dangerousness of a sex offender?! You can have a child molester who completely reforms but has to live with that label and you can have a grouper that escalates to a child molester but is never convicted. So now you have someone suing the state because the website said “not dangerous” but he’s murdered and raped her little girl. So who exactly is a label serving and who is it hurting, there’s arguments for and against both sides so why not give the public the information to educate themselves. You want more information buy a police report, go to the court where they were convicted, take some initiative find out more information.
Now I wouldn’t go as far as to say “you have to assume EVERYONE is a sex offender” but the MIPSOR is only people whose crime was reported AND convicted. What about the people who are never reported or the case is too weak for a conviction or the victim won’t cooperate because he/she is so traumatized already?? You people with children need to raise them with a strong head on their shoulders, not pictures of sex offenders in their pockets.

I think the nature of the offence should determine how long your on the registry or if your put on there at all people dont relize just because your resistered doesnt mean your a threat

In 2004 I started seeing a change in my son, I told my husband and some friends that I was going to make a appointment with a consular to find out why. After I made the appointment I was called by our friend and he said he needed to talk to me and his wife, we got together and he started to confess he said one day my son came up to him and started asking him questions about sex, so he started to show my son the differences (long story short) he said it happened 3 times. I first went to the FIA and reported it, but because the man was not a family member who did it there was nothing they could do, so I then went to the police station and made the reported, they talked to everybody except the man who did it, he got a attorney he never once was brought in for questioning or anything, the case started in July 04 case was closed October 04, my son was still going to consoling a year later and to this day he is still effected by what this man has done to him.
After all this the man got a divorce fought for full custody of his youngest daughter and still continue working at a SCHOOL as a custodian has keys to every door, closet can attend the school at any time.
My son had turned 7 not to long before this all came out.
I think there are many more names that belong on this list.

This is in reply to comments made by useurheadnoturmouse. It seems to me that you seem a little suspicious. You put forth an aggressive comment. This makes me think you are defending or justifying. Are you currently dating or married to a sexual offender? Are you trying to make a point here or are you trying to make yourself feel better? As far as your comment about pedifiles being reformed. This does not happen. Try calling your psyciatrist, I am sure you have one. Maybe he or she will read to you from the physicians mental health desk reference book. The rehabilitation rate of a pedifile is nearly zero, zilch,zip,nada. Why dont you take up a hobby instead of spending your time trying to make the lowest form of life (the pedifile) out to be any better than what they are. As far as your statement about a sex offender not being a child molester, maybe their not. They are however sick criminals. They are incapable of having healthy sex with a partner. They take what they want from who they want. A place on the wall of shame next to the child molester is in order. Get a life.

To march 19th. Something is not right. Either your story is wrong...or, your son has been done an injustice. The accusation of sexual abuse should be investigated. This individual will hit again if he gets away with such abuse. I suggest you speak to other authorities in the Dept of Human Services or the police department. I say this as a former offender: If your child was abused, they will act. If his story doesn't wash? Then counselling is needed for him, as charges of this type destroy lives when such charges are false.

I live in a place where all the houses are close together. I just found out that my neighbor has been exposing himself to the little girls in the neighborhood from his own yard. The police were called after one parent witnessed it and he was arrested. To my disgust and hurt I found out that my daughter had also been subjected to this pervert as she played on the sidewalk and in her own yard. I filed a police report but he is only being charged with public indecency. Isn't there a harsher charge considering that these were8 year old little girls? The worst part is that there was a rumor in our neighborhood that he had molested a little girl with mental issues but her grandparents(she lived with them) decided not to press charges and to send her away for her benefit. Is there anything else I can do to get him out of our neighborhood or to pay a higher price for the crime?
Posted by: Against the registry of SEX Of (not registered) on May 09, 2007 at 01:07 pm
I am not happy with the sex offender law - Who are we to say a person is a sex offender. America never defined what sexual harrassment is. If a person tells me that I have a nice dress, that is not sexual harrassment. what relly is sexual harrassment. no one really knows how to define it. If someone says you look good is that sexual harrassment. We always want to through the man in jail - How about some of these women and young girls they wear the revealing clothes to be noticed.
We don' have murders registering on a list rapist either or any other type of crime that people. Thay have a chance to come back out into society and do well give these people a chance. If a person was not raped and and it was consunsual that person should not have to register on any sex offender list.
If a person is not PREYing on young people and young bOYS then they should NOT I repeat THEY should not have to register for a sex offender registry.
If we have tem to register then all of Amerca needs to register we all have problems with one way of the other.
This is a LAW that need to be changed IMMEDIATELY. Let's get together to make some changes.
If a person has done their time for an offense why should we still make it hard for them when they come back out into society.
If a person does something more that once we need to get them some type of help not put every one in JAIL. Give people a chance. The only one who can judge any one is GOD Not us as Americans.
It's easy for someone aganist the reg... for Sex Offenders to make a remark like that. But as a parent of having a child (Young) molested, I think the Laws are not harsh enough on these offenders. Not everyone should be labled a offender because some of the ages are old enough to know what they are doing I agree on, or I am madd therefore I press charges, etc... it effects those whom are telling the truth, and the Laws from changeing. I am not sure why people think the way you do? or make comments as such, but unless you walk in someones shoes who had this happen, or know someone you really love who had this happen sometimes its better not to comment, unless you fully understand the persons situation with a offender, and how they were offended.

AT MY WEDDING HIS EX JUMPED UP AND SCREAMED IT OUT. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE ARE NOT MARRIED BUT I DO ALLOW VISITATION IN MY PRESENCE ONLY. HE HAS 3 OTHER KIDS. THE PERSON WAS 16 AND HE WAS 18 ON THE DAY THEY HAD SEX. I FOUND THIS OUT 2 WEEKS AGO. AND I NOW REGERT I DID NOT MARRY HIM. I SHOULD OF ASKED QUESTIONS BUT THAT WORD SEX OFFENDER HIT ME WRONG. WE ARE FRIENDS NOW WORKING THINGS OUT. BUT FOR YEARS I WOULD NOT TAKE CALLS, LETTERS OR EXPLAINS. I ORDERED A HIS RECORDS FOR $49.95 AND KNOW THE TRUTH NOW.
I think your wounderfull for having a baby, instead of not one, For two I would not even tell her until she is fully able to understand the situation that made you leave her father, just let her know she is loved very much by both but sometimes things in life happen to where she will understand. You could also get her into therpy and have them help you through this. Good Luck. Tammy (Hexgirl)

My husband has a CSC charge. Years ago he was arrested for drinking and driving. The lady he was with slapped him with a CSC charge on his daughter. In which he took two lie detector tests and passed. However because he could not read or right and him being about 26 at the time and had an appointed attorny she encourage him to take a plea bargain or he would be put away for life. In which he did. To make a long story short he ended up doing eight years in prison. And now that he is out we plan on taking it back to court and putting the exgirlfriend and the child on the stand to fight this to clear his name. Anyways, my question is.. my exhusband found out that my new husband has a CSC charge. Because we haven't taken it back to court yet my ex is trying to take my kids from me. Does he have a case? Could he really do that and win? Please help me with this question and give me any legal advice as well.

Well folks.. I would like to congratulate the women on having the child and giving her a chance at life, even though the father made a horrible life changing decision for himself. He affected you and her, with out even thinking about it at the time of his actions I am sure. I am currently a registered offender. I know the girl whom accussed me we had past sexual relations, we were at a party drinking and having fun one thing led to another. Now here I seat, after pleading NOLO Contender. I did this because I am not guilty of the crime, but for the fear of not getting a fair trail from a "jury of my peers". I have a son whom is 7yrs old now, same name as me he is a junior. Never in a million years did I know what it meant to be an offender until I ended up one. There are a lot of flaws in the system which was designed to protect children from child molesters. This list no longer does that, it has lost its credibility. Believe me even as a registered offender I understand the importance of something like this, but it needs to do what it was set up for. Not to mention I agree with an above post that brought into question sexual harrasment, murders, drug dealers and such.. How come they do not have to register on anything. Drug dealers hurt children, murders could hurt you or I even or children, sexual harrasment makes people feel unsafe, or insucure. America we have become to politcally correct and we are allowing ourselves to be blinded by false securities!!! What happen to neighbors knowing neighbors, and watching out for each other, no list can protect us like we can protect ourselves by knowing our area and knowing the people in our area! I personally am working on writing a book about the day my life changed, i was 24 the girl was 19. We need to change the laws, and get it right! Sorry I rambled, but I have so much to say.
If the girl was 19, and you were 24, should'nt she be of legal age? Not to minshone at that age she is old enough to make her own choices towards sexual intercourse, and whom with. I think if your telling the truth the State really fu** up. Tammy (Hexgirl)

I would just like to agree with the person who said they think there should be a lot more names on the list. I have seen a man I was molested by when I was 5 babysitting other little girls and I am now 17. He got off free because I was too young, the police said, to be credible, although they never really tried. Now every time I see him around with those little girls he babysits I am filled with horror because I know what happened to me either already has or probably will happen to them and there is nothing I can do about it. Also a certain relative in my life lets her daughters spend time with another uncaught sex offender and she knows he is this. She talks about how sick he is, yet lets her daughters spend time with him. I don't understand.
me neither. Find someone you can talk to about this...I think if you could find an impartial adult to help you with this issue, you might start the ball in motion to have the state human seervices or police, question the other girls involved without him around. If they claim to have been molested, possibly a case could be started. Hexgirl may have some ideas on this also...if she sees your post.

I disgree with the fact that there should be a lot more names on the SOR. In fact I bet if you did your homework you would find out that about 35% of the names on there do not belong. Offenders whom have received treatment are like 83% less likely to offend again. What needs to happen is offenders need to be put on there if there case is off child molestion so anyone under 16. I say 16 because in michigan that is the legal age of consent. However, if the person is 16 to 18 and is molested or raped. It need to be noted how old the victim was. Folks, we need to use the SOR for what it is truely for! Not just because a guy or girl pissed in public, we have all done that at some point in our lives. People should not be on the SOR for beating up their husband or wife, those are not sex crimes, but they are on there too. Which means they are getting looked at as Sexual Predators. The SOR has lost its credibilty, we are not protecting our children, we are just giving ourselves a false sense of security.

I don't think they should be shot, i just think they should be put in a cell with the biggest black dude and get done to them what they did to the other people. why give them the satisfaction of being shot thats to quick!
Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on July 13, 2007 at 05:01 am
to those who think that 35% of the people shouldn't be on the list for whatever reason,and that 83% that can be fixed... what statictics are you going by i dont want to give them he chance because if you cant get a woman willing you must be at home waking off anf you must not have children you moron!!!!
There is really nothing that can be done since he got off free. Now that you are old enough and fear for the children he babysits for that is a normal responce due to what happened to you. It's sadd but unless the children he babysits for tell if their is something going on, there again there is not enough to do nothing about, and even then if there is no physial evd... and the storys are not strong it will be dropped as well. Hopefully for there sack, and others what happened to you by this person will not happen to them. I would seek someone to talk to on a proff. leval, it might do you some good, and help you start to heal from the damage that was done to you by this person, and help you become a survior, instead of feeling like a vic... I wish you the best of luck, Tammy (HexGirl)

My son was raised in a nice home with a nice family. He is very intelligent and a very likeable person. He was tormented in school because he was "different". He was always smarter than most kids so they had nothing in common with him. These are not excuses only sharing facts. To our devastation, he was arrested for child porn on his computer. This type of crime is totally davasting to a mother especially. We do the best with our children that we can. I believe these people need intense therapy rather than many long years in prison. He felt relief to have been caught.He knows he has to spend many years in prison. He accepts that and is trying to make the best of it. Unfortunately, The family of both victims and perpetrators suffer greatly . He was given too many years and it is only going to cause resentment after awhile. By the way, he is getting no therapy from any source in prison. When he is released one day, he should be able to come out of prison and build a new life for himself.He for one I can say has learned the greatest mistake in his life. He is so remorseful and feels he would never repeat his actions again. Why don't these people get the help they need ? A list is not going to change anything. If a person is going to commit a crime, they are going to do it regardless . I wonder if a murderer lives next to me. I wonder if the person I do business with is a crook. Shouldn't all the names be listed for all crimes? To God, sin is sin. It is the nature of the offense that makes it so sickning to all of us. I know my son better than anyone and he is a wonderful person. Something got him to the choice he made. He was making very good money at a very good job. Had a great girlfriend. Had people who love him. Our family had so much support from others who did not judge because anyone with any sense knows that horrible things happen to good people. Victims and perpetrators as well. Its a sad world we live in. We are all subjected to a lot of negative and immoral sex, violence and undesireable content on our tv's and movies etc. Each generation becomes more and more liberal as time goes by. Anything goes yet we wonder why bad things happen. Think about it. I as a mother will never be able to have christmas dinner with my son again. I will be dead before he gets out. I have been sentenced as well.

I saw a photo of someone I know on the sex offender register. This person was convicted in 2 different names at two diffferent times. Do sex offenders all use false names? And false birthdates? If this is common what good is the sex offenders registry. The registry should be checked.
Some offenders use a false address and live in another county. When an offender registers is he or she really living in that house? How would any one know?

life is hard when a young lady lie about her age, and tell the whole world she had sex with me, and all i did was tell the truth when her parents and the police wanted to know what was going on, now i place myself on this list that has made my life flip upside down, at times i feel strong and keep my head up but i feel that will not last long.
life is hard when a young lady can lie about her age and tell the whole world she had sex with me, life is also hard when the girl parents and the police want to know what was going on, the truth did not set me free it almost ruined my life right now i am still strong becasue of family and friends but with out them i am so hopeless, this sex law need to be change, as we all know some people need to be on the list if it is use right but for those that were trapped onto the list like myself stay strong becasue one day just one day the sun will shine on us again

Posted by: Oldtimer on September 15, 2007 at 11:51 am
Dear Confused: Unless the law has been changed, you will find it as "Public Act 127, of 2005"
I suggest you go to www.michigan.gov and do a search for such information.
And....I do hope that you realize that knowing a sex offender lives two houses down has no connection to your kids being safe. Only their knowledge and understanding of this issue can help them be safe. (IMHO)

I think no matter how many times or age of the victims should have no impact on the persons bond or time in prison, and they should not be aloud out on bond. If the prosecutors office find reason to issue a warrent for arrest then that means the rapest is a risk to everyone. and if they do get bond then atleast after they are found gulty by a jury then they should go to jail at that time not be released because they showed up for all the court dates. when they are found gulty they are gulty and should have to go to jail right then until sentencing.

My boyfriend was charged with third degree crm sex conduct and did 10 months in jail as well as having three years of probation. He was 19 years old, met a girl at an 18 and up club, slept with her that night and later was called by the police and told she was 15. And now he has to live with this for the next 25 years. any suggestions as to getting off the registry in michigan?

I understand people who are worried about child molesters.Sometimes people make mistakes or just plan out get a raw deal.Many people just want attention for some reason and stretch the truth about being assaulted.I think if all you do is sit around checking for offenders that have served there time and are trying to get on with there life,you should definintly get your own.

i think the year the crime was committed should be posted. Also if the crime was committed as a youth under 12 and no reoccurrence of the crime is committed by the time they turn 21 they should not be posted on this site. just one little incident can ruin a childs live for good.

Children Forced to Register: Sorry to say: If I've got it right, children will soon have to register for life under the new Adam Walsh Law. It appears that the saints in congress believe this is ok and won't be punishment for the child. Sick thinking in my opinion, but it keeps us from focusing on the congress, eh?

All the people that have the comments of a sex offender trying to get on with their life, their should be no such thing. The laws protect them more than the children. I personally have a child who was molested and You people have no idea what she went through she is a hero and the man who did this should stay in jail forever at least he will never hurt another child again!! Think before you write
Think before you write? I agree your daughter is a victim and that who ever did that to her should be locked away for a long time. But i know for a fact that that not everyone needs to be on that registry. Don't get me wrong. I fully agrre with the registry. But there are a few people that fell through the cracks and got screwed. Did you know that 15% of people in prison are truelly not guilty! That 10% of people on death row never did anything wrong. And are later sent free with an apolgy. So think before you speak, please follow your own advice! And again, i am truelly sorry about your your child.

I was a successful and highly acclaimed nurse for 25 years. My reputation was destroyed by a mentally ill patient who accused me of having sex with him I was convicted of CSC 4th degree, and my nursing license was revoked. I am not in any way a sexual predator, or a menace to children, but i must register as a sex offender foe the next 25 years. Where is the justice?
Posted by: Lor a Michigan Mom (not registered) on January 03, 2008 at 03:42 pm
It seems to me that the sheer volume of names and faces on the registry with offenses from internet fantasies to actual rapes, from owning child pornography to exposing oneself, from teens having underage sex and the list of offenses goes on, only serves to dilute the real population of violent predators. I have not heard or read one story where the sex offender registry has saved anyone.
Its seems to me to be a huge waste of manpower and money to maintain, regulate and implement this registry that provides no real tangible benefit to potential victims. There are numerous men, women, teens and children, on the registry that made a stupid mistake and would not re-offend, even if they were not on a list. It’s this group of people that the registry destroys. Even an act, where there is no victim involved, evokes a life sentence. The registrant is shunned by society, doomed to a life of isolation, forced to live in the shadows, without a job, without a home, without a life. The registrant is left with no possibility to rectify the wrong. It creates a whole new subculture of human beings that get forced into committing other crimes just to survive. This might make you feel safe but not me.
The men and women that will harm you, that will re-offend, will not be stopped by simply placing their names and pictures on the list. They wont be stopped by monitoring or by your peeking out from behind your blinds to peer at your neighbors house because you saw their address on the list.
It seems to me that the only value of the registry is to create a false sense of security, to create nation wide fear and panic, and to create jobs and revenue for all those involved with the registry as enforcement officers, secretaries, web designers, etc. and a whole group of workers that provide service to the folks managing the registry, as janitors, food service, utilities, car maintenance, and the list goes on.
Someone needs to stop buying into the irrational fear crated by the registry and put an end to it. Contrary to some beliefs, all sex offenders are not the same and can be rehabilitated and re-introduced into society as good contributing members. Surely there is a solution that will work because this one is not.
Posted by: Oldtimer on January 03, 2008 at 04:51 pm
Well stated, LOR (IMHO) but those making money on all of this don't hear you. Besides, when you can put a portion of the population "down", it makes others feel superior. I think it was Nepoleon who said that when you create a class of citizens under different law within society, you create a new enemy. What can many of these folks do, but hide in the shadows and commit crime to survive? But...those in Washington play their fiddles.

i think that the registry is of more harm than help personally. i was charged of a csc when i was 15. now for the rest of my life it follows me. i wasnt even an adult yet and my girlfriends parents pressed charges. no one knows that though. as soon as you are on the list everyone asumes that you are a rapist. dont get me wrong. there are alot of rapists and pedafiles on here and people do need to know that. but what about those of us that just messed up once and are scarred for life?? there should be a line somewhere. mabe a hidden list for those of us that where juvinilles.

Posted by: Oldtimer on January 28, 2008 at 10:31 am
If he is an offender, (IMHO)the first thing I would suggest, is a private talk with your daughter to make sure he did not touch her inappropriately. Maybe she won't talk to you about it, but you might ask her school counsellor to converse with her.
Offenders must register their new address when moving. Local police will want to know if this was not done. Finally, victims often become victims again. Talk to someone who understands behavior to make sure you are not putting yourself into "victim" relationships.

People get on and look at the list and they start jugding people. I geuss people dont understand that not everybody on the list is bad. i think people on the list should be put in catogorys so that way people can see who is bad and who messed up or got set up. Then people might look at the list a little different. i just think alot of people discrimanate.

I have tried several times to find the list of sexual predators, or pedifiles if you will to protect my children and myself, since I am a single mom and I am as careful as I can be, but I think as parents we have every right to have access to pictures of these predators, for myself, & for my children and their friends....if we dont protect our children who the hell will, so I think it is only fair that you post each and everyone of the men and women that have committed anything, such as exposing themselves to the worse!!!! I have searched and searched and searched and there is nothing posted..it either cost money, or it comes up as error..please give me a site where I can go to, to protect us and our children from any harm, I could be living next door to one and not even know it, and where we we live it's full of children....so protect them, and tell me where can I go to find such a list, that the media always brings up, but when you go to the site it's not there!!!

I think that every state is too lax on these perverts. If a court convicts a person of any sexual offense, they should just be hung from the highest tree. There is no changing the act that they commited, and there is no healing their jacked up lives.

I think the sex offender registry is against civil rights! if someone is convicted of a sex crime and did their time/probation than they should not have their right of privacy taken away from them.
The registry should only be used for people that have been charge with more than one felony sex crime.

OK I WAS RAPED WHEN I WAS 13 BY A GUY THAT WASNT ALL THERE IN THE HEAD MY PARENT'S WANTED TO GO TO COURT AND FIGHT THE ONLY REASON I DIDNT FIGHT IS BECAUSE I PRETTY MUCH GOT TOLD BYE THE JUDGE THAT HE IS RETARTED AND WILL GET OFF SO I DIDNT FIGHT AND THAT I HATE MYSELF FOR BECAUSE HE HAS DONE THIS TO OTHER'S ..
NA: Keep in mind, that the incident WAS NOT YOUR FAULT. You were the minor and he the adult. (IMHO) In life, sh_t happens. Put it behind you and seek your future life and goals. If this person is still raping, maybe you need to have a heart to heart with a local cop. Sorry you were involved...but it is time to move on.
Posted by: Buttomfly on March 05, 2008 at 12:02 pm
TO NA: Don't go to talk to the police on your own. You will probably get nowhere. Go to a rape counseler at one of the rape crisis centers. They are not just for when the rape happens. They will walk you through counseling and will go report it with you. You need an advocate on your side, believe me, it doesn't always turn out like it should but at least that is your best path. Especially if it is like you say that he is still actively
abusing, the police will listen to the advocate and the adv. has all the connections to go farther with it if an officer will not listen. GOOD LUCK!

It's funny to read all the comments on this page from people that have now idea what is like to be the victim of the crime. I am on the other had a victim. When I was 8 yrs old my innocence was taking from me by the man my mother was dating. He confessed and was convicted. When I was 16 he wrote me a letter to tell me that I was now an adult and he wanted to talk to me, a violation of his conviction, he was to have no contact with me at all! I worry every day of my life for my daughter. I am so affraid that this may happen to her. I am now 28 yrs old and still have nightmares of my childhood. Before you decide to speak out on a subject that doesn't protain to you consider those who it does protain to. Ask a victim how often they think about it....I can tell you, not a day goes by that I don't think about what happened. I also check the internet daily to make sure he hasn't been released!!

My son is a registered sex offender now living in Georgia. The ypunglady he was accused of improperly touching ( 4th degree conduct). This happened 11 years ago. Marc had a car and was dating a young girl who accused him of fondling her. My son Marc has 2 young girls and a happy home life. Enough is enough! Take this status off of him.
O.K. SINCE SOMETIMES THE STATE REALLY DOES FALSE LABLE OFFENDERS ,FOR BOTH WILLING PARTIES, DUE TO MADD PARENTS, I CAN AGREE WITH SOMEONE NOT HAVING A LONG TERM LABLE OF A OFFENDER. BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD OF 4TH DEGREE CONDUCT, BUT ONLY OF A 4TH DEGREE OFFENDER, WHICH IN RETURN IS CALLED A PREDITOR. I DO KNOW EVEN THOUGH THE STATES, AND LAWS ARE DIFFRENT, AND VARY, I DO KNOW THAT TO BE LABLED A PREDITOR, TAKES ALOT OF PROFF, AND TIME OF INFORMATION, AND COURT DATES, EVEN PLEA AGREEMENTS, IF POSSIABLE. SO FOR THE STATE TO MISTAKE A LEVAL 4 PREDITOR, IS LESS LIKELY TO MESS UP ON THEIR JUDGEMENT OF HIS/HER NAME. 11 YEARS IS A LONG TIME, BUT IF IN FACT HE DID DO THIS, HE DOES NEED TO STAY LABLED THAT WAY, THINK OF IT THIS WAY, YES, HE IS LABLED, BUT HE IS OUT INTO OUR SOCIETY GETTING A SECOND CHANCE, IF AND FACT HE DID THIS, THE PERSON HE HURT, IS AND WILL BE A VIC... NO MATTER HOW MUCH OF A SURVIOR THEY ARE, AND THEY DO NOT GET A SECOND CHANCE, PLUS MEMORIES, THERPY, MEDS, WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE THE VIC... HAS BEEN THROUGH. THIS IS NO DIS-RESPECT TOWARDS YOUR SON, IF HE DID NOT DO THE CRIME, BUT IF IN FACT HE DID, HE DOES NEED THE NAME TO GO WITH IT. TAMMY RICH

I know of a pervert living in Michigan that molests boys, but has never been convicted. Another State pressed charges but his case was dismissed because my son wasn't there to testify. My son passed away due to suicide over this mess. It also happened to my other son only I wasn't going to lose him by testifying. This person admitted to police and myself .
I would love this person to be caught but many years have passed. I know he's living in New Buffalo, MI He preys on vulnerable women that have trouble raising their children and wants to help. I was just a very trustful person and at that time sexual predators weren't commonplace in the media as they are now. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN STREET SMART!
IMHO I think most research says that the offender that "has not been caught" oftentimes continues the offending behavior. This theory would lead me to believe that the person that offended your son, is still at it. If you know where he now resides, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find him re offending. Possibly a chat with the local authorities there might open their eyes to his behavior....assuming he is still offending.

I'm on here to see what offenders ore in my neigh borhood
Ok. And when you find them all, will you feel protected by the registry? Or, are you searching for some juicy gossip to spread around? The chances of having an offense against you or your children is greater from someone close to you or relative. Not from the person at the end of the road who is registered. The registry protects no one ,in reality.

A few months ago, I found out that my boyfriend (now ex) had been chatting with a 13 year old (undercover cop). I found this out when the cops arrived and told me that he was in jail. I do not understand this and feel very lost! I am thankful that it was an undercover cop and not an innocent victim. I have felt every feeling in the book and dont know how to deal with what happened to me. I am done with him but it has affected me vastly. Any advice?
(IMHO) First of all, you must realize that these were HIS actions and have nothing to do with you in that respect. You may feel confused to have a person with this problem so close to you, unknowing, but you should feel no guilt for "not knowing". Many offenders are quite clever at hiding their actions from others. Consider those that sexually offend within the family! If you are confused about this, still, I suggest you get some counselling so that you can "vent" your feelings and put them in the proper perspective. And then? Move on with living.

This is a great site that I found while looking for the Michigan Registry. It;s been really interesting reading the comments. I have to conclude though, that the people responsible for SOME of these laws are just as sick as the REAL perpetrators. Kids, and the actions of sexually precocious kids should never result in criminal prosecution. Sadly, at 13 my own daughter started experimenting and lying about her age, complete with phony ID, provided by her mother. Under the law, the men she tricked would have been in very undeserved trouble.

Why dont we make the for (lack of a better phrase) more dangerous offender wear a tether or tracking device the state has tracked at all times and if that device becomes unavailable then we should have a alert run across the screen like a amber alert. That way the area and others know he or she is on the prowl. How can we get this done?
I used to work in ohio.. and I went to a class on sexual offenders once that talked about sexual offenders getting pink license plates for their vehicles. Much like the DUI tags: yellow with red letters. Again, every state is different.
Bad idea. Why? What if the offender uses a business vehicle? What if the vehicle is owned by someone else? Registering is not punishment, the courts say...so what if a vehicle is scrached, burned, etc and it is owned by the bank? On and on. Seems to me, that you are trying to make those having trouble with finding a place to live and job...just a bit more difficult.
Oldtimer.. I agree with you. I dont really think they would come out with those plates anyway. I try to go to as many classes as I can sign up for in my career field, and it seems to me that there is a new idea tossed around every class. Good discussion though :).
