	Oregon needs to post all sex offenders on the internet. It is the easiest and fastest way to get information for those who use it.

	Oregon's prison system pecentage of Sex Offenders is 85%. Not only do they incarcerate thier own states sex offenders but they imoprt them from other states as well. Therefore it is even more inpairative that Oregon post a Statewide Registery of ALL known SEX OFFENDERS whether they are currently incarcerated or out on the streets.

Posted by: Oh come on (not registered) on October 13, 2005 at 04:38 pm
	Why do you need to be notified of SO's who are currently incarcerated? How can they hurt you when they are sitting in a jail cell?

	Maybe if you would show the faces of these people on the net we could protect our children. but we know who you are really trying to protect bunch of tree hugers

	i just looked online for about a half hour trying to find the registry, only to find that there isn't one online. but i did come across a page that told how much they got paid to have the registry. why couldn't they have put it online? too much trouble? they obviously don't care if we are safe.

	Er, do you mean a tree hugger? NOTE: the word has TWO g's...not one. Before you bash what you don't understand, try sounding a littel more erudite. Besides, it's much better to hug a tree with lust in your eye than a pre-pubescent human.

	"try sounding a littel more erudite" Before commenting on someone's spelling of 'hug(g)er' perhaps one should spell check their own work.

	Indiana is still cave dwelling in this regard. Michigan has their list online and you can search by zip code. Indiana needs to step up to the plate (they are paid for it) and provide information of PSOR's in your neigborhood. To me, Indiana is protecting the identity of the offenders, and the Attorny General needs pushing for the safety of the kids.

	Sometimes I feel like I'm deliberately being denied access to sex offender information in Oregon. I have young children, and this is important to me. Maybe if more people contacted their State and local governments regarding this, we could get something done

	There is one site that you can find Oregon sex offenders on, it is Publicdata.com and the sex registry information is absolutly free, no need to pay or register or anything. I hope this helps someone somewhere

my child attends a preschool in which a registered sex offender lives less than 1 block away from. It has come to my attention that they are not making him move because he is an informant for the local Police department! What about my childs safety? The community needs to be informed and action needs to be taken! Oregon along with every single state should have a registry for sex offenders! Its time as parents and citizens we take a stand and something gets done about it! I am contacting my local newspaper! Lincoln County offers a certain number of sex offenders on the website, but not all of the sex offenders are listed! I know I am not comfortable with my child attending a school where he could be in harms way, but why punish him by taking him out of a school that he loves because the LAW should be doing something about it!

	Thank you so much for the information from PublicData.com it was helpful for me. As for Indiana go to Access Indy and you should be able to find the information you are requesting.

I am sick of the sex offenders being able to go about like they never did anything wrong, they shouldn't be able to go so freely. I recently was in formed that the neighbor guy is a sex offender but he never got formally charged cuz he's mentally slow, this guy acts as normal as anyone else yet he got by with it. He works a full time job has a live in girlfriend and does everything that anyone else can do. What the heck is wrong with the system? This guy is really guilty, the proof was amazing, yet he got off! We have three children and theres many more in our neighborhood including a daycare and bus stop(at the opposite corner from his house). I dont feel that he should be able to live here, but his p.o. doesnt do anything about it even after he says that watching kids on tv get him excited. But since he has the girlfriend that makes it safer for our children, thats b.s. Our neighbors have been trying to get him out of here they dont feel safe! Our own children can't even go outside and be safe in there own yard cuz of him, thats wrong! WHEN DID THE SYSTEM GET SO MESSED UP SO THE OFFENDERS RIGHTS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN POTENTIAL VICTIMS!!!!!

I am extremely upset at the fact more is not being done by local police officials to inform communitites of sex offenders in our midst. There are alot of people who are uniformed as to who is living around us and uninformed about how to obtain sex offense registry information. i just found out that there is a child molester living a few houses away from mine. I will make it my business to inform every single household on my street and surrounding neighborhood. I am the mother of 2 little girls and I would only hope there are people out there who feel they would do the same. It is the community's right to be informed. These sex offenders have no rights when it comes to our children.

Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on December 19, 2005 at 01:33 pm
	Truly, this is an atrocity. This is what happens when liberals run the show. Sex offenders give up all rights when they violate, rape and molest children and women. The citizens deserve access to this information via the internet.

	why is it that lincoln county and the state of oregon cannot keep up on the sex offenders. i had a sexual preditor living next to me for over a year who was not registered at that address. i contacted o.s.p. and they said he lived somewhere else. it's b.s. . he is now registered at the address but no notification to the community was given, not that is b.s...

	I'm looking for that website-you know the one, the one to protect children! I've tried everything I could think of but was unable. You know the one that has a picture and adress of everyone who drinks at bars and hops in thier car. Then drives their 1 or 2 ton vehicle just inches from my children. I'm pretty sure I seen your picture on it.

Let's get down to brass tacts. 1 out of 6 boys and 3 out of 10 girls are abuse before they reach the age of 18 - thats approx 1/3 of the population of the United States to help you more that is over 100,000,000 people abuse ( the figure is more than likley higher since many don't report) If anyone thinks a "website" is the answer, well then the media has done its job. It is of course true some sex offenders need to not only go to jail but stay in prison under civil commitment. Liste, if you want to protect children from abuse its not from registered sex offenders. It is at home, at work, at school. Look around you or in the mirror that is where you will find people who abuse children. When I was a social worker for CPS w e would look first at the ones yelling and pointing the most. Let's get real. It is a problem which can be adressed at the mental health level first. Then the legal system. The numbers are climbing and have been. Websites are just a way of weaking the constitution. Send your time and letters to your senators, congressmen. Putting your finger in the hole of the dike is what in essence you are doing. Mental health IS the awnser. Who was who said the masses are asses. I wonder how we will be viewed by our great-grandchildren, oh wait, they'll be in prison because they "might" abuse a child in the "future"--no, that could never happen-right?

This past summer I too was outraged that I did not have access to see sex offenders that may live close to my daughter who was attending college in Eugene. I contact MANY State Representatives. The only one who contacted me back was Jerry Krummel. Representative Krummel made this issue one of his priority bills and after much hard work by himself and his Chief of Staff Dawn Phillips the bill passed both the House and Senate. It was signed in to law in October and will be active in July of 2006. Please keep in mind that this website will only post those most likely to re-offend and not all sexual predators. 500 of the 11,000 we currently have in Oregon. It is a great starting place but the education must begin at home and often. I have seen the devastation these predators can do to a life. I have had family members who were affected. I firmly believe once someone has violated a child or raped a woman they lose all rights to privacy. It is my hope with this bill that a child will be saved and we as Oregonians will act responsibly when we find a violator in our neighborhoods. Do not give those that oppose this website (there are many) any ammunition to have it taken down.

	don't you think it would be good idea to have online sex offender registry for those who register and for those who don't register? I know for a fact that there are people who haven't registered and those names should be given to the public. you need to look out for community, not the offenders.

I am sickened by this, it should a be federal law that requires EVERY state to maintain an online register. I just found online in Colorado that I have a sex offender in my apartment building, this makes me think twice about letting my daughter outside alone and what I need to warn her about, and possibly moving. It's about educating people and our kids about strangers and what to look for in sex offenders. WAKE UP OREGON!

Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on February 10, 2006 at 10:10 am
	Oregon should maintain a registry. My father sexually molested me for seven years until I finally got away from him. His picture should be posted to warn others and should be available for other important reasons. Someone definately needs to get on top of this.

Posted by: concerned mom (not registered) on February 12, 2006 at 12:48 pm
	if I know a man returned to my community after spending several years in prison for molesting children, how would I recognize him? I have a right to protect my children by making them aware of the 'appearance' of a sex offender. He's a nice man? His 'nice guy' facade cost a child greatly. And tell me again the recidivism rate for sex offenders!

One of the earlier comments (Dec 7, 2005) says: "extremely upset at the fact more is not being done by local police officials to inform communitites of sex offenders in our midst" The fact is, even the local police officers are not always notified when a sexual offender moves into the city. I should know. I am a police officer for a small department. As of right now, the Oregon State Police houses the records for sexual offenders. They are the ones, along with the state legislature, that needs to be pushed to do more.

Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on February 28, 2006 at 01:55 pm

Every state should have an updated website that lists sexual offenders; name, age, and address. If a offender is not regisering, as they are legally obligated, their information should be posted and listed as out of compliance so if a person should find themselves living near that offender they can contact law enforcement. Once a person commits a horrendous crime such as sexual abuse of a child you should no longer be allowed to live in a society as if you never destroyed the life of another. As for time served, as some would argue when a offender has done jail time, the number one repeat offender of crime are those who sexually abuse children. Prison does not reform these derranged individuals. Thus every state should be taking all measures possible to ensure their tax paying citizens are given the tools to protect their children.

Posted by: OR MOTHER (not registered) on March 01, 2006 at 12:48 am

It's my understanding that if a sex offender completes treatment (which usually takes about 6 years I think - depending on each individuals ability to pass assigned levels of treatment) they can then apply to waive the obligation of registering as a sex offender. Does anyone know more about this topic? I also know that you can view a general list of jail and work release inmate?s photos? and it will tell you if they are sex offenders. I have looked them up in Umatilla County.

Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on March 01, 2006 at 10:09 pm

You people don't know what you are talking about. You can't lump every sex offender into one group anymore tan you can any other group of people. As the wife of a convicted sex offender( this happened before I met him)for 18 yrs. I can tell you that they are put through Intensive treatment programs(all of which I was required to attend with him)...His lasted 7 years(at great expense to us) and he is required to re-register every year for the rest of his life. In the days of his crime alot of things fell under the umbrella of "sex offenses",and while having sex with a minor is not something to be proud of, it happens all the time. Look at all the young mothers and pregnant teens in our schools and you must admit the sex is rampant. Do you really think that all those girls are pregnant by other teens? Some are and some aren"t,but the simple act of having sex with one(wthout violence or coersion) is still that a man guilty of poor judgement will pay for the rest of his life. Now in his late 50's and happily married and sober, he and I will be dogged by something that happened 25yrs. ago FOREVER! In a nutshell, some sex offenders are considered predatory and/or likely to repeat offend and some are not. For those who are not,why should you be able to deny them honest work and human happiness because of a past mistake that You don't know the particulars of? Shame on all of you so called christian people who don't practice what you preach. Evidently your God only forgives certain kinds of people. I don't know any where in the Bible where it says you and pick and choose who is worthy of forgiveness.

Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on March 27, 2006 at 03:52 pm

because some people and crimes don't deserve to be forgiven. Yes, there is a difference between a man who had poor judgement in relations with a technical minor but was a mutual relationship or situation. BUT there is a big difference in a RAPIST AND A PREDATOR WHO FORCES ONSELF ON OTHERS WHO ARE VULNERABLE OR CAN'T FIGHT BACK OR USES THEIR AUTHORITY OR POWER TO OVERPOWER OTHERS FOR SEXUAL GRATIFICATION AND I D0N'T CARE WHAT RELIGION OR BOOK SAYS WHAT. I DONT BELIEVE IN A GOD AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IS FORGIVABLE ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS PREMEDITATED. DO PREMEDIATATED EVIL, PAY THE CONSEQUENCES. THATS JUSTICE LADY!

I'm actively in law enforcement and have investigated over 50 registered sex offenders during the past year here in Oregon. In my jurisdiction, approximately 10% of our registered sex offenders are out-of-compliance. Meaning, they failed to tell us where they are at. My largest concern is the lack of support from the DA's office. I've investigated too many of these out-of-compliance individuals only to have the DA's office not pursue a warrant, because of confusion regarding the statutes, or their lack of interest in these cases. A public website for Oregon is coming this summer, but will only list predatory sex offenders. A database of all of the Oregon registered sex offenders would be too bulky (12,000+). Besides this information is generated by the sex offenders themselves and wouldn't be accurate. Criminals lie all the time... Don't focus too much on the registered sex offenders. Also consider the other people in your community. After all at one time every sex offender was a "normal" person in the community before they offended. Be wary of everyone... Teach your children good tactics. Those free websites are okay, if you're not looking for anything too specific. I've compared it to the law enforcement only database and there are numerous missing entries on the websites and lots in inaccurate information. So don't put too much stock in these free sites. Stay safe.

It's truly fascinating reading the blogs on this subject. Oregon appears to be the national poster child to get a sex offender registry. The true question is does it stop crime, has it in the other states. I would say probably not. Will it make us more diligent about protecting our children, shouldn't we already be taking those extra precautions. One statement from a previous blog was exceptionally true. "Sex offenders crimes are varied" and as different as the crime of theft and not all bare the right of citizens to know the people who committed them. How about the validity of all those prosecuted and registered under the sex crime laws. One former Attorney general from the state of Florida estimated over 40 percent of the convictions are bogus. One can certainly understand the feelings of parents to protect thier children, shouldn't we then register murderers, how about former drug addicts, drug sellers, aren't they as great or greater a threat . Drunk drivers are a definite threat to children, shouldn't they be on a national registry? I fully understand we need to protect children, but we must do our part. Unless we perform the duties of being extraordinarily vigilant, No Registry or list will help. Predatory Sexual Offenders should be monitored by the legal system, restrictions on the places where they can live are appropriate. I am not concerned about all sexual offenders. I believe people have to have the chance to redeem themselves and the wide range of application of these laws should not throw the whole group into a predatory category. The offender I am most concerned about is the one who has not yet been identified to law enforcement, the one who has not yet offended but will. Reason is often the first casualty in a rush to judgement.

You all make good points but you need to remember not all SO are the same what about the young man who is 19 dating is 17 yo girlfriend and goes to prison or how about the 18 year old that I know who was lied to by his gf and when he learned the truth, broke off the relationship she lied again and ruined his life. Believe it or not Sex Offenders make up a very small portion of the arrests made in Oregon there are far more Drug Addicts, Woman Beaters, Drunk Drivers, and thieves than there are SO This idea of a registry is like using a giant meat cleaver to perform brain surgery. This is a fair and just country and while I agree that we need to protect our little ones we need to be fair, I want to know about the Drug Addict and the Woman Beater as much as the SO and if you have a problem with that then it is unfair and unjust to make them register.

I'm a mother whose 6 year old son just told us in October that a family friend (15 years old) molested him. We've since learned that he has molested at least 5 other boys. We live in a small town. This boy got the strictest punishment the law allowed. Yes, he got 10 whole days in jail and has to take sex abuse classes. He also has been suspended from school for threatening to kill someone and has a restraining order on him from his ex-girlfriend. You would think this boy would be closely monitered, but instead he attends South High unsupervised unless he'll be around kids under 12. What a joke!!

Most likely the best way to protect your children is to talk to them. And as you say, be proactive to a degree. Remember, most offenders are in the family or are close friends of the family. I just cannot believe all the parents that are scared to death about this today. Kids used to walk to school, sometimes a mile each way. They were warned not to take candy or a ride with strangers. Certainly offenders where around, but parents weren't narotic. Somehow, I think the Dept. of Justice has everyone running around in pure fear...and it sure does give wonderful grants to the local state police to keep the fear going. We need to start dealing with this illness with methods of "identifying" potential offenders and demanding treatment programs to prevent reoffense.

Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on July 08, 2006 at 09:35 pm

I was under the impression (from television) that I could just go to my computer and ask to see where in my city sex offenders are living. Either it is hard to find, and I haven't yet found it, or I have to give my life history to be able to access it. This is not right. Now I see why some parents are caught as if they are blind to a preditor that lives next door. I can't believe my state is that way.

Posted by: Justin (not registered) on July 09, 2006 at 10:26 pm

Most people acused of a sex crime will be over 95% chance convicted. You can't convict a person of any crime that I know of in Oregon by here-say except a sex crime. I know this first hand cause I'm dealling with it. But the sad part is what goes on after the courts. I've sat with some dangerously deranged individuals who are allowed way to much trust and freedom because they will simply say, "Yes, I have a problem. Would you please fix me?" Yet they go on to commit more crimes of the nature that put them in the system. It's a sad and sick system, people constantly slip through cause the system doesn't care. But if you are one of the others who made a youthfull mistake, or simply upset a woman who understands that the law works for her, good luck. Because the system want you to be a good offender and admit you have a problem or they will make your life difficult. Before the women get upset about some of my comments, I know a 18yr old male who is the father of a 34yr old womans child. He was 16yr old when she got pregnant. The State of Oregon has sought child support from him since his son was born before he was 17 for a woman in her 30's. He is now incarsurated for having dumped his 16yr old gf after turning 18. Some people would consider the age difference between 32 and 16 more disturbing then 16 and 18 but the woman is always a victim and apparently not always so with a man. I'm a father of 3 boys and understand peoples feellings and believe I have them stronger since I've met the dangerous S.O's in just one part of Oregon and I am scared for my kids. But I've also seen the people who will have ruind lives because people are more concerned with convictions then proper evaluations and treatment of S.O's. I'm one of those people and I don't want pity, I want people to be more educated and less ignorant of what are system is doing. Get mad, but not at all who are acused, but at the system for allowing the seriously disturbed to roam are streets and neighborhoods with little to no supervision or notification because they have said, "I have a problem, please fix me." and continue the same behavior that makes them a S.O and a threat to are children. Thanks to my friend for posting this for me, since haveing internet access is a crime for any on parole or probation of a sex crime. You rock Phil

	I think all of these individuals should register as part of there release. I also think no matter what crime they commited, the state should notify its citizens that they are living in our communities so we can safe guard ourselves accordingly.

I would like to say that every sex offender is not the same. Most people when they look at a website read into things and want to think that a person that is with a 15 year old when they are 18 is the same as someone that goes and molest children in the crib. In the early 1900's there was nothing wrong with the fact of a older man being with a younger woman. Now I am not saying that it is ok for a 30 year old man to be with a 12 year old girl. No that is wrong. But if people would actually do some research and find out that the chance for a sex offender to reoffend is actually not as high as you are made to think. If you went to FBI sites and stuff like that you would see that the rate is lower than most people want you to think. I am not saying that it is not good to know about SO. But the fact remains when you are through with your time you have paid your debt to society. What more do you want. Should a SO get punished over and over agian and like it has already been said not be able to live a poductive life? One of the things that lead to a sex offense is the non ability to function is society. So should a SO be contiously harrassed and be ridiculed so that everyones worse fears come true? When someone looks at the registry they see a sex offender lives next to them. Then judge him and then they persecute him. That leads down the road for the person to commit another sex offense. I understand the thought of not wanting to have children around a sex offender. But society needs to learn the difference in the charges and not think that all sex offenders touch children. Educate yourself first then make a judgement call. But what about the person that murders a child? Or one that sells dope to kids? When a child is murdered that child or person is gone forever no second chances nothing. I know that it is not much but at least you will get to see your child or love one. And as for selling drugs, they are cut so much these days that you never know if your child will die from 1 hit or 200. People need to think about these things before they get on the sex offender band wagon and be like " Sex offenders are the only thing in this world that can hurt my child oh boy got to know where they are". Treament is not a garuntee that a sex offender will never reoffend. The levels and preadatory is all crap to. A level 1 can reoffend just as easily as a 3 or a preadtor. So think about that before everyone gets all worked up.

Here is a link that goes directly to the department of justice (FBI) that gives the real truth on sex offenders and the reoffense rates. So lets take a look and then lets sit there and think about it for a minute. Everyone wants to get pissed off and bash people on this site and get all worked up. The percentages for drugs and murder are alot higher so think about thatand then start wanting to destroy someones life that has done ther time.

	We should stone them all to death in a public square there is no reform!! They do not rehabilitate and they destroy lives. They take tax payer money any way yoou look at it. They did not like what was done to them...so why do they perpetuate the pain, suffering, and humiliation? Send them back to Satin!!

I see that no one is going to change that is on this site. It is the same old stuff being said sometimes changed but the same for the most part. No one wants to take the time to sit and think before they run there mouth or they act. I teach my daughter and my son to think before they act. I want to learn all the facts before I make a decision. Everyone is so worried about SO's that they neglect there own lives and the ones around them. Everyone takes money from the tax payers. People in prison, state agencies all that. So is there any other excuses to get mad and bash SO's? jeez look at all the other stuff in the world and worry about that also instead of harping on a dead horse.

Barbara where in the darn heck did you get your percentage of 85% that are sex offenders in Oregon's prisoners. That is so ludicrious it's amazing. That is what is wrong with our prison system in this country, so many facts that are untrue. For instance, that prisoners have computers to use. Jeez. How can you blame them for being so pissed off when they get out that they never try to be law abiding citizens again. You know, there are "effects of incarcation", and it's mostly bad. My vote now is for Mexico, because they are not spending such an enormous amount of money locking up drug users and going for the big ones. No I am not a drug user, a college student.

	Why does everyone feel the need to "protect the rights" of these pervs? They have raped, molested, and ruined the lives of enough children. Rehabilitated? Who cares? Trying to move on? Who cares? You tell me who is going to give their victims a second chance to lead a normal life?

Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on August 22, 2006 at 06:51 pm

Josh's Mom: This question is for you. Did you ever, or do you know any one who had sex before age 18? Then the person is a sex offender (a "perv" in your own words, according to the laws. So, now tell me whether the people you have counted (or may be yourself) - the "pervs" should have their rights protected. Remember, when you point a finger at one person, four of your fingers are pointing right back at you.

Bethany wrote that she's worried that her child attends a preschool in which a registered sex offender lives less than 1 block away from and that it has come to her attention that they are not making him (the sex offender) move because he is an informant for the local Police department! Bethany asks "What about my childs safety?" Well Bethany, According to statistics, your child is 95% more likely to be molested by your husband (or boy friend), her uncles, brothers, cousins, family friends or teachers than the sex offender a block away. So, start from your own house in protecting your daughter and spend 5% of your efforts worrying about the sex offender. We all must become wiser in protecting our children - looking where we should look.

Ah...thank you. For the longest time the hysteria frightened me. The villagers were at the castle door with pitchforks and torches. It seemed like every day brought a new fear. But now...lol. You are fools. Now you flood your registries with romeo and juliet crimes, your federal government pays the states based on how many people they have on their registry - which leads to some laughable results Ohio now has a new law where you can be put on the registry without being convicted, charged, or even sued (don't worry, its not punishment, just public safety and thus not subject to due process, and the person can petition after 6 years). You know those "slippery slope" arguements everybody always makes? Well, the "slippery slope" isn't a threat - its a reality. A number of states have instituted registries for other crimes (drug use, etc) You allow children on the registry, you allow hearsay into your courtrooms, you have dumped due process, you have whored the principles of this country out of fear. And for what?

an easy to find listing of sex offenders by area should be available 24/7 so people can see the list of names and pictures of sex offenders and areas sex offenders are registered or live in. example a sex offender localy here in umatiila/morrow county area refuses to give anyone his last name so we can be sure of what type of risk persons and children around him are in.also his stories of acounts is filled with holes and doesn't quite make since. how can a person find out about someone like that if there is no names and pictures list available for citizens to use for their and theirt childrens safety.

BE CAREFUL. I have looked online for sex offenders in my county....they say there is non....our local paper just printed this...There are currently 35 registered sex offenders in Harney County. Of those, 34 are male and one is female. None are currently considered predatory. The following is a list of the 19 registered sex offenders in Harney County who are currently on supervision: Joseph Stephen Barney, 49 Samuel Thomas Cox, 65 Cody Keith Cronin, 22 Chance Elliott Holcomb, 22 Donald William Hoppe, 55 Jeremy Michael Lombard, 27 Clayton William Marsh, 24 Jeffery Lynn McClendon, 50 Daniel Leroy Moulton, 25 Michael Alfred Oltman, 25 Stephen Warren Riley, 59 Michael Thomas Rogers, 22 Mark Nelback Ruggles, 42 Thomas Ray Saxton, 19 James Michael Dean Small, 22 Roman Joseph Snapp, 23 Mark Allen Sullivan, 45 Levi Dale White, 27 David Logan Wilson, 26 The following is a list of the 16 registered sex offenders in Harney County who are off supervision: Demian Charan Cushing, Russell Alan Greer, Jeffery Allen Lockwood, Rocky Lloyd Male, Samuel George Newton, David Jay Peck, Alfred Leroy Presley, Gregory Alan Reponen, David Dee Schwarzin, Richard Joseph Shaffer, Louis Sterling Smith, Floyd Melvin Teeman, John Hayden Travis, Scott Rafael Wells, David Layton Wilke and Vicki Lee Wion.

Sex offenders are the ones who don't want their information on websites. They have worked very hard to NOT PAY THE CONSEQUENCES for what they've done. I am discusted that our government would rather protect a bunch of perverts, than some innocent children. These creeps deserve to pay for what they do to children, for the rest of their lives. The victims and their families have to pay for it for the rest of their lives. The oregon government needs to do something!!!!

Hello everyone! I live in a very small like cul-de-sac and I have just learned that my 52 year old has been exposing himself to my 8 year old daughter and the other girls in the neighborhood. The girls had told another parent (including mine) who chose not to believe them. So after about 2 weeks of this she finally spied herself and witnessed him doing it. So she called the police and filed charges. I have a couple of problems with this- we were not home at the time of the charges so can I file seperate charges on him? Also, he is only being charged with public indecency misdameanor 4 (nothing), shouldn't it be a more severe charge considering the age of the girls? There had been rumors in the area that he had molested a little girl in the past that soon moved away, so I know he is a bad man. I seem to be more upset than my daughter but it disgusts me cause I know that it will only led to more seriuos crimes from him. Can I also get some type of restraining order on him? P.S. We live right down the street from the school.

	Most of you people don't have a clue. Forget about websites, pictures and other various data. America's newest boogyman is the '"sex offender" and don't look no further than your own yard. It's the people you already know who are your biggest threat. Safety starts at home so quit pointing fingers at the unknown and just live your life.

PEOPLE DO HAVE CLUES THAT IS WHY THERE IS A WEB SIGHT LIKE THIS TO HELP OTHERS. WE ALL KNOW IT CAN START IN OUR OWN BACK YARDS BUT IT CAN ALSO BE IN THE LEAST PLACE YOU THINK, OR HAPPEN FROM SOMEONE YOU LEAST EXPECT IT TOO HAPPEN FROM, BUT IT DOES. I REALLY THINK WEB SIGHTS HELP, AND THIS ONE TOO. IT GIVES PEOPLE A CHANCE TO VENT AND SEE IF SOMEONE MAY KNOW SOMETHING THEY DO NOT, OR WHAT EVER THEY NEED TO EXPRESS ABOUT. I FEEL THAT NO MATTER WE YOU LIVE THINGS CAN HAPPEN BUT ON THIS SIGHT PEOPLE CAN COME TOGETHER AND GET MADD, OR JUST TELL THEIR STORY TO HELP OTHERS OR HELP THEMSELVES. TAMMY (HEXGIRL)

Regardless of whether the offender is on the lose or in prison they should still be on the website. I was engaged to a sex offender, knew it from the start. I trusted him with my life and my children, let me tell you was that a mistake. I chose to believe his story that him and his underage girl friend got caught having sex by her parents. Well after 3 years of defending and standing up for those labels of sex offenders who just had sex with his gf, he got mad at me and raped me. So tell me why should any of them be looked at judged or anything else any differently. That is why the crime should be posted UP TO DATE on the website. If he was out today to date or roam the streets the girl wouldn't have any idea he did anything. 4 years later his crime is still not updated. I know one thing I would not put one of my children in the hands of an offender just because he swears he was falsely accused, would u? IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU DID TO GET THAT LABEL IT FITS

Posted by: Oldtimer on May 08, 2007 at 07:16 pm

It sounds like you put this guy in prison? There are all kinds of offenders lumped onto the same registry. Even the feds are taking a look at this listing problem. HOWEVER, when you run into an offender that re offends, you have a real problem. Keep an eye on him. If he isn't treated he may do it again. Hopefully, the "system" will correct his thinking before he is out of prison this time. Please do not give up on mankind, because of this bad apple.

We are aware there is a sexual offender living at a particular address and that he is registered. However, when I mapped him at our next door address, the program reporte there were NO offenders within a 1 mile radius or the address, in Bend, OR. Would someone please put a priority on updating the data base when an offender moves to a specific location?? Is this input by the Adult Parole and Probation, or the local law enforcement agency?

if oregon can post pics/ all the 411 of a someone that breaks the law-from sexual assualt to drinking and driving, they why is such a big deal to do the same for ppl who chose to make a decision that indirectly/directly affected themsleves, the VICTIM, their families, and everyone in their surrounding communities?! its not. why is ANYONE trying to protect those kinds of ppl in any sort of way. they made a life changing decison, they know whats right, and what wrong, so why is that theyre getting it easy?? if oregon jails can post pics of the other stupid offenders who chose to break the law, then oregon can post pics of the sickos who chose to break the law. its NOT any different, and everyone knows it. its a peace of mind for the victims, their families, and anyone who lives in those communities...

I was the victim of RAPE, the man that raped me is walking free in the same town I just moved back into. He has all the rights but what about me.......Based on what happened it seems I was not the first but they do not do any noifications to neighborhoods or schools. If I was to notify families or schools in the area I would be at risk of being prosecuted??? He is not high risk so he is not listed by picture in Marion County. Will someone please help or we will see more victims of his in the future!!!!!

Honestly that is the way the State works, and as hard to understand as it is, there really is nothing yet anyone can do. I know I have been fighting the State going on almost two years now. Nothing makes since except the wrongly accused pay, the true offenders do not get sh@@it, and the vic.. are just that in the eyes of the State. I wish I could give you better advise, but I want to be truthfull to you, and not have you lyed too, like I and my family was when our son was molested. The State will promise you the World, and this, and that, but in all Honestly you will always have a question mark of anything they say, or do, because its nothing they will tell you. Trust Me.

Ok people... Lets look at the big picture here. We do need to protect the children for CHILD MOLESTERS! However, not everyone that is on the SOR is a CHILD MOLESTER, which brings me to my point to follow... You may have 35,000 registered offenders of those 35,000 maybe 3000 of them pose a threat to a child thats only about 11.6% off the registered offenders. What we need to do is get the SOR and the laws to be uniform nation wide. We need to do a better job of protecting the children, we as parents need to do a better job of being involved in our childrens lives. 85% percent of Offenders who get treatment never re-offend. So a little better than the 2500 would be consider less likely to re-offend.

Posted by: Hexgirl on June 22, 2007 at 08:56 pm

I think the Offenders who hurt a child should be reg... and that where thry live should be known, for the pro... of your children, and grandchildren. The ones who are in the teenage years and have been labled as a offender do not need to number one be called that, or should have to reg... The sadd part is even if you are a offender and your sex act was both agreeable, your still going to be reg.. and other people let known of the name and not really the fact you did nothing wrong, except making a parent get madd. There is so many twists and turns too this whole offender, preditor, sexual abuser type its sicking for the inn... offenders, and for the familys, as well as for the true vic... of offenders, preditors, ans their familys. It seems like the inn. pay more then the gulity offenders do. I used to think all offenders are bad, until i opened up and saw more then hafe of the offenders are teenagers that know what to say no means, and yes means, with parents who fail to understand their child went along with the sex as well as the other person. I think there should be a age honestly where the judge can say look they have hormons, they acted out on them no one is at fault, because it honestly is not a offender lable. focus on the true offenders who moleste a child and give them the lable of a preditor, or a offender.

when I lived in cali, they had a great sex offender site. all I had to do is put in the zip code and I got a map of the whole town in which I can zoom in or out and see all the sex offender dots. aFter clicking on a dot, you get a pic of the offender along with all his offenses listed. You kinda got a sence of where he lived in the nieghborhood but they never truely gave his address, which is fair enough, that offender did his time, but at least I know what he looks like, or she. I do believe an offender has a right to privacy and no harassment after time served. Anyway, i move here and I cant get anything! What the hell? the site asks me for my address and everytime I put one in, it says it is not recognized. Come on! why cant we just put in a zip code and get a map????? the site also states that it will only show a 1 mile radius. this is rediculous since many residents are so rural and offenders are not limited to only 1 mile!!!!!! please --some officer or law enforcement or somebody who knows, tell me i was on the wrong site and there is a better site?

I am a therapist in Portland. All of my study of this population over the years tells me their crimes come out thier fundamental personality and that is not modifiable. Their crimes are not "behaviors" that "spring up" from stresses, etc. They do not suddenly decide one day that they are going to commit sex crimes. This is their sexuality. It is a heinous linkage of hatred of women (just speaking of the male rapist/abiser now) and sex identity that gets created in them at an early age. Possibly some of this can be genetic inherited as well. Their sex drive is to do violence to women. It allows them to give vent to their hatred of women, need to debase them. It is their sexual identity set in stone. Sex "treatment" only "works" to the extent that it trains them to respond to EXTERNAL controls. The rest of what works to keep these cretins from continuing to victimize innocent people is incarceration, long term closely supervised probation and a strong community that will not tolerate any less control over these "people." I have trained under a couple of top nationally recognized psychiatrists and psychologists. This gave me a clear and deep insights into the nature of personality and behavior. Sex offenders remain a risk to society for LIFE. They need to receive much longer prison terms and lifetime probation if and when released. Many states are just too easy on these predators. I have worked with many victims of what is now termed sex "abuse" or sexual "assault." I guess the legal system needed to be more specific. RAPE is the operative term here people when there is a crime beyond touching of some sort. That leaves no doubt in people's mind as to what happened and it labels the perp accurately. My client victims of sex crimes are irrevocably damaged for LIFE as are all victims. Why isn't the criminal given a similar legal sentence? Too much of our criminal justice systems seems to be justice for criminals. I have worked with felons of all kinds as well and I can tell you, with some exception for the first time offenders of small time misdemeanors, the rest "are what they are."

Posted by: Oldtimer on July 19, 2007 at 10:43 pm

It seems incomprehensible to me that you can be a therapist with sex offenders. If one looks around this site, or the internet in general, they will find all kinds of reference to treatment and techniques that have worked with offenders. Saying they can't change their behavior is a lie. I have contact with many who have reformed or refrained from deviant behavior. (IMHO) You have found yourself working in a position in which you lack qualifications.

My freind is a SO, known him 13 yrs. He does not deserve to be on a list or website. He cried when he told me, never seen that before. I have read his 200 page file..I insisted, I could not believe it. He was 14 when it happend and was what most have all done,playing doctor.It happend a couple times, the victim mentioned it at church during the "private areas" talk. He told police everything, a year later was arrested. He was 18 and facing 10 years in prison. Just out of basic training,He took plea,180 days in jail and 6 yrs on probation. The Army let him stay, Honorably Discharged after 6 yrs. Had to complete yrs of treatment and pay money for tests/therapy-passed. Married now, he has a child of his own. He doesn't deserve this..he was a child himself. He was taken from his family at age 1 by the state and placed in foster care until 6. His first 6 yrs spent with people being paid by this state, and molesting him. 1 foster mother and 2 foster parents children molested him repeatedly, locked him in closets, and physically abused him. The state never provided counseling. I told him to get a lawyer and go after the state, but they are protected from suits after 2 yrs. It is sad. He is a good guy and any who see the list never know the rest of the story. It effects his employment, housing, family, etc. Part of his therapy was writing the victim an apology. I thought it was too much, he was only mirroring what had happend to him. She wrote back and said the whole thing was blown out of proportion and she forgave. She understood why it happend. Each and Every state should handle on case by case basis. He should not have to register. Convcited over 10 years ago, he can't even work in many careers just because of this. The Army knew about it, gave him a gun, told him to defend this country, he did. I trust him with my kids. He has done his time, it should be done with. Rapists, Perverts, those people are the ones who should be on lists. But, just because a SO lives next door means nothing. I never let my child around anyone I don't know. I supervise my childern. Another friend of mine is in Law and says most abuse occurs from someone the victim knows. If you are worried about SO, look at who you know. Make sure your children know stranger danger. I feel bad for victims of abuse. He should be able to do something to help fight abuse, or help others, he told me his dream was to help others. Wait..he can't do that because he is a SO.

Posted by: Oldtimer on July 25, 2007 at 09:27 pm

I just want to say as a father that there are different kinds of sex offenders there are those that target children,men,women and senior citizens so not all offenders attack children lets get that straight. I want you all to read a article in the sunday oregonian 07/22/07 because these boys by what I've read on most of these post you would have locked up forever or stoned to death the hystaria runs rampant and the media fuels the fire. Did you know that in this country you point a finger at someone accuse them of this and they are guilty the state doesn't even have to prove it. Look there is a witch lets burn them at the stake

if somebody is looking at this and it has happened to you. Please try to feel comforted. i myself have been through a sexual assault. i didnt want to talk to anybody. As embarrassing and hurtful as it is to talk when you dont want to, talking can only help you and others around you. the sooner you talk the better and as awful as this sounds the dirtier you are the better. i know this will probably be a "too late post" for a lot of people. But if it reaches that one person that reads it before that night that they go out ill be happier. Advice: dont wash ANYTHING and go immediately to the hospital. If you dont want to say what has happend right it down for a nurse. The sooner the better, the more evidence the better!i havent got any tests back but ive found myself wondering about these tests a lot. The nurse said they can take up to a year. the man could be long gone if it actually does take that long. I LOVE YOU!God loves you! and i care!!!! Ive always cared about you strangers out there. and to those of you that intentially hurt the innocent ill do my best to put you away! If i cant its ten fold my friends!! signed the hunter of the beast!!

As much as i want to protect my children there is such a thing as being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and providing a list of all sex offenders, including ones who are not a risk to society could prove even more damaging to society. Laws are strict and very few sex offenders once in the system will make it out unnoticed if they are not truly a risk. Providing unnecessary information to "those who use it" includes providing it to fanatic groups which could very well just lead to an all-over-all increase in crime. Criminals are people too.

	to jul 31 anon: Have you two ever written your congressmen? They are responsible for these laws, forcing the states to comply. Write them and maybe the laws will finally be rewritten.

	Maybe you are telling the wrong people. Might I direct you to your local state police to discuss this matter?

	"i don't understand why we dont have a posted site with pictures and locations of these people. can anyone explain to me why this is??" If they made their addresses and photos public then people would harrass/ threaten/ physically harm them.

I have educated my two daughters since they were little about sex offenders and it did no good my girls were still victims. Their offender threanted them by saying they were going to kill me and the rest off their family. So it does no good to educate them about them. I was a victim myself but i was never educated or even told anything about talking to strangers. It was never even brought up in my family neither was turning into a woman or the facts of life. Myself and my children has received years of counseling but it can't take away the scars that the SO left on all of us. So if you all think you know how it feels to be in a victims shoes maybe you all should step back and really try to understand why alot of us have such harsh feelings against So's. As far as i am concerned treatment doesn't work for them because he was supposed to be treated yeah right. As far as I am concerned they all can burn in Hell.

	just a note, but we USED to be able to search for this stuff online, so it's actually been removed within the last several years. i did the search about 3 years ago and could map out my neighborhood- so Oregon has actually gone BACKWARDS.

	I've read most of these comments and am pleased at how many concerned parents feel as I do about this ridiculous sham of a system that is designed from the ground up to protect offenders from being identified. Remember to research the authors of this politically motivated bit of legislative tripe and protest/vote accordingly.

A recent Justice Department report suggests that state sex-offender laws may need revisiting. The study finds former sex offenders are much less likely to be rearrested than other former criminals after their release from prison. In fact, of the 9,691 men convicted of rape, sexual assault, or child molestation who were released in 1994, only 5.3 percent were arrested for another sex crime after their release. The percentage of those that were actually convicted after their second arrest was down in the 3 percent range. Forty-three percent were rearrested within three years - that contrasts with a rearrest rate of 68 percent for inmates serving time for a variety of other crimes. Do these statistics undercut the rationale for so-called Megan's laws passed by all 50 states? Such laws allow the public to know the names and addresses of former sex offenders living nearby. Their name refers to a young New Jersey girl who was raped and murdered in 1994 by a neighbor who had served two prison terms for sexually assaulting children. The girl's parents didn't know his background. The Justice report raises the question of whether these laws were overreactions to a few high-profile events, rather than reasoned legislation. At the least, the laws isolate and stigmatize those who have served time for a sex crime - a sort of excess punishment that may unfairly assume all sex offenders will tend toward the same behavior for life. What's more, the term "sex offender" doesn't include some important distinctions. Many were peeping Toms, whom the law often throws in the same lot with serial rapists and pedophiles. A large body of evidence shows that most sex offenders are typically people their victims knew. Yet most Megan's laws are directed to warn strangers of the whereabouts of former offenders, usually through a statewide registry and community notification. Such lists can make rehabilitation and reentry into society much more difficult for men (or women) who have paid their penalty.

The article I tried to post was too long so I only printed it in part. If we are going to have a sex offender registry why not a car wreck registry, a murder registry, a thief registry, etc. Sex offender is a broad term and it includes the married couple who had sex in the backseat of their car at a rest stop.. not wise maybe but punishable by law and eligible for the sex offender label. Lets post everyones dirt and pictures and addresses on the internet! I think not. Our time would be better spent getting people treatment in prison since most will be released, getting treatment for victims.. though some offenders dont even have a victim, educating children and parents prevention and yes keeping violent repeat offenders locked up until they are without a doubt rehabilitated.

	I'm more worried about the murderer, wife/child beater, repeat offender, etc next door. Why is no one worried that these people don't need to register. I assume you are all watching your children when they are outside(or maybe you don't care what they are doing in the streets).

Posted by: anon (not registered) on November 17, 2007 at 01:41 pm

Its called "Kick the Dog". Americans are stressed right now due to the war etc. So, if you take the lowest of the low...even in prison, you have the sex offender. Its a pecking class. You get everyone to hate and fear the offender and kick him/her when they are down. Then you, as an American feels better about life because you are elevated or "above" the offender. Besides that, it is a nifty way to move tax money to local police for hiring and computers etc. It works! Now if the police want to protect you, they would also put the other classes on the registry: drunk drivers that kill, parents that kill their children and so forth and so on. Of course this is just an opinion.

Not all sex offenders are equal. There needs to be a seperation between a violent or predatory sex offender, child molester, and your average sex offense. If you give your 16 year old daughter a condom to keep her from getting pregnant (or worse), you are commiting a sex offense. If you bare a sexual organ in public (Breasts count), you're commiting a sex offense. If a 13 year old plays "Show me yours and I'll show you mine" with someone who's 9, they can be charged with a sex offense. And these will stain your record for your entire life. Most sex offenders have no care for children. Paedophiles aren't really as common as you might think. Also, most predatory sex offenders won't go after someone they don't know and don't have constant contact with. My neice was molested by her mother's ex boyfriend, someone they trusted. Someone who was around her all the time and had opportunities to be alone with the child for extended periods of time. Some guy down the street who might have made a poor choice when he was 20 with a 16 year old probably won't be interested in kidnapping and messing with your child. And if you don't think the SO treatment classes are enough, put yourself in one. The reason we don't put up pictures and addresses is because of people who are into vigilante justice. SOs are people too, and have some rights, as long as they don't do anything to further end those rights, we really can't just decide "Oh, he/she's wrong, They need to die." Or what have you.

I have read all of the postings and find them interesting. I applaud the postings from the professionals "Deputy and Judge Roy Bean" your comments are from first hand knowledge of a large group of offenders. When I first contacted the law makers regarding our lack of information it was with the true belief that I as a parent have more rights to protect my child than an offender has to hide. Through a difficult process and lawmakers that felt as I do we started the Oregon sex offender website. I caution parents to understand that this is not a complete list... that list can be obtained by contacting the state police directly and requesting it. Although I agree that the website needs to broaden its scope it is a good first step. There will be more legislation introduced in the coming years. I ask all parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles to contact your local lawmakers now and voice your opinion. It's amazing to me that one person can make a difference. One parent can say.... I have the right to protect my child and have our elected officials agree. This website also captures rapist of adult women.... A predatory designation is the worse of the worst. Those who will most likely re-offend. I will probably never realize my goal with working this process, which is to save one child... Just one. I am fortunate in never having been a victim but unfortunate in having seen the devastation that this crime can have on a person’s life. For those of you who ask how long we should hold them accountable for their actions? My answer is… for the lifetime a victim feels the pain. I am not done with my goal, I will continue to work with the public officials to pass laws to protect our women and children from sexual offenders. I could use your help in the future making calls and talking my friends and family in to doing the same. When you see a news article that brings you to your core as a parent go to this website find your legislator and make a call. It’s easier than you think! http://www.leg.state.or.us/findlegsltr/

Posted by: Oldtimer on December 14, 2007 at 09:47 am

cehollon: although I agree with some of what you say, I tend to think that this "Judge Roy Bean, reincarnate " is not the professional you should lean on. Don't take my word for it. Just go to other websites like sos.net or even the Justice Department of the United States. There you will see the facts and that these people are being steriotyped (in my opinion) by Mr. Bean. The facts are in a variety of studies. Not all offenders must reoffend. Cases vary and identity issues or past offenses to the offender oftentimes lead one to offend. Offenders should NOT be clumped into one class, as I understand Mr Bean, professional, to claim. And, remember, you cannot believe ALL of what people claim on this site. Some things prove to be true, some not. Educate yourself with the FACTS and don't base the solution to this problem on fear. Thanks for your comments.

Posted by: cehollon on December 14, 2007 at 06:45 pm

Dear "Old timer". I appreciate your response. The classifications of SO guidelines can be found at the following link: http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/smart/proposed.htm#coveredso The Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act “SORNA" breaks it down to four levels depending on the severity of the action among other elements. Some violations require prison time while others do not. I hope that in no means you think I promote vigilantly behavior or prejudice to a broad population. I do believe that those who offend as with any other crime should and need to be held responsible for their actions. My goal is to simply give parents every tool possible to help educate their children. This education must come at an early age and through out childhood by parents and loved ones. I have done extensive research on this subject and find that anyone can find data to back up their own beliefs... That is part of the problem. There is no certain or complete answer to this problem. There are no guarantees in the broad picture an offender will not re-offend. The classification process helps determine those most likely to do so. This issue crosses color, social and economic boundaries. Some simply do not tell until the damage is done! I do hope that you take a minute and express your thoughts and concerns to your lawmaker. Best Regards

well, to all those who dont know, i do understand that their is a lot of sex offenders out there. it has come to this in our times, the bad thing is that most of the worst offenders are the ones who never get caught. the ones who live their lives free, and in the closed doors of your nieghborhood. but sex offenders comes in many ways. the one who was 18 with a 17 year old. and the one who was 57 with a 10 year old. all of them register, but who should account for the ones who were young and foolish. ( no one) that is why you dont see all of them on online. oregon wants to make sure the ones who need to be on there are online and the ones who made their mistake and choose to live past that and grow, grow....that is what i think. life sucks..

I never could understand why teenagers have to reg... when it is something called hormones they go through? I am not saying it is right at that age, but come on, there is alot more bigger problems they turn their heads from, and look at things like this as a minor should have to reg.. but why is it always the boy, the girl plays a role as well, where is that justice for the boy? And this is coming from a mother who had their child molested by an adult mind you, and I am saying this because I saw the State through my sons process throw the book at these young teenagers, alot harder then the adults who moleste these children, and mine was one.

Posted by: Luane (not registered) on January 03, 2008 at 05:14 pm

People who delibratley hurt children are sick and should be accountable for their actions, but not all s.o do not prey on kids. My son (14 yrs) and his girlfriend (16yrs) were doing what most hormone driving teenagers do. (you know who you are) It got pretty heavy but there was no penile penitration, She said no and my son left. It got back to her father-she denied that she willing perticipated. He press charged and now my son may have to register. His name will be next to those who did unthinkable acts. He will be judged by many. Not ALL that have to register are monsters! I don't agree with his decision-but I honestly feel that he shouldn't have to pay for the rest of his life.

To who ever wrote the names of offendewrs in there area. YOU ARE IGNORANT! Do you know the extent of their crimes NO. It does not state ONLY that they are sex offenders. Get a life and find something better to do with your time then ruin peoples life with your close minded judgmental mind. God forbid you EVER make poor judgment in your life and you are living PERFECT. People like you absolulty make me sick and YOU can infact be sued for what you did. It was wrong YOU CAN NOT USE WHO YOU FIND ON THE INTERNET AND HARRASS THEM! READ BEFORE YOU POST! IT IS INFACT AGAINST THE LAW TO USE THE INTERNET AGAINST SOMEONE. I Hope they find you and sue you for everything you have. This just happened in my hometown and the people got sued. You do not know the story's behind each and every offender and what they have done until you do then post! DO YOU KNOW IF THESE ARE PEDIPHILES OR PREDATORS NO! AS IT DOES NOT STATE THAT! THE PEDIPHILES AND PREDATORS ALREADY HAVE TO REGISTER FOR THE REST OF THERE LIVES! THE REST JUST GOR SCREWED.

I USED TO THINK THE SAME WAY AFTER MY SON WAS MOLESTED BY HIS UNCLE. BUT HONESTLY, NOT ALL OFFENDERS ARE OFFENDERS, I HAD LEARNED THAT THROUGH THE COURT SYETEMS WAITING FOR MY SONS PREDITOR TO GO TO PRISION. ALOT OF THE CAUSES ARE A FEW YEARS DIFF... OF AGE, AND YOUR A OFFENDER, WHICH I FEEL IS WRONG IF BOTH PARTIES ARE WILLING, AND NO FORCE WAS USED, TO BE KNOWN AS RAPE, ETC... I AM SORRY FOR YOUR PAIN, BUT ITS SADD FOR PEOPLE, AND THEIR FAMILY'S TO ALSO BE FALSE LABLED TOO. HEX

I have a sex offense in oregon. My older sister molested me for 7 years not to mention the violent abusive parents I had. and i went and molested a younger sister. I was arrested when I was 21. I am now in my 40s I have done nothing to anyone since. I completed all the treatment. Do you really think that everyone needs to know about something I did when I was 17? I forgave those that abused me. But because I'm a man that did the same thing, I deserve no forgiveness? I hope others are more forgiving to you and your sins in the past that you are toward me and mine.

Posted by: Oldtimer on February 02, 2008 at 12:05 pm

Woman abuse. A nun just got caught for sexual molestation of several boys and her punishment was very light compared to what males are getting. I will try to get them to print the story on here. Society fears the thought that woman/mothers may abuse their children sexually (IMHO) Yet, I find it is the woman who was raped by a brother or father that is pushing the registry so hard. Many of which never turned in their relative and have intense rage against all other offenders today. and so it goes....

F*** every one of u, if u think sex offenders should be shown off on the internet like circus freeks than u must allso think every thife and speeder should be put on the internet to, and i bet u that more than 1/2 of sex offenders learned thair lesson and the real threat is people who u dont think would do somthing like that and probably 1/4 the people who suposavly been sexualy offended were willing i would know frome my frinds who must have been at least 14 having sex with a 21 yo man, a guy who new a girl that was under age that liked an older man that dident like her so she said he had sex with her so now hes demed as a sex offender and his colliges make fun of him, and take this for example, edgar allen poe(had a 13yo wife-his cosin) and if you aggre wih me congrats i like u, otherwise GET A LIFE. ps:i know i cant spell so...

Posted by: Hex on February 05, 2008 at 07:17 pm

I think they should be posted, and the only ones whom feel they should not are the ones who are molesters themselves. Except the Offenders, who are falsely accused, and charged as one. I do agree that they should not be posted as one, and I mean the ones whom have sex with agreed upon parties, and a parent gets madd, and so fourth. Hopefully one day a Law will pass too where that type of sex act is not cond... being an Offend
