Why are my family Members not registered in Bradford County. For Sexual abuse done to me back in 1989? Is it due to laws changed simce then or b/c it has been so long ago?

I don't see why the law should protect the addresses of SO (Sex offenders) and display only the VSO (Violent Sex Offenders). This isn't right. That means you're proctecting them but not us and our families.
In NJ where I come from, I new exactly where and when the all SO moved in to my area or even close by.
I do hope this law change some time soon!!!!

what are the restrictions outside of registration for sex offenders?
Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on October 20, 2006 at 10:42 am
There are no state restrictions on the offenders. Some towns and cities have been creating ordinances restricting the offenders from living near school, daycares etc. But unforrtunately there are no state laws, yet.

I feel so angry about this "so-called" list. When Tom Ridge was govenor, I got a local Pittsburg news channel to ask him why there was no sex offender list at that time. He wrote ME a letter in response that stated that would be an invasion of their privacy. How about all the victims who had their privacy invaded when someone touched them or had to sit through trials and questionings? I live in WV now, But PA will always be my home. I have friends with small children, I am concerned about this.

There is alot of things that question minds towards our systems actions when it comes to these so's. as a mother of four beautiful children, and out of those four, having one child molested by a family member, I have went through how the State really works systems, and to be frank, "It Sucks" My Step Brother got arrested, out in 24 hours on Bond which was $50.000.00 asking for only a certain percent down which in return was $5000.00. Our family has lived a life long He** this year, and this whole time he has been out and God knows who he may be hurting until trial comes. Well the state gave him the choice of a 7 year sentence(out on good behavior) instead of the 10 years they were asking, and no trial, Basicly they wanted the sase over to be honest. So he took the 7 year sentence, with life long Preditor, but my son has no say so on his feelings, we as his parents have no say so on how we feel, and since this is his first offence he will get a second chance in our society (within time) I have called every news channel on this, contacted the state, and contacted talk shows, just too try to get some understanding on the way this system works, not only have I had no responce, I have found out other research on my own, and the fact is unless you have money, ties with someone, or are a celb... we are a number to them and so is our children (the victums) This is sadd because they are our future, and by the way things are really operated in the system they are more for the molestor then the molested. I wish I did'nt have to be so true, but after a year of He**, and hearing, and seeing things for myself thats the way it works. So every time I read e-mails from upset people complaining about their private things being on line towards them, because of what they did, take a look at the child, family, and life you took away from the child, and family, that they will never get back, especially the child, and go wine to some one else who cares.

There is a child rapist posing as a christian school principle. He repeatedly rape a child for four years in another school in new England. He is now in the Elizabethtown area if anyone cares. She was only 11 yrs old at the time and was so innocent she didn't have the vulgar vocabulary to explain it to us. Just a warning! We believe he has done this before.

To the poster of an entry on February 28th 2007 who inquired as to why her assailant was not on this list.
You state in your post that "...he was charged..." Was he found Guilty of the crime? If not found Guilty or if he did not Plead Guilty, he will not be within the registry. Has the case against him gone to trial yet? Did he do what is very common, plead Guilty to a lesser offense? Most Courts are over-worked. The prisons are generally full. Trials are expensive. Courts work-out deals with criminals way too often. The end result gets a Conviction on the Prosecutor's next resume, punishes the criminal (but to a lesser degree), saves the taxpayers money, expedites the entire process, and benefits the criminal by getting a reduced sentence and quite often, something less on his Conviction Record than what everybody knows he actually did. The laws that allow plea bargaining must be changed. Without knowing the details of your specific incident, I can't really speculate or comment further, but I would not doubt, with what little I know as fact right now, there is a very strong likelihood that a plea bargain was made that benefitted the Court, the criminal, but not the victim. I would be willing to bet he plead Guilty to the equivilant of an Aggravated Assault charge, had the sexual part of the assault dropped as part of his plead deal, so he will of course, carry a criminal record with him, but not be mandated to register as a Sexual Offender. If anyone out there feels as though they need to be a rebel but don't have a clue as to what they want to fight for and actually want to do something worthwhile, the laws that allow such plea deals need some serious adjusting. They might be fine for various Motor Vehicle offenses and minor crimes, but they should be abolished for any and all crimes that directly involve any degree of physical harm or violence toward any other human being.

Do you individuals who wish to burn every individual who makes a mistake in this country. It is utterly ridiculous to believe that some of you with a 15 year old boy to fall under Megan’s Law. How about a little accountability from the kids’ parents. Also you people think that if you commit one sex offense that you will automatically re-offend. You want every offender monitored to the utmost extent. When will you be screaming to make colonies for registered sex offenders to be monitored in and need passes to leave? We have done our time in prison and I am not defending those who re-offend I think some clear lines need to be drawn between the sick perverse people of this world and those who, and I am not trying to minimalize any sexual offense, but believe it or not there are individuals who do rehabilitate. There are individuals who would like to become successful in their lives and it is not fair to punish them for the rest of their lives for one mistake made as a dumb kid. Do we require drunk drivers to have a special license tag warning everybody about the dangers of driving near them? Do we require thieves to go door to door in their neighborhoods warning their neighbors of the dangers of living next to them because of a mistake made years ago? Do we really want to live in a country that gets this extreme with their criminals? If we do not believe in rehabilitation why do we even bother letting criminals out of jail? The bad thing is the politicians really don't care about limiting sex offenders. They are using it as a platform to get elected and nothing more. It affects a group they really don't care about because we can't vote, so we don't matter. They would have you believe that all sex offenders are just like those in Florida who after being released kidnap 11-year-old girls, abuse them and bury them in the woods. Please America; don't be so naive to think that every individual convicted of a sex offense is this way. Don't buy into their platform. Don't give them another routine line like "tax cuts" to make the public happy and get themselves elected. Use your human brains and allow every free citizen of the United States to be just that.... Free.

Just that mere fact that you compared a thief to a sexual offender had me thinking I should not even waste my time responsding, however I need to respond with two sentences. 1. No, I do not believe in giving a sexual offender a second chance just to "see" if he/she is not rehabilited and going to destoy mine and my son's life. 2. I do believe we should do what you suggested about drunk drivers, they too, destroy lives without a care.

To the scared Mom posting of May 18th, yes I do believe given the chance you will do it again. I do not think certain types of criminals can be rehabilitated and I am not willing to sacrifice my childs well being to prove one of us is right. Better safe than sorry. It is bad enough my tax dollars had to support the sexual offenders while they are being so called "rehabilitated", now I have to live near them. Yes I would be in favor of putting all of them in a community with monitoring. Not being a criminal I deserve to be free not the sexual offenders. Yes drunk drivers should also be tagged so to speak as they also cause permanent damage. If you are a mother than why would you defend sex offenders? It makes me ill to think you would take the chance with your kids.

The state of PA is way out of line. You are making it impossible for web providers and citizens to keep kids safe
Posted by: Oldtimer on September 21, 2007 at 08:59 pm
It is your responsibility to keep your kids "safe", by educating them about inappropriate contact. (IMHO)I do not think it is the state of pa's responsibility. The world was just as safe/unsafe when I was a kid, but parents did not live in such fear. Kids stayed out until dark playing ball, etc. Yes, we knew not to take rides from strangers...but parents weren't as neurotic as they are today...just ask someone who grew up back then. I wish you luck with this struggle.

I don't think the system is working. I have tried looking up a particular sex offender, that I know of. He is not registered. His name doesn't appear in the Pennsylvania and the National Registry. How is justice served? He raped my 2 daughters years upon years. He served some time, but got out on good behavior. Can anyone see the problem? There were no children there. Of course, it was good behavior.
Posted by: Oldtimer on September 23, 2007 at 03:30 pm
The man may not be on the registry because he did not fall into the catagories of registration in his state. Some are avoiding the registry by plea bargaining out of it prior to sentencing. This happens all the time in my state. Someone is on the registry for a crime 20plus years ago and the new and most dangerous cases get away free. (recidivism is highest after incarceration) Also, what was warned has come true: The registry has forced offenders underground. Some have changed identity like illegal aliens do. Some live with relatives and use their accounts to hide. Some have now lost jobs and live under bridges, etc. This is just wonderful...Police can't win the war on drugs. ...do we expect they will win the war on offense? There are new cases every day committed by people NOT on a registry. and so it goes...

I live in Alaska (grew up in pennsylvania) and our Department of Public Safety (something that pennsylvania STILL does not have) has a registry that you can search by any means. It is upkept and is also very dear to us in the north. Call me what you want but.... UNACCEPTABLE IS UNACCEPTABLE!!
Posted by: Mom of falsely convicted (not registered) on October 22, 2007 at 03:58 pm
I'm just so sick of the "sex offender" hysteria I could puke. Yes, there are bad people out there who want to hurt children. There are also bad cops and bad prosecutors who wish to feather their caps by pursuing cases that really should wither and die. The current state of affairs is that there are way too many people considered "sex offenders" because of ridiculous, draconian laws, and due to this overbearing and overreaching legislation, the TRUE offenders who are dangerous to society get lost in the sea of knee-jerk legislation. For God's sake, let's stop swamping the sex offender registry with those who are not and will never be a danger to YOUR or MY children. And those who you who pore over the sex offender registry, stop freaking out if you see a "sex offender" listed in your area. He might be registered because he urinated in public, or because as a 19-year-old, he had a relationship with a 15-year-year-old. That's how ridiculous the registry laws are. And because of the hysterical laws, there are many, many convicted who have never done anything wrong at all. It takes a crackerjack lawyer and lot of money to defeat an accusation like that in court. To make "society" feel safer, they were convicted and now have to deal with the registry that so many of you are so reliant upon. The Salem Witch Trials were abominable. But we, as a society, as behaving much the same as those poor ignorant people did so long ago. WATCH YOUR CHILDREN. That is the bottom line. Do NOT leave it to the government, or some registry, to do your job as a parent.

I don't see why my step-dad still has to be on here b/c his ex-wife said that he supposably raped her while they were STILL married! It has been over 10 years! He is a good person and doesn't deserve to be on here! They were married when it happened so how can it possibly be rape??? IT'S NOT FAIR!!!

You know I have been reading some of these comments and they make me sick ............... they do if someone thinks that there step father didnt rape his x wife because she was married to him that child must be sick because RAPE is RAPE i dont care if they were lovers for years if she says no that means NO and I just cant get over how some people think others didnt do the crime they were charged for ask yourself do you really know the person do you know everything about them or do you think you know because nobody ever really knows anyone my mother has been with her boyfriend over 11 years and she doesnt believe her boyfriend raped me or my siblings but personally I think people are sick not to believe something a child said because its not like they can make it up or anything I didnt tell till I was 17 but the point is when you think you know someone you really dont know them at all and people make me sick
Posted by: Oldtimer on November 18, 2007 at 09:43 am
I wouild agree with you to the degree that there are people who are in "denial" about rape. It is often too painfule (IMHO) for some married partners to face the fact that their spouse could be guilty or raping a grandchild or child. Denial is used to keep from dealing with the issue. I knew a family that all slept in the same bedroom on matresses. The husband was having sex with the daughter while the mother slept nearby. The mother constantly denied that her daughter could be getting raped. This was another "home schooled" situation, which keeps the child from talking to authorities about the constant sexual activity. The state on the other hand puts its head in the sand concerning home schooling as a tool to isolate children.

i dont understand how the whole justice system works to protect the innocent. i'm from new york and my brother moved to PA with his fiancee to be closer to her family. well right before they moved my brothers fiancee's daughter claimed that he had molested her little sister, in hopes (which she admitted) to breakin them up because she didn't want them together. she lives with her dad who has full custody of her and her sister, but she had it set that she could get her parents back together. well when it came to interviewing her sister about the alleged "molesting" she came forth and admitted that they lied about it in hopes to split my brother and their mother up....all charges were dropped obviously due to false allegations. my brother and his fiancee moved to PA and being the caring and understanding brother he is, he let the girls come into their home for to spend the summer with their mom...in hopes to start fresh and put the hurtful past behind them. in the end, it didn't work out and their mom sent them back to new york and her oldest was extremely upset and claimed to her dad that my brother raped her several times while she was down in PA. it ended up goin to court and the judge didn't take anything into consideration...he would not even look at the police report stating there were false allegations before against my brother. and there was not physical proof my brother did anything to her. it was her word against his. when someone goes to court on charges you are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, but my brother had to go to court and prove he was innocent. how does that work? i know there are sex offenders out there, but i'm 100% that there are a great deal of innocent people serving time for crimes they didn't commit. my brother would have received 25 years max for the charges against him...but he ended up only receiving 5 years because he had to plea bargin...and he only plea bargined because there was no chance and he would have be sentenced less time. i dont think the justice system is fair at all. i do believe that SO's can change, i do believe there are repeated SO's but now my brother has to register as one and he isn't even one. how embarassing and humilating can that be for someone?

While we were married and having our own children, my spouse molested 4 young innocent girls. He plead guilty to several counts of corruption and indecent assault. Since then I have been fighting over custody with him. Did you know in PA Convicted Sex Offenders have all their parental rights in PA after Parole is done? I have spent over 50 grand to protect my children and others. The judge has played the game of no physical custody to partial physical custody for my spouse. The judge gave him shared legal custody from the beginning and it hasn't changed. This means that he has the right to be at our kids functions, school events and more and that's where other potential victims of his are and some of them might be your kids. I am starting to get a group together to start petition PA Law to make changes when it comes to Sex Offenders and custody of their children. I do understand SOs who have been 18 and were charged with molestation of their girlfriend is different (i don't include if they raped).
Some laws need to be that once a person has plead guilty or been convicted as a Sex Offender this person must be immediately reported to CYS. CYS must report to the Offenders children's other parent so they are made aware (because sometimes they don't know). Their legal custody of their children should be permanently terminated. If a sex offender can't decide not to offend how can they make decisions for children? any children?

when I was about to turn 10 years oold my sister told me that I was going to have the best birthday ever. And the same day I turn 10 years old she told me to stay home with her husband while she went shopping. I got raped by him { that was my special birthday present} And he kept raping me for 2 years. My sister and her husband treated me like a dog. When i didnt move the right way or did exactly what the porn star on the movie was doing I was punish. Had my hands and feet tied up and I needed to sit next to a German Shepperd ina very small closet. Me and the dog needed to eat the same food, and yeah they used to throw me the bones after they were done eating. He did the same thing to my sister daughter.
but the point is that they both are free, He is a free men. Is not register as an offender and the only thing they ask for him is not to be around underage girls. But guess what he used to molest boys too. I'm happy that I went to trial because I didn't want to be just one more that hides a secret. But at the end, I think is not worth it, because they keep moving on with their lifes like nothing happened. And I got paralyzed for the rest of mines. Is true if you dont have money you are just one more number.

why? My nephew was found guilty at age 13 of sex offenses against my child, the case was trasnfered to the state he lives in (Maryland) Pennsylvania never followed his case, they transfered it to maryland and never watched him or his case, He is now 15 and involved in sending and recieving child porn, he is sexually active and takes pictures of the girls naked and then sends them to other minors he knows on line and text messages. I have reported his behaviors and my concerns to PA Juv.service and probation, I have contacted the DA's office in Pennsylvania, and child services in Maryland, No one does anything. He has reoffended in Pennsylvania and again Pennsylvania did nothing. What else has to happen? How many more victims are needed? I warned about him 2 years ago, I am warning now, he is a sexual preditor and will rape if not stopped. Why isn't anyone doing anything? Why hasn't he been charged with child porn? Why didn't he have to register as an offender? It shouldn't matter the age of the offender, Once they offend they should have to be on the list, sex offence doesn't go away, it's not a pair of shoes they out grow. They will always be offenders, the world has a right to know who they are and what they have done.
Posted by: Oldtimer on February 15, 2008 at 10:47 am
Kids do things. I do not believe the police are dropping the ball on your nephew, but rather that he has not crossed the line in a way that they can legally charge him. Then again, there is the possibility that they are watching who is connected to, to see where the photos are coming from.
It sounds like you have done what you feel is right. Just keep a watchful eye, but also don't get neurotic about what is happening if you don't have all the facts. (IMO) Maybe I don't understand the whole story on this one, either.

ok this is weird, but her goes. My older brother was convicted of a sex offense in Iowa and has dome his time, it has been over 15 years and now lives in pa. he is registered and now has trouble finding housing. Is this discrimination? does he legally have to tel the lanlord of his past or is it his right not too. and if he does not tell them do they have the righ to evict him? please help on this.
Bill, (IMO) he would have to consult with an attorney in his state as to his rights. Considering what I have found out so far, the states are saying it is ok to deny the constitutional rights of an offender because it is being done in the name of "safety of the general public". This is changing however. First of all, as the public finds the registry does not provide "safety" from offenders. People are beginning to see that the laws as they now stand are set up to "punish", rather than provide "safety". If your brother has no money, he might seek out pro bono information or look for a charity law organization. Good luck.

I want to know why people that commit sexual offenses get off with the charge of a lesser offense? I want to know why the child is the one to blame and when it comes into court, the wife knows the whole time that it has been happening and she takes the husbands side...it is bullshit. If they are going to be like that, I think the other person should be charged right along with the person doing it to their child or step child. Then the person moves on like nothing happened and more children become in harms way. This should be stopped whether the woman takes the mans side or not.
