Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry Wisconsin's Sex Offender Registry is maintained by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections Sex Offender Registration Program, commonly referred to as SORP. On June 1, 1997, Wisconsin Act 440, the Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification law, became effective, allowing for the collecting and dissemination of information related to certain sex offenders.

	Thanks for all the work on this site. I was surprised I work with some of the people listed and thought I knew them well. But I'm not here to judge I do'nt know if I can be around a person that has hurt a child or other person. But I'm glad I know what if I would have left my grandkids with them and something happened?Thanks for the info.

	I had trouble with this link, if the law would like us to know of the sexual offenders that roam the towns and cities that we live in then they should just make these link more better to get into and not all these registration of z/c and all... By the time I figure out this link a child of had been abducted or molested or rape.

	ya i go to a highschool....why is a third degree sex offender alowed to work at my school? girls walk around by themselves when its dark out... no one likes it but hey what can school girls do?

Posted by: Concerned (not registered) on January 19, 2006 at 07:51 pm
	Why would you have sex offenders of children live near schools and areas where children go..? Doesn't make sense to me.

Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on January 26, 2006 at 02:53 pm
	Shouldn't the offense be listed, even if the person was deemed not guilty by mental illness? How does anybody know what type of behavior was ellicited by the person on the registry. Additionally whether or not children were involved and need to be monitored.

	what is the law regarding where sex offenders can live, work, or frequent? there is a sex offender that lives next to a licensed home daycare, and less than 1000 feet from an elementary school.....

	I am very happy that you have a network such as this one. I have just found out that I have a sexual offender living next to me and I have daughters. Thank you and keep up the good work. I can't stand the thought of the perverts that would hurt God's children. Thanks again

	You are only getting one side of the story. There are many reasons why people are on these sites, including false accusations filed and the courts still make these guys register.

Posted by: Neko (not registered) on March 26, 2006 at 10:40 pm

Thank you very much for this information. One of my close friends, a young girl of 18, just decided to look up her current boyfriend (30). She saw the sex offense in his record, and came here. While I hope and pray that the nature of his offense was non-violent, it still tells me much. We are very supportive of our friend, and this information has been very helpful. Now she can get away from him before she too becomes a victim.

I agree that this site is good, but people also have to know the differences in the degrees that these people are charged with. For example my husband is on this site and for what his situation was it is nothing to be compared to the people that are hurting young childeren or are raping people. some people on this list messed up one time or was lied to by their victim about their age. Alot of people that look at this site should sit back and think about when their first time thay had sex and how old their partner was, everyone would then probably on this site for a sex crime. I'm not oking that sex crimes are ok, but in a very few cases like my husbands it was an age difference issue, he was 18 and his vitim lied and told him she was 17, but really was a couple of months from 16. So if you do WORK or KNOW someone on this list you really cant judge if you dont know that facts or what the degrees their charged for really mean. People need to really think and know the meaning for what the person is charged for before they judge them. Yes there are alot of sick people on the list, but there are also people on here that had situiations like my husband.

	The crime should be more detailed- a simple "sex crime" descriptor does not inform the pulblic of the degree of danger these men/women present.

Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on May 02, 2006 at 09:39 am
	I find it sickening that they can live accross from elementary schools in town and not have rules against how close they can live from children when they have a history of assault against kids.

Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on May 31, 2006 at 11:36 am
	First of all, I want to say that I think the crimes should be more specified. For example, if a couple of teenagers had sex,and one of them was under the age of 16, then say so. I am sure not all of the persons listed on this site are sick child hunting perverts. If you are, then you deserve to be known as one! Also, make it more clear if the person is a violent rapest.

Posted by: R (not registered) on June 07, 2006 at 11:24 pm

i think it is total bs the way these websites and local newscasters and papers make these people look. I am an alleged victim of a sex crime, only one thing, there was no crime. the person was/ is like a brother/friend to me, but people always have to assume things and make proposturous accusations. its rediculous! another thing is, parents never want to look at there kids. they lie about there age, and use older guys to get rides or money. they take advantage of nice people, and then they find out these girls' real ages while they are being arrested. there are many different situations that you idiots have no idea about. i'm positive if you are on this site, somebody you know is a sexual offender, or has been at some point in there life. before you condemn somebody, get THEIR story. not the story of some girl who took advantage of a guy's trust, heart, and spirit. dont always blame the guy. for once, take a good hard look at the girl, and tell her to learn to keep her legs closed. i'm sure its easier for some girl to scream rape or say he took advantage of her than admitting to her parents that she isn't an innocent little girl anymore. think when you read these. think about the other person, too, and if you don't, you make me sick.

	Thank you for this site; it is very helpful & informative. What a sad shame that children are harmed this way. God bless the victims & the offenders allso. May they learn by their mistakes and make amends to socirty. I have 5 young grandchildren.

	Even though i've never fallen vitim to a sex offender i'm typing this message because i want america to know that there are some bad people out i've been getting phone calls from a girl or guy asking me ?'s in wisconsin. They said they wanted me. the caller ID. always said "withheld" so i'm just saying is to watch what you say to any unfamiller voice (STAY SAFE)

I think this web site is great. I have 2 young children and I like to check in to see if any predators are living in my area and to look at their pictures. Just to be cautious. On the other hand I have read all the other comments and agree not to condemn everyone you see on this site. I know of one that was wrongfully accused . I also know of one who was molesting his grandaughters for years. Sick!!Learn the degrees of assault and learn which ones to be aware of.

	everyone is so worried about having info on sex offenders granet I my self have kids but doesn't it bother you one bit that the state is not willing to post a web site for rapest and murders I know I want to know if I am living next door to some one who could have raped or killed some one as well as drug dealers those people are just as much a threat to my kids as sex offenders

Posted by: Dalia Gonzalez. MS (not registered) on August 23, 2006 at 05:56 pm

I just want everyone that visits this site to know that my father is on this list, but at false accusation. He is not a "sexual predator!" I haven't seen or heard from my father in 6 years. I have graduated high school and grown into a woman since then. Because of some chick accusing my father of rape he has done almost 5 years in the WI prisons for something he didn't do. He is also being held by Immigration's because he wasn't born in the US, but he is a citizen. He has 2 grown children and 1 baby, but we have to live with the fact that our father is going back to a communist country and we'll never be a part of his life anymore!

	I wish there would be a search feature by county and not just zip code.

Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on September 05, 2006 at 02:09 pm

Our jails and prisons are full of innocent people. I spent 1 year,1 month and 1 day in the county jail, total, because a young girl quoted what she had witnessed at home between her Mother and Father and her Mother and her boyfriends. When this was reported to the Police, the Police did no investigation at all. They questioned me then immediately turned it over to the D.A. My Attorney spent hundreds of my Dollars with his investigations and after the jury was chosen, turned everything over to the D.A. and sat back like a coward. I learned later that my attorney was afraid of juries. It hurts to be looked at like I am and to be treated like I am because people will beleave stories they know nothing about. When I was younger, I remember my Mother telling me " Beleave none of what you hear and half of what you see".

Posted by: a wife (not registered) on September 22, 2006 at 06:19 pm
	I agree this website is beneficial, but before we cast judgement we must remember that some of these offenders are young adults that had sexual contact with their minor girlfriends. This happens whether we choose to believe it or not. I am totally for the registry as it can protect our children, but as with all people we can group them as a whole.

Posted by: enep (not registered) on September 22, 2006 at 06:27 pm

As far as the question posted about "these people" living near schools or places children go. There are rules which are followed, and the police department is notified of there move. As far as referring to them as these people that is so wrong. Those people are husbands, brothers and a child of someone who loves them. The judgement is based on what you think you know, but in some cases what you know is not correct. This site is beneficial if used properly, but not everyone on here is a sexual predator. Some had a sexual encounter with a young partner, or were lied to. Why should all the blame be on one person. What about the young teen that lied about her age?

Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on October 13, 2006 at 04:06 pm
	back in my day we didnt have to worry about these things as much because no one did anything about it anyway so now that we have all these fancy web sites i think it is great for all the young people to have a site were they can check where every body is all the time so they can keep safe...

Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on October 24, 2006 at 07:35 am

My son is 14, convicted of sexual contact with a 12 year old. When he turns 18, he will be put on this list until he is 32 years old. His life will be ruined before it even begins, because he was honest with police when ask about the event. No violence, consenual act, no intercourse. Think before you judge. He has already tried to kill himself with the prospect of this stigma hanging over him as he tries to start a life. If you are going to list these men. Their offense needs to be listed to a degree that the common person can understand if they are indeed a threat to society.

Posted by: Barb Williams (not registered) on October 28, 2006 at 12:05 pm

I know there are sexual predators out there. I also know that those who made a mistake because a girl lied about her age are also considered sexual predators. I think this site should look closer at the circumstances and not put everyone on here that actually did not do anything ever again after the first offense and nothing really happened. We treat all sex offenders the same. I am not saying they shouldn't be punished, but others punish them constantly. I know one who is a good husband and father and is still being punished for a mistake he made when he was a teenager. For this type of offense they should put a statute of limitations.

Posted by: GA (not registered) on October 31, 2006 at 03:38 pm
	You people need to get a life. Why dont you just watch after your kids, dont let them hang out with other people. Have a open line of communication with your kids. This registry is a hyped up joke because its a HOT TOPIC issue! I would prefer to have a sex offender living next to me than a crack dealer. Why? The re offence rate is soooo less than drugs, or violent acts. think about it.

Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on November 02, 2006 at 12:29 am

Why don't we just all watch our own children? Well, my father, my brother, a babysitter and likely a couple of my uncles abused me. Tell me, please, how watching your children would have prevented any of that? I'm now 45 years old, have severe post traumatic stress disorder and dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality disorder) in addition to a chronic, fatal, genetic illness. I haven't spoken to my family for over a year now, finally, and am doing better physically than I ever have. My parents had 4 children, none of which had children of their own. My mother used to say, 'I love you kids, but if I had it to do over, I wouldn't have kids.' And she wonders why she doesn't have grandkids? Perhaps it's because none of us trust them enough to be around young children? Or trusted outselves enough to do a better job than our parents did. I knew at age 15 I wouldn't have kids of my own. A diagnosis of cystic fibrosis gave me a socially acceptable excuse to not have kids, thank goodness. Not that it would have made a difference. I wouldn't give my parents the opportunity of being involved with any kids I might have had. They did a lousy job with me, I sure as heck wasn't going to allow them to screw up a second time. And yet, if you met my parents, you'd think they were okay. They always have been able to put up a nice looking facade for the world. It's what goes on behind closed doors that we need to be afraid of. There are people that think the world of my father. If only they knew...

	It is silly that some men are on this list, one whom I know personally, and the others i imagine based on the other comments I've read. But everyone posting needs to realize, if you are so angry about it, a post here wont do anything. Someone strong willed and smart needs to do something for the ones whose pictures shouldn't be posted for life.

Posted by: Eric Raymond (not registered) on November 18, 2006 at 07:06 pm
	Well I wish this site would have been available when I was charged with a crime for acting out against the person who raped me when I was 12 years old. I have located him on this site but it is to late now. I just hope he will not attack any more kids. He is living in Madison. Thank god I moved. Eric

	There are a number of offenders in Whitewater, active or otherwise, living within a block or less of all three schools, Elementary, Middle and High. Why are these people allowed anywhere near our children? Once a predator, always a predator. Even an expert will tell you the chance of rehabilitation of an offender is less than 10%. Keep them away from our kids!!!

Posted by: Aware Now (not registered) on December 04, 2006 at 03:10 pm

If you want to beleive that there are "innocent" convicted sex offenders on this list than please, at the very least, keep your children away from them. Don't sacrifice your children's innocence for your foolishness. Our family went through living hell to convict the teenager that raped our daughter in her daycare. No one is going to put their family through the nightmare of the courts without a damn good reason. And the judge that decides to put the offender on the registry does look at the nature of the crime. This "I'm innocent, she lied" theory is the lie the offender is feeding you to have access to your body, or worse, your children. Wake up, grow up, understand the danger before it is too late.

Posted by: up north (not registered) on February 22, 2007 at 09:07 am

I myself was convicted of a rape I did not commit. After three years in prison includeing a out of state transfer to Texas the DNA evidence FINALLY proved my innocence. So after three years of my life being wasted because a woman LIED who was 35 at the time and I was 25 because she didnt want her husband to think she was sleeping around. When the DNA came out the judge issued a order for my IMMEDIATE release. I did NOT get any compensation for the years of my life wasted, and the woman who LIED destroying my life has had NOTHING happen to her, NO repercussions for her LIE. Now that my innocence has been proven I am STILL listed on the registry for life although I have personally sent the court papers to the SORP clearing my name. It has been a nightmare, and a huge legal battle to try and be removed from the registry. I am 110% for protection of the public, and our children, but this legal system through the SORP does at times take things to the extream. Point is that once the accusation is made, even if it's proven false alot of people on here have had their lives ruined with no recourse, and the forever stigma of "sex offender" on their record. Please THINK before you judge.

Someone should stand up and have these laws changed judges need to learn how to charge some of these people correct. I was molested as a child the age of 8 it started thats a child molester he robbed my childhood. The person that molested me is still doing his time over ten years now to me should of been longer hell hang him for all I care. I have a friend charged with the same thing but he was charged because he was 18 an his girlfriend was 16 she got pregnate so they had to "make an example" out of him. He stayed with her for years after that even had another child with her but he is still considered a child molester makes no sense to me. Most girls at 16 an 17 know what there doing. I know I did these laws are just so unfair sometimes. The judges charge people unfair and what I've noticed it's mostley black males here that get charged with it

The monitoring of this registry is no different than probation/parole. Just like p/p, the system is bogged down due to case load and staffing being overworked. I personally know a lifetime registrant (of the violent nature) who has been non-compliant since the day he stepped out of prison four months ago (it's been posted as such on the registry for the last two months), yet, he continues to walk the streets. No warrants or anything. Sooner or later, they MAY decide to do something, but these are the loopholes that allow some to lurk around unnoticed. Everyday that nothing is done gives the offender the sense that they are being ignored... which may lead to re-offending.

	Hey up north- Why don't you post your name so we can check on wisconsin circuit court access to see that your conviction was thrown out. I think you are full of it! If your conviction was overturned, you would be taken off the registry. If you are so proud that you are NOT a sex offender, post your name. If not, it's good your information is posted on the sex offender registry.

Do you think it should be illegal for sex offenders to work at the UW Colleges? There are highschool students that attend enable to get a headstart, and a lot of young college boys & girls. Not to mention the dorms are right there too. We had this discussion in one of my classes, I know for sure there is one at UW Marathon, and my teacher told us there are five or six at UW Madison. We pay for our education, shouldn't our saftey be considered too? I find it to be disturbing, and I never stay late to study.

I know of a Sex offender that lives in Siren or Webster,Wi that is not registered because he was charged befor 12/93. Just to let all know that live or work around this man. His name is Thomas Cagle, he may go by Marion Thomas Cagle also he is also married to Maxine Cagle. He is a repeat offender. I have documented proof that he sexually molested his daughters and sons and his grandaughters. Just to let anyone know to be aware of who you are surrounded by and that does not have to register because they fall through loop holes.

Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on May 26, 2007 at 06:04 am

you know, i just sat here and read all the comments laid out by persons from both side of this conflicting subject of whethter this site is good or bad. I myself am a convicted sex offender. I made the mistake of having a relationship with someone under the age of 18, i was 22 at the time. did I rape her? no. did her parents know? yes. My case was brought in front of the courts shortly after the Megan Law went into effect. It was the DA who chose to press the charges against me not her parents.Its been well over a decade since I went to prison (Green Bay Correctional). When people find out that I'm a SEX OFFENDER they right away assume I raped someone or that i fondled little kids. The fact that the state of Wisconsin does not create different laws dividing these cases into individualized situations in which to judge seperately based upon the crime committed. The sex offense i committed is one that has been happening through out history of relationships between a minor and an adult. How many people reading this can say that they havent been in a relationship with either someone who was of age or were the adult in such a relationship? Yes, i do believe that a web site informing the communities of sex offenders is a great idea but there are those of us that dont deserve to be on that such list. I now have daughters of my own and they are my whole world but the rest of my life i am to register for a crime thats not really a crime worth suffering for for the rest of my life for.

Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on June 01, 2007 at 02:45 pm

The registry is awesome. My ex is a sex offender and knowing where he is is knowing where he is not. I cant believe people would be against it. Someone who says "well what if you have had consensual sex with someone you did not know their age?" Or "my son/daughter is a minor and now his life is ruined"..well you know what..first off if you mess with a child you dont deserve rights period especially rights to be around children even your own. 2nd If your preadolescent child is having sexual contact with younger kids he/she has serious issues and needs serious attention and has a pretty good chance of being a sex offender if not helped. People should be aware of him/her like anyone else on a registry because they are a threat to other children. 3RD keep your damn pants zipped until you know everything about a person. I'm sorry but if a person doesnt look over 20 you shouldnt be messing with them until you are absolutely positively 150% sure of their age. The whole "I didnt know their age" line is bu**sh**. The only people I've heard state the registry is inhumane or unfare were sex offenders, my ex included. Some might say well it opens doors for that sex offender to be harrassed or asaulted. Well ya should have thought about that before you messed with a child. Hopefully just the idea of the registry is stopping a lot of offenses and forcing them people to seek the needed help instead. The ones who cant control themselves despite the consequences of being on a national sex offender's registry NEED TO BE ON A REGISTRY. Thankyou so much for the Sex offender registry!

Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on June 01, 2007 at 02:52 pm
	..I would also like to add that maybe some of these people need to learn how to read. The registry (at least the wi registry does) lists what degree the offense is and if it is against a child or not and wether the child is under a certain age. Really doesnt get any more fare than that.

This is a very good site, i am a father of 5 and its good to be able to look up people who for one reason or another give you a feeling of uneasiness. That being said, i am also on this site. I was convicted of 2nd degree sexual assault in 1988. My victim was my 16 yr old girlfriend. It was consentual sex, there was no viloent act. I was 18 and sent to prison for 5 years. I understand why people think that everyone on the site is a horrible person, but to be real, there are ALOT of people on this site that shouldnt be, or shouldnt be "life time' registrants. I have lost jobs, been evicted from apartments, verbally and physically attacked. One more thing ( and I hope that some of you actually read this far and sit back and think about it). I was forced to go to a sex offender class when I was released, I was the only man in the class that had a charge like mine. The other men in the class had done horrible, violent, perverted things and I was mad and sickened every week. By the time I had finished the class 4 men had reoffended, I was not one of them. I have never reoffended and never would, lets be real how many of you have ever had a older/younger gf or bf in highschool? Think about it, to be honest I dont think there are "innocent" people on the site, but there are people who dont belong there. I have never in my life since being convicted, denied that I broke a law, I just think that the laws need to be changed.

I like the link alot. I am a victim..I got raped for over 6 years when I was a child by my mom's boyfriend. Yeah I belive that some people may be inoccent, but the people that have taken everyone of those childrens childhood should pay alot more than what they do. The guy that raped me got put in prison when I was 14 and got out when I was 18! And now he is out there, and I have to admit I am affraid to death of him! Everyone has the right to know about a sex offender. I now have two children of my own and WOULD NOT want anything to happen to my kids at all. It sickens me to see all these people out there and basicly getting away with it. They should get alot more than a few years in jail...you cant get your childhood back why should they beable to live a normal life. They need to be ashamed of what they did. PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN LET THEM KNOW WHAT IS OUT THERE! MAKE SURE THEY KNOW THEY CAN TALK TO YOU IF ANYTHING HAPPENS!

I understand your pain my son is going through alot of rough times, and has even tried to kill himself because of being molested, and he is now 10 years old, it happened with him at 9 years old. I hope that there is Therpy you can get somewhere so you can feel better, I know you will not heal totaley, but at least there is someone you can talk too. Alot of people who are not vic... do not understand the pain someone goes through when they are molested as a child, or sexually hurt as a teenager, or even a adult, and those are the comments vic... should either respond too, or just plain out ignore. I wish you the best of Luck, and I hope in time you will get better. Tammy (Hexgirl)

Society as a whole has to start looking at crimes from a violence prospective. A sexual crime against an innocent victim is THE most violent crime there is. Since we know from studies, sexual offenders in a true sense, can never be rehabilited. I'm not talking about underage consentual sex acts. While the prisons are busting at the seams with people who's crimes didnt hurt or harm anyone, they continue to allow these sexual deviants back into a society that doesnt want or need them. Until the law and society starts looking at a crime from a "violence" standpoint and starts sentencing people accordingly, nothing will change. Sexual preditors will be in our neighborhoods and among us in society and I'm glad to have this web site to help keep my family safe!

After reading all the comments posted on this subject I felt compelled to add my own. First off, it's been proven over and over again that deviant sex offenders can not be rehabilitated. Now I'm not talking about the 20 year old guy who had consentual sex with his 18 (16) year old girlfriend. I'm talking about a person who willingly goes out to "hunt" down another, in order to violate them. Especially children! When is society going to see that we have to start rating crimes on a violence scale and then punishing accordingly? If we know that no amount of counseling or prescriptions or rehabilitation is going to help sexual offenders, why let them out in the first place? The prisons are busting at the seams but why should a sexual offender be any different than a murderer? Only difference I see is that murder victim got to go to heaven.....the sex offenders victim has to live hell on earth for the rest of their lives. I guess all you defenders of these criminal sicko's have never been or never had a loved one who was sexually abused. If so, I doubt you'd be so quick to defend them. They made a choice and now have to live with the consequences of their actions what ever that might be....public ridicule, jail time...whatever! I'm glad to have this web site. If we cant keep 'em in prison, the public needs to be informed!

	David J. Zitske of Appleton is a child molester as is his son Robert J. Zitske now residing in Arizona for fear of being prosecuted in the State of Wisconsin. Of course they are innocent, what pervert would confess to deviate behavior.

	With all this great technology - Isn't there a way to divide the Child Molestors out of the group of Sex offendors? Wouldn't people like to know which offenders go with which crimes so that you can watch out for your male or female children, or Adults can watch out for those who have gone after Adults? Or are not an adult preying on children?

Up North... Please read.... I believe what you have said is possible - No need to post your name....... I have a friend who was accused and convicted of 2nd degree sexual assault - the Judge took everything into consideration - the fact that the man was accused by his wife of something she was going out and doing with a different married man well, I don't even think it was taken into consideration - she accused him, he was drunk and has no memory of it - other than slapping her accross the face for continually "dating" a coworker for 5 years while in a motel room on "work-related" business Then he was told he was facing 30 years - He was given a deal - no sex offender registry, 9 months jail and 4 years probation - Guess what - He is placed on the Registry by a parole officer - What a deal eh? He cannot afford an attorney to assist him - I wrote to the Judge who said he cannot help but that he should get an attorney - okay, with what? How difficult is this to bear a SCARLET LETTER when you believe you didn't do something that you were accused of doing? So difficult it takes your whole life away.... It affects everything in your mind, your heart, your whole life - Can I go and get everyone who touched me inappropriately on this list? Can everyone who has had a sexual relation when they are not of age be posted on this list? JUST IMAGINE ALL THE GREEN LICENSE PLATES!

	Kenneth Richard Tarr JR. Is a registered sex offender. He lives just a few blocks from Concordia Elementary and Shulte Elementray Schools in Sturtevant (Racine county)WI. His record cannot be pulled up because it is a juvenile offense but I fell it is important for people to know as his offence was for molesting of young girls and he is living near schools.

This site needs to require current photos. Some of the photos for my area are years old. One does not even have a picture. They should be required to submit a current photo yearly. People change with time, change hair, grow or cut off facial hair, get glasses or contacts.. so on.. It would be easy to alter their looks, so how do I know if the elderly man that has been sitting in a car and watching the kids come and go at a local grade school is one listed here. The photos are not accurate.

This sight is great as it does offer a forum for everyone concerend with this issue. I am on the registry myself, but to look at it on the face it is taken totally out of context. Years ago I was a naive 24 year old who in a drunk'n stupor was seduced by a 40 year old woman. When it was found out that we were together she lied and screamed RAPE so her husband wouldn't divorce her. The fact of the matter is that we NEVER actually had sex, and after three years of prison, and new evidence the judge realized this and released me from prison by his order early on a "time served" basis. Now many years later I am involved with a wonderful woman, and have children of my own, yet still remain on the registry, and feel persucuted at every turn. In short I feel like the victim here...all I'm saying is think, and try and get the real story before you judge, but at the same time DO be VERY watchful, as haveing been in "the system" I know first hand that there are alot of SICK SICK people out there

why is that all s/o are charge by society to be only crimanils towards children. A why is that the U.S. say the dont condoen the harrassment that the ciminal gets and there family. But in all realism the family is tried and convicted by there community and society. the children are harrassed contiously. I am a sexoffender And I am not proud of what I did along time ago. My crime was towards an adult not a child .Yet when people say that you are a sex offender they atomaticly think its towards a child and this is wrong. therefore society should be taught of whats the difference and our lawenforcement too. My child is being harrassed and punished by the community for somethiong I did before she was even born . so I guess society is the crimnal here .

Posted by: Beth (not registered) on October 21, 2007 at 10:59 am

First of all let me say I am a wife of a s/o on this registry. My husband and I have been together for 10 years and we have three children. He is the most loving father and incredible husband. When he was 18 he was lied to by a younger girl about her age. When her mother found out about their relationship, she pressed charges. Those of you who say that a guy can't be lied to or should be smarter....have you seen any of the young girls out there today?? I can't tell if some of them are 13 or 18. And if you don't think girls are capable of lying.....guess again!!! And for the men out there....you know what 18 year old hormones are like. Should he have been having sex at that age??? Probably not, but who am I to judge. Most kids are having sex by the age of 15, whether you would like to admit it or not! Anyway, I don't think that it is fair that he is on this list and has been for the last 16 years...and will be for 2 more. We have been ostracized by neighbors and parents of schoolmates of our children. My husband is the furthest thing from a monster that you could find. I do see the benefit of this website (being a mother myself). But I think that the state really needs to focus on putting only the offenders on here that we need to be concerned with. I would put money on the fact that the judges that put most these people on these websites had a teenage sexual relationship of his/her own. I also think that 3/4 of the adults I know could be on this website for the same reason. It just isn't right. Please get the story of the person in question before judging them. Don't make their children pay for something that their father did before they were even born. For something that wasn't even a crime to begin with.

I feel that because of one bad apple, all must suffer. i believe with all the recient news, teachers having sex with their students, priests molesting young boys, the laws have become rediculously strict. I feel, is someone who commits an act of what the state would call sex offense, and if the person who had convicted the offense is either 18 or 19 and it is just an age difference, the convicted offender should only be guilty of a misdemeanor, however if the state feels it is worthy of a felony, so be it, but I feel life time registration for those persons who were 18 or 19 with only an age difference as the result of the crime, that person should NOT have to register as a sex offender. I mean come on, why should someone have to pay for the rest of their life for what they did when they were 18 or 19 years old? Especially if this was the first time they were convicted as a felon. I do feel there is a need to protect the children and people of this great nation, but there is a limit to over kill. What is the difference between a 19 year old boy (listen to the word nineTEEN) who had sex with a 15 year old girl compared to a 40 year old man having sex with a 15 year old girl? A lot on the terms of morals, but little when it comes to sentence. The 19 year old may only get a year or two in jail whle the 40 year old will get years in prison. But the outcome is still the same. Both are convicted felons of 2nd degree sexual assault and both will have to register on the sex offenders registry for a LIFE TIME! There is NO WAY that a 19 year old should have to be punished for this whole life because of one mistake he made when he was 19. The 40 year old...personally...can rot in hell and be on that sex offender registration. I feel this is what ALL should believe and I am willing to take this matter to a motion of a committee so that our governor will see this is a problem with out society. That we are too harsh and too quick to judge and punish without looking on the repercussions.

Our daughter was molested by a 65 year old private piano teacher for six or more years. She was under 16 at the time. He pleaded no contest because there was enough evidence to convict him on four felony accounts. He plea bargained down to one felony and got no jail or prison time. Now, he denies everything and is spreading around that the parents and daughter are doing this ... for what? Fun? It's taken our daughter a long time to come forward and face this issue. She never would have done that if there hadn't been a crime committed. So, don't think that this sex offender list is a "little matter". If a jury or judge finds these people guilty, which is why they are on this list, they ARE GUILTY! And... they are very capable of doing it again. Just remember, these sex offenders are very subtle and do pull the "wool over people's eyes". You would never suspect or guess they are sex offenders. Even after convicted they are able to convince others that they are wonderful, and loving and kind citizens who wouldn't hurt a flea! That's why we have laws, and detectives and courts and juries and judges. That is why we have sex offender registries! I thank God for every one of these that are brought to justice. It just might protect even one other little girl, or encourage one more person to have the courage to come forward and stop one more molester. P.S. Consider the victim.... not the perpetrator!!

	I was recently released after five years in prison, I wanted to hook up with my sex offender buddies I had met in the joint before but wasn't sure I could find them. The registry program was an invaluable tool. I was able to locate every one of my registered sex offender friends with the up to date addresses and now we keep in close contact.

A 79-year-old nun was sentenced to one year in a county jail for sexually abusing two teenagers when she was their principal four decades ago in Milwaukee. Sister Norma Giannini avoided a trial by pleading no contest in November to two felony counts of indecent behavior with a child. The two male victims told the authorities they had dozens of sexual encounters with Sister Giannini, including intercourse

	You should have to have sex with someone or entice someone before being placed on this list. Also if the so called victim says that is not what happened and so does the parent and the defendent has denied it all along, maybe someone should be looking at the malicious prosecution of the case.

Posted by: JRG (not registered) on February 13, 2008 at 12:18 pm

I too am a wife a man who is required to register. I agree that people do not know all of the circumstances behind the charges. There are people and young kids that make up stories for attention and do not realize the impact that their accusations have. My husband has been living with this false accusation causing him to spend time in jail away from his family. His charges came in 1996. In 2000, the registry came to be and he was required to register since he was still on probation. What the public doesn't realize is that sex offenders are all thrown under the same heading and treated the same way whether there was accidental contact or full out rape. My husband is a NON-LEVELED offender meaning that he has been evaluated and it has been determined that he is the "least likely to reoffend". He is still treated the same way as other hard core rapists. This is NOT a justice system. Even murderers get treated better, at least they are taken on a case by case basis to determine their punishment. I have 3 children that I have to worry who knows about their dad and what is going to happen when others find out. I explain, because I was around. I was at the hospital with the supposed "victim" and I know that she lied...I know that our first instinct is to grab our children, but I wish people would take the time to find out the real story before judging.

You wonder why people who should be on are not, and why people who shouldn't be are??? It's all about the money people. They don't have to be accurate or discriminate between child predators and wrongly convicted. They just have to show the numbers that they are complying. It's not about keeping us safe, it's about getting money for their pet programs. How this bill will be paid for: The cost would be shared by the Federal Government and the states. The Federal Government would bear the cost of maintaining the national sex offender registry, and the states would bear the cost of supervising high risk offenders upon their release from prison. To ensure compliance with the bill, the legislation would reduce federal funding for prison construction by 25 percent for those states that did not comply, and would reallocate such funds to states that did comply. In the past, this funding has been used to help sustain various programs, including community policing and school liaison officers;Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.); zero-tolerance drug offender testing; and criminal justice record improvement. ByrneGrant money also contributed to funding personnel and vehicles formulion of jurisdictional drug teams, a money laundering investigative team, the Statewide Information System (STATIS), and Training and Coordinating Effort(TRACE) for narcotics investigation training. In addition, Byrne Grant funding was awarded to county prosecutors for training, equipment, and personnel costs.

I've gone thru some of the comments and statments, and it seems like there's one general consensus: there needs to be a more detailed way of seperating the types of offenders. Yes, the state "lumps" all offenders into one category, no matter the offense, and in doing so seemingly "innocent" people who aren't a threat to children or whoever are put into the same category with people who ARE a threat. I'm not sure for the reasoning, but it seems that there are enough wives, girlfriends, people who are accused or whatever, that if everyone were to get together and question it, it would make a difference. Maybe it's partly a matter of being a VERY time consuming ordeal to go thru each and every person and case and determine if they are a threat or not. If everyone were to get their voices together and question this, a change might come about. Or if not a change, then maybe an additional site can be designed and started to give the accused an opportunity to further go into detail about the situation and therefore making determining the threat a personal decision. After looking up and finding someone on the registered sex offenders list a person can go to the other site to get all the details on the case and decide for themselves. This may make situations for these "great dads and husbands" a little easier because the reason they had to register would be out there. Being a parent I'm very cautious and careful, but there is never such a thing as too much information in cases and circumstances such as these.

The fact is the president passed a law that was unconstitutional and threatened people they would lose funding if it was NOT signed. Ohio was the first to sign this. Now we have 35,000 RSO fighting this. It violates the double jepardy law and is breaking STATE binding contracts with the RSO who had no choice but to plea bargain as my fiance did. His act was proven in court it was NOT a sexually violent act there for was to be labled a sexual oriented offender and would have to register for 10 years, now he has to register for life when the court had already proved it was not a sexually viloent offence. Those were not the papers that were signed. This had to be done by 2009 what should have happened is anything after 2008 you must follow the new law. Not go back years after people had signed state binding contracts saying oh well instead of 3 yaers left you know have to do it for the rest of your life. That is a bunch of BS. My fiance has went on with his life and we have a daughter and he also has 2 children from a prievious marriage. It has NEVER been an issue with him being able to have contact with them even before I came into the picture he was allowed unsupervised visits. If it was such a big deal then he would not be allowed to see them.

Thank you for this site. I was molested a few years ago, and this site keeps me updated on his where abouts, and if he is compiant with the regestry. I wish there was some kind of way, legally, to take away all rights of a sexual molester, make them wear something, or have something in their yard.. Men/women like this shouldnt be able to have rights, they took something so special from someone, that we'll never get back. But, again, thank you for this site!

I have been dealing with this issue for almost 6 years - I married my husband AFTER his offense, and we got married while he was still going thru the 'court' process. He was found guilty and incarcerated for 3 years. We don't have small children in our home, but rather three ADULT children who definitely know what kind of man their father is. They also know what kind of slut the "victim" was. I worked my tail off to keep our life going while he sat bound by the state for 36 months; when he got out, we fought for residency, we fought for his job, we fought for his right to go to church, we fought for him to see his grandkids. I'm sick of fighting - I live with my husband day after day, I know the mess he got himself in, but I also know how hard he's working to get past this. Wisconsin is a state of farce, hypocrisy and judgment. We have a Governor who has no common sense, spends our money like there's no tomorrow - we have laws that allow children to do whatever they want with no consequences. The age of consent needs to be changed NOW! There's a 16 year old girl down south right now charged with killing her mom and two brothers, and they want to try her as an ADULT. But when it comes to sex, they are innocent children who can't make the decision to say yes or no. Yet they are old enough to have babies! We need to take these lying promiscuous teeny boppers who have nothing better to do than blab on their cell phones, throwing around false accusations, zip up their Tommy Hilfigers and ground them to their rooms until they're 30!!

I THINK all SEX OFFENDERS, RAPISTS, MOLESTERS, ETC. PEOPLE WHO CANT KEEP THERE NASTY HANDS AND %%%%S OFF OF CHILDREN. IT DOSENT MATTTER IF HE/SSHE IS 4, 10, 15,34,OR EVEN 100 YEARS OLD. YOU SHOULD NOT TOUCH ANYONE IF THEY DONT WANNA BE TOUCHED., OR FORCE THEM AGAINST THERE WILL. ESP. IF THE CHILD IS UNDER THE AGE OF 5 THAT IS SICK. YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS HOW THE CHILDS LIFE WILL TURN OUT TO BE,. THEY HAVE A REALD HARD TIME, AND EVERYTIME SOME ONE BRINGS UP, OH SO AND SO GOT RAPED OR A 5 YEAR OLD GOT MOLESTED, THAT PERSON FEELS ASHMAED AND LIKE SH&& CUZ OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM. YOU CAN NOT TAKE BACK OF WHAT YOU DID TO SOMEONE, THERE LIFE AND SEXUAL LIFE WILL BE RUINED. I MEAN A MAN/WOMAN WHO TOUCHES, FONDLES, RAPES, OR MOLESTES CHILDREN OR YOUNG ADULTS WHO HAVE DISABLITIES AND ARENT OLD ENOUGH TO SAY "STOP" OR "NO" ARE ONE SICK MESSED UP PERVERT, THEY SHOULD NEVER BE FORGIVEN. JESUS SAYS YOU CAN FORGIVE AND FORGET. I DONT THINK ANYONE WOULD FORGIVE THAT SOMEONE OF WHAT THEY DID TO THERE LIFE, AND ESP FORGET. A CHILD HAS A MIND THAT HAS GOOD MEMORY AT THE AGE 4 AND UP. A CHILD IS NOT GOING TO FORGET WHAT HAPPENED. WHEN THEY GET OLDER, THEY WILL HAVE FLASHBACKS, NIGHTMARES, FEAR OF MEN, OR FEAR OF WOMAN. THEY MIGHT TURN TO BEING GAY, OR BI-SEXUAL. THEY MIGHT NOT WANT TO HAVE KIDS BECAUSE THEY WERE TRAMITIZED AND ABUSED "DOWN THERE" THEY WOULDNT WANNA GET MARRIED CUZ THERE TO ASHMED OR EMBARRESED TO TELL THERE SOMEONE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM. AS FOR MY SELF. WHEN I WAS BETWEEN THE AGE 3-5 1/2 YEARS OLD, I WAS RAPED/MOLESTED BY SOMEONE WHO IS CLOSE TO MY BROTHER. EVER SINCE THATT STUFF HAPPENED, I WILL NEVER FORGET OR FORGIVE HIM TIL THE DAY I ROT 6 FEET UNDER. I HOPE HE ROTS IN PRISSON FOR TTHE NEXT 30 YEARS. AND NEVER GETS OUT. THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY. I FEEL SO SORRY FOR LITTLE GIRLS OR BOYYS OF WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH AND HAVE TO LIVE WITH FOR THE REST OF THERE LIFE. I RATHER HAVE TERMINAL CANCER THEN HAVE PEOPLE KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.

	I believe the phrase sex offender needs to be more defined! Right now a person can be arrested and charged as a sex offender for only talking sex with a coworker; all the way up to having raped someone. Problem is even if charged with the lesser crime, when other people see the words sex offender, they judge that person to be the worst person on earth.

I wanted to share how I truly feel that the classification of what it means to be a TRUE Sex Offender needs to desperately be redefined. These days, there are so many individuals being given "the label" that one isn't able to determine whom is a TRUE Sex Offender. A dear friend of mine now has to register as a Sex Offender until 2025 all because he engaged in sexual activity with minors whom stated to him that they were of the legal age, when in reality, they were not. I find it very frusterating that the men involved always seem to have to pay the price but the women often pay no price at all. In my opinion, if they choose to engage in sexual activity as minors and openly give consent, they are fully aware of what they are engaging in and should be prepared to deal with what may result from it. I feel they, too, should be held accountable for their actions. In my eyes, my friend will never be seen as a Sex Offender, not for a second.

i am a registerd sex offender because of a letter i wrote in 1997 when i was 19 to a girl who was 16 who i was in a relationship with while i was incarcerated in the prison system. we had considered our selves to be in a relationship and in love. she wrote me a letter contain intimate details so i wrote her one back. her parents intercepted the letter turned it in and i was charged with exposing a child to harmful material which back in 1997 was not considered a sex crime. well in 2000 when all of wisconsins laws changed my crime became a sex offense and i recieved a letter in the mail sating i now have to register with S.O.R.P. me and this girl never meet in person never talked on the phone our only means of communication was through the U.S. mail. So now because of words that were put on paper to someone i was in love with and only a 3 year age difference i know have to register for the next 15 years of my life. So why dont they go to all these high schools and arrest every 18 and 19 year old boy or girl who is dating someone younger and make them register.

Posted by: Oldtimer on September 11, 2008 at 09:39 am

MC: claiming innocence is sometimes just denial. (IMO) You are right, many offenders blame the victim...then again, this applies to many other crimes also! "The devil made me do it!" Another interesting thing to note is how offenders will say: "My crime was not as bad as...." Rape is rape; be the victim 13 or 31. No rape is good rape. It is difficult to admit you have done wrong, but as I have said all along: it is important for those who have paid for their crime and started clean lives to be left alone so that they can become productive members of society, again.

Over 13 years ago I was my way to my degree Education and my education was paid with via my athletic scholarship. I know now that I was suffering from depression at that point in my life which is no excuse for my lapse in judgment. I was approached by a student who came into the teacher’s bathroom at point when I was shaking. The student came on to me and I was in a state of shock and became an idiot at that point. I did not force or asked this student to meet me in the bathroom; she did however perform oral sex what seem like 20 seconds. Once I realized what was happening, I'd immediately stop this action and was at a loss of words, I did not know what to say or what to do or who to tell; so I ignored the student, the situation and acted as nothing happened (WRONG ANSWER). I proceeded to ignore this student until 8 weeks later I get a visit from the Sheriff. I had to answer to a claim of misconduct and that this happened on multiple occasions and that it had involved intercourse with this student. I came out and told the truth (which I've learned to ask for an attorney). There was no evidence it was only her word against mine and I convicted myself on tell the truth. So instead of a 5 ~ 10 year sentence based on my words, I Alfred plea all other charges and plead guilty to the sodomy. For all 7 charges that were all merged, I served 14 months in prison for a “Non – VIOLENT” sexual offense. This was solely my lack of judgment coupled with depression and I take full responsibility for the act. I know what happened was wrong and I should have had better judgment at 24 to refuse a promiscuous teenager to perform oral sex.

The other charges surprised me and my lawyer advised me to just take the 2 year plea and serve 14 months. I agree that I did something wrong, I should pay and I did, but should I and others like me be put into the same category as someone who "preys" on children. Should we have to bear the same scarlet letter as some who used force? On a 5 tier system I would label myself a level 1 (no risk) or level 2 (low risk). I did not coerce this student, I did not prey on this student, I did not ask the student for any sexual favor, I did not stop the act immediately and that was a serious and poor judgment call on my part has impacted my life forever. I believe each and every offender needs to be registered, I believe it is a good thing; however only the most dangerous and higher tiered offenders need to be on the websites. Only law enforcement officials should have access to lower tiered offender information and location. If they (politicians) are going to create Sex Offender Registries why just stop at Sex Offenders; if they want to base this on “public safety interest” then we need a national/state registries for DUI’s, Murderer’s and Assault’s and Child Neglect registries. This is nothing but fear and the government is using a 3006 to shoot an ant off a soda can 6 inches away from the barrel; causing more damage than good. Fear is replacing sound and rational judgment when they make these laws.

. I am sorry for what I did, I am sorry for what I allowed to happen in 1996. Can I please go one with my life; I paid my debt to the American society. Can me and my family become normal and blend in with every other dysfunctional family in America. If I could have the chance to speak with this student I would tell her I am sorry and that I should have stopped her. I agree with tougher laws, I agree with life sentence for a second offense, but the restrictions on offenders who are one time offenders is a plainly an overreach and overreaction to fear and ignorance. The LORD has blessed me to be very successful in spite of my felony. Should people like myself who are leading successful lives and have moved on continue to have this scarlet letter for our entire lives? Only referencing the no risk and low risk offenders...please respond.....

HEY, DID YOU ALL KNOW THAT NOT ALL SEX OFFENDERS RAPE LITTLE CHILDREN? DID YOU KNOW THAT NOT ALL SEX OFFENDERS LURK AROUND SCHOOL LOOKING FOR LITTLE CHILDREN? SOME SEX OFFENDERS, EVEN THOUGH ALL CATOGORIZED INTO ONE ARE NOT TERRIBLE HUMAN BEINGS. MY SON WAS 17, DATING A 15 YR OLD. NOT TOO UNCOMMON NOW IS IT? THEY WERE TOGETHER 8 MONTHS AND MUTUALLY WANTED TO HAVE SEX. DURING THESE 8 MONTHS, HE TURNED 18... PARENTS GOT MAD AT HIM ONE DAY BECAUSE THEIR DAUGHTER DIDNT WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL AND BOOM!! CALLED THE COPS , TOLD THEM THE STORY.. SEXUAL ASSAULT OF A MINOR--- PRISON TIME AND 8 YRS ON THE SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY. PEOPLE OPEN YOU EYES.. THEY NEED TO CLASSIFY THESE PEOPLE DIFFERENTLY. BUT... FOR NOW , THEY GET BASHED WITH ALL THE REST! UNBELIEVABLE!!

After reading the comments on this site, I truly do believe that it needs to be revised. Not only does this site need to be revised, but the "Sex Crimes" need to be redefined. Many, many of the comments here, talk about an adult male with a minor female in a consenual relationship; then someone decides to make one of those parties a sex offender. How about someone accused of Possessing Child Pornography on the web? They did not create it, sell it or buy it; it is readily available on the web to view. If that is all these people have done, are they truly a threat to society? We cannot assume that someone possessing child pornography may step it up to actually have contact with children. If they do, then they need to be punished accordingly. THE PUNISHMENT NEEDS TO FIT THE CRIME. Because someone possessed child pornography on the Web, they are now a registered sex offender and their life has changed forever, as has their families' lives. I do believe that we need to get together and force changes to be made. I would like our politicians to give their time to more important things.
