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

zip code search does not work. I tried several times entering the zip code and clicking the button and it creates an error page.

how can i get a picture of the offender on your web site?

I can't believe that some people just get out of jail after raping a little girl...

I can't belive some women are so sick that they get a person so drunk and strung out on drugs this person does not know what is going on and has her thirteen yr.old daughter messing with this man and then has him sent up for it.

i think that if a parent was on drugs or drinking,and there child gets hurt,they should be punished to some degree for what they did to contribute to the problem,and lets not just say women alot of men have did the same thing it dosent matter who,but what kind of punishment they got

if you have to drink or do drugs make sure you child is safe with someone who can watch over them,stop blameing the drugs and drink,it was you who allowed this to happen to your child

the sex offenders registrys should always show a picture,if they pefered male or female or both,the age of the victims,how many times they have been arrested and when was the last time they were arrested,address,and if the are current in the registry,and most of all they should say if they are repeat offenders

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

why cant you have a site that shows sex offenders in your area without having to pay for it

For those saying this website should say whether or not the animals name on this page molested a child or not.. it should be obivious that he /she did that is why it made it here... and without pictures of these animals our children are at risk...

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

The problem with the mi psor is that it is too broad, Just because someone is on the psor does not mean they endangered a child, a person can be put on here for taking a leak in the woods or whatever. Or a person can be convicted because a child said this person touched me, and not even need any evidence,

I feel the site is very helpful and informing but also not pin pointing the at risk people (ENDANGERING) like for instance there is sex offenders on this site who have been convected for consentual sex and now are labeled and registered as a sex offender from the age of 17 to 43. Then there are people who rape or molested their children and/or children and you can not decipher the difference. Labeling the none (HARD CRIME) offenders ruines their career,soical life,reputation and self esteem. Murders are released to the public and from there crime with no stipulations and sex offenders are released from the penatentary but not from the crime. Not saying sex offenders are ok but rapist and molesters should be labeled, nothing like the consentual sex offender. CONSENTUAL SEX IS NOT FORCED!

Great service to Michigan residents. NOW lets get the same list for murders. Ask your chief of police how many live in your area. You will be shocked. After serving their time, they should have their pics on the net too! Contact your State Representative and lets get the ball rolling.

I would like to know exactly why a person is on the list. For example, a person I would like to hire for yard work at my home is on the list. I want to know why. There's a big difference between pedophilia and statutory rape, and they are both on the list. How can I find out why he is on the list. Thank you.

yes that would be helpful to know exactly what the crime was , (for example a 18 yr old having sex with his 16 yr old girlfriend ) and parents got mad, reported it, or is he a 30 yr old raping 10 yr olds? Also i agree that it would be a great idea to get a "registered murderer list" going too , keep up the good work

i belive that it would be helpful if you told what the person did so that we could know what they do to people it is our right as the public to know this kindda stuff and so that we can keep our kids safe for these people

When you have childre, you have to assume EVERYONE is a sex offender and will hurt your children. That is the only way to keep them safe.

I was convicted of csc3rd. I had just graduated high school when this happened, and I ripped from college and thrown jail. About two years earlier I taped my girl friend and I having sex. We were both under 18 @ the time, and when my so called friends who I showed it to teased the girl about it. She asked the cops what she should do. Well geuss who decided to pick up the case and prosecute? It didn't bother me too much when I was younger, but now I 'm getting to an age where it's all I think about. I can't get a job, apt., or go to certain colleges because of it. I"m no pedefile and I"m not rapest. I was young and I wanted to prove to my friends that I was having sex and that I was cool too. There should somthing within the law that provides hep or a way off the list. My whole life is ruined and theres nothing that I know that I can do about it. Any suggestions?

What i have been looking for is a code that i can put on a website that will show an interactive map of all the sex offenders in a persons area. That would be very helpful.

I agree that information about the crimes should be as specific as possible. "Sex offender" is a blanket term for multiple things. I'm willing to bet that most everyone has taken a leak in a public place. Well, had you gotten caught, you'd be on here. So think about it from both ends.



- D

these sicko's should be shot in the face

These sickos, you mean. And I agree wholeheartedly. Or at least punched.

when the kids are underage ,do they have to register publicly when they turn 18

I belive the children are the future and we should secure our future and to do that we should be given all information about the child preditor so we can know really protect our children with all the ability and love we have and it would be prepared and not caught off gaurd at anytime. We need to go to the extreme of protection for our KIDS!

someone else asked why should we have to pay to see how many sex offenders there are in our area? I agree, we pay for child care to take good care of our children, we pay for all the safe toys and car seats. Everything that we need to keep our children safe we have to pay for. So, I don't think we should have to pay for what someone else did just to help protect our children.

This is for the guy who posted he taped him and his girlfriend while they were both underage. You can appeal to the courts to get the charge expunged from your record. It would take a little money for an attorney but well worth it in the long run. Raw deals happen that is why the courts have appeals, expungements, clemency, etc.

When I was 12 years old I was one of these children you all speak of whose life was ruined by a sex offender. I am a mother today , a grandmother and have done quite well for myself and my child. My perpetrator was a law official of all people! a person that children are taught to trust and believe they are good. I have lived with this for 32 years and I can still remember it just as if it happened yesterday, the doors closing, the room darkening, ............................... You know we have to come to peace within ourselves to live in peace, listen to the rage in these posts and most of you were not even violated or even had a loved one violated. and to the ones who were violated or have had loved ones violated I too was angry, ashamed, thought I had done something to bring this on myself and here I was only 12. It took me running away from home because it happened just across the street from where I lived and I knew my mom could not afford to move on what little she made and EVERYTIME! EVERYTIME I walked out my front door I relived it over and over again. I ran and ran and ran, this went on until I finally got pregnant so I could marry to get away. Yeah I know most you guys are saying "Dumb broad why didn't you just tell someone" Well guys I was to ashamed!! Of what I don't know you just are and all you want to do is RUN! It is kind of like that first bath you just can't get clean enough you scrub and scrub and soak and soak and when you get out you want to get back in again who knows why you just do! So I have been there and touched rock bottom. I had to reach deep within over the years, to heal and to find this inner peace and if you don't it will consume you! People can change, who are we to condem or judge? I would think that I of all would have a moral and ethical reason to condemn these men and women but I don't. I had one 1 perpetrator, as long as I know where he is and what he isn't doing keeps me at peace. I could lash out at them all but I don't know these people or thier charges or the circumstances leading up to the charges, just like one guy said takin a pee on a side road nowadays can land you on this registry. Everyone has an obligation to thier children to be concerned, and informed but lets do it with an open mind, these are and I do say ARE people to and if we judge to harshly the good lord may have a plan for us too once we go to meet him.

Well guess I might as well wear my welcome out and post to the "mother who assumes all people are child molesters in order to protect her children" I have heard it all and, I take that quite offensive and I am surely glad that you are not my next door nieghbor!!! Do you realize what you are doing to your children? If you truly are raising them this way! You know someone who causes thier children to develop such a paranoia could possibly cause thier children to develop an obsession with pedephilia. Maybe you should put all your ducks in a row before you call it.

HELLO MY NAME IS JESSICA

MY HUSBAND HAS A CSC 3D DEGREE AND IT WAS WHEN HE WAS 17 AND CHARGED AS AN ADULT WELL WE HAVE 2 KIDS AND THE LAW PROHIBITS HIM FROM GOING TO SCHOOLS AND THEY EVEN MOVED A BUS STOP BECAUSE OF HIM ! HIS OFFENSE WAS WITH A GIRL 3 YEARS YOUNGER THEN HIM WE NEED HELP OR WE ARE LEAVING THIS STATE PLEASE HELP US IN MICHIGAN .

THIS IS NOT FAIR TO OUR CHILDREN

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

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

People get caught up in the SOR need to understand 2 things: Sex offenders who complete therapy successfuly have the lowest recidivism rate of all felons. In addition the vast majority of all sex offenses are committed by someone the victim trusts not a stranger (76%). A way needs to be found to protect kids not from the stranger behind the bush but rather dad, uncle bill, mom, big brother or sister ect. Think about it.

I think it is very unfair for EVERY person to be listed on the registry. Every person on there is not a sick and/or twisted pervert, or ever has been. I think it's time for someone, somewhere to have guts enough to stand up and make it fair for EVERYONE!

First let me clear up two of the MOST common misconceptions of the Sex Offenders Registration Act. 1. Urinating in public is NOT a registerable offense, most of the time it’s a city ordinance. Indecent exposure IS a registerable offense but requires 3 CONVICTIONS. Do you know what that means??? That means you are INAPPROPRIATELY exposing yourself and get CONVICTED 3 separate times which means you have a serious problem. 2. Sex offender does NOT equal child molester. Simply because someone is on the MIPSOR doesn’t mean they are a threat to your child. Why doesn’t the State differentiate? Simple. How can you judge the dangerousness of a sex offender?! You can have a child molester who completely reforms but has to live with that label and you can have a grouper that escalates to a child molester but is never convicted. So now you have someone suing the state because the website said “not dangerous” but he’s murdered and raped her little girl. So who exactly is a label serving and who is it hurting, there’s arguments for and against both sides so why not give the public the information to educate themselves. You want more information buy a police report, go to the court where they were convicted, take some initiative find out more information.



Now I wouldn’t go as far as to say “you have to assume EVERYONE is a sex offender” but the MIPSOR is only people whose crime was reported AND convicted. What about the people who are never reported or the case is too weak for a conviction or the victim won’t cooperate because he/she is so traumatized already?? You people with children need to raise them with a strong head on their shoulders, not pictures of sex offenders in their pockets.

The MSP's website is down but what's the point... if countless other websites have a profiles of MI sex offenders? If you want to sex offenders in your area check out the website below.

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

In 2004 I started seeing a change in my son, I told my husband and some friends that I was going to make a appointment with a consular to find out why. After I made the appointment I was called by our friend and he said he needed to talk to me and his wife, we got together and he started to confess he said one day my son came up to him and started asking him questions about sex, so he started to show my son the differences (long story short) he said it happened 3 times. I first went to the FIA and reported it, but because the man was not a family member who did it there was nothing they could do, so I then went to the police station and made the reported, they talked to everybody except the man who did it, he got a attorney he never once was brought in for questioning or anything, the case started in July 04 case was closed October 04, my son was still going to consoling a year later and to this day he is still effected by what this man has done to him.

After all this the man got a divorce fought for full custody of his youngest daughter and still continue working at a SCHOOL as a custodian has keys to every door, closet can attend the school at any time.



My son had turned 7 not to long before this all came out.



I think there are many more names that belong on this list.

how do i view the list, I keep getting pages of FAQS

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

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

How do I get a list of sexual offenders in my area.

I live in a place where all the houses are close together. I just found out that my neighbor has been exposing himself to the little girls in the neighborhood from his own yard. The police were called after one parent witnessed it and he was arrested. To my disgust and hurt I found out that my daughter had also been subjected to this pervert as she played on the sidewalk and in her own yard. I filed a police report but he is only being charged with public indecency. Isn't there a harsher charge considering that these were8 year old little girls? The worst part is that there was a rumor in our neighborhood that he had molested a little girl with mental issues but her grandparents(she lived with them) decided not to press charges and to send her away for her benefit. Is there anything else I can do to get him out of our neighborhood or to pay a higher price for the crime?

I am not happy with the sex offender law - Who are we to say a person is a sex offender. America never defined what sexual harrassment is. If a person tells me that I have a nice dress, that is not sexual harrassment. what relly is sexual harrassment. no one really knows how to define it. If someone says you look good is that sexual harrassment. We always want to through the man in jail - How about some of these women and young girls they wear the revealing clothes to be noticed.



We don' have murders registering on a list rapist either or any other type of crime that people. Thay have a chance to come back out into society and do well give these people a chance. If a person was not raped and and it was consunsual that person should not have to register on any sex offender list.



If a person is not PREYing on young people and young bOYS then they should NOT I repeat THEY should not have to register for a sex offender registry.



If we have tem to register then all of Amerca needs to register we all have problems with one way of the other.



This is a LAW that need to be changed IMMEDIATELY. Let's get together to make some changes.



If a person has done their time for an offense why should we still make it hard for them when they come back out into society.



If a person does something more that once we need to get them some type of help not put every one in JAIL. Give people a chance. The only one who can judge any one is GOD Not us as Americans.

It's easy for someone aganist the reg... for Sex Offenders to make a remark like that. But as a parent of having a child (Young) molested, I think the Laws are not harsh enough on these offenders. Not everyone should be labled a offender because some of the ages are old enough to know what they are doing I agree on, or I am madd therefore I press charges, etc... it effects those whom are telling the truth, and the Laws from changeing. I am not sure why people think the way you do? or make comments as such, but unless you walk in someones shoes who had this happen, or know someone you really love who had this happen sometimes its better not to comment, unless you fully understand the persons situation with a offender, and how they were offended.

I was married to the man of my dreams. Than he raped a young girl. Two weeks after his arest I found out I'm 8 weeks preg. daughter now almost 5. Never met father, and is asking questions.What do I say to her that she will undersand?

THIS IS TO THE LADY WITH THE 5 YEAR OLD. DONT TELL HER OF THE CRIME BUT OF THE BETTER THINGS HE DONE. I TO HAVE A SON WHO WAS FATHERED BY AN OFFENDER I FOUND OUT WHEN I WAS GETTING MARRIED TO HIM. AT MY WEDDING HIS EX JUMPED UP AND SCREAMED IT OUT. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE ARE NOT MARRIED BUT I DO ALLOW VISITATION IN MY PRESENCE ONLY. HE HAS 3 OTHER KIDS. THE PERSON WAS 16 AND HE WAS 18 ON THE DAY THEY HAD SEX. I FOUND THIS OUT 2 WEEKS AGO. AND I NOW REGERT I DID NOT MARRY HIM. I SHOULD OF ASKED QUESTIONS BUT THAT WORD SEX OFFENDER HIT ME WRONG. WE ARE FRIENDS NOW WORKING THINGS OUT. BUT FOR YEARS I WOULD NOT TAKE CALLS, LETTERS OR EXPLAINS. I ORDERED A HIS RECORDS FOR $49.95 AND KNOW THE TRUTH NOW.

I think your wounderfull for having a baby, instead of not one, For two I would not even tell her until she is fully able to understand the situation that made you leave her father, just let her know she is loved very much by both but sometimes things in life happen to where she will understand. You could also get her into therpy and have them help you through this. Good Luck. Tammy (Hexgirl)

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

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

If the girl was 19, and you were 24, should'nt she be of legal age? Not to minshone at that age she is old enough to make her own choices towards sexual intercourse, and whom with. I think if your telling the truth the State really fu** up. Tammy (Hexgirl)

I would just like to agree with the person who said they think there should be a lot more names on the list. I have seen a man I was molested by when I was 5 babysitting other little girls and I am now 17. He got off free because I was too young, the police said, to be credible, although they never really tried. Now every time I see him around with those little girls he babysits I am filled with horror because I know what happened to me either already has or probably will happen to them and there is nothing I can do about it. Also a certain relative in my life lets her daughters spend time with another uncaught sex offender and she knows he is this. She talks about how sick he is, yet lets her daughters spend time with him. I don't understand.

me neither. Find someone you can talk to about this...I think if you could find an impartial adult to help you with this issue, you might start the ball in motion to have the state human seervices or police, question the other girls involved without him around. If they claim to have been molested, possibly a case could be started. Hexgirl may have some ideas on this also...if she sees your post.

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

I don't think they should be shot, i just think they should be put in a cell with the biggest black dude and get done to them what they did to the other people. why give them the satisfaction of being shot thats to quick!

to those who think that 35% of the people shouldn't be on the list for whatever reason,and that 83% that can be fixed... what statictics are you going by i dont want to give them he chance because if you cant get a woman willing you must be at home waking off anf you must not have children you moron!!!!

There is really nothing that can be done since he got off free. Now that you are old enough and fear for the children he babysits for that is a normal responce due to what happened to you. It's sadd but unless the children he babysits for tell if their is something going on, there again there is not enough to do nothing about, and even then if there is no physial evd... and the storys are not strong it will be dropped as well. Hopefully for there sack, and others what happened to you by this person will not happen to them. I would seek someone to talk to on a proff. leval, it might do you some good, and help you start to heal from the damage that was done to you by this person, and help you become a survior, instead of feeling like a vic... I wish you the best of luck, Tammy (HexGirl)

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

How do i find someone that i have seen on the offender list? I can not seam to find them again. Some one please help me.

I saw a photo of someone I know on the sex offender register. This person was convicted in 2 different names at two diffferent times. Do sex offenders all use false names? And false birthdates? If this is common what good is the sex offenders registry. The registry should be checked.

Some offenders use a false address and live in another county. When an offender registers is he or she really living in that house? How would any one know?

how far from a school does a sexual offender have to live, in the state of michigan? i am moving there and dont want to have my children in an area where sexual offenders frequent!

life is hard when a young lady lie about her age, and tell the whole world she had sex with me, and all i did was tell the truth when her parents and the police wanted to know what was going on, now i place myself on this list that has made my life flip upside down, at times i feel strong and keep my head up but i feel that will not last long.

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

how do i find an address for a sex offender?

Dear Confused: Unless the law has been changed, you will find it as "Public Act 127, of 2005"

I suggest you go to www.michigan.gov and do a search for such information.

And....I do hope that you realize that knowing a sex offender lives two houses down has no connection to your kids being safe. Only their knowledge and understanding of this issue can help them be safe. (IMHO)

"

Pooh:

Go to your states website and look under sex offender registry.

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

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

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

all you sex offenders need to remember why you were in prison so don't do it again

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

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

you are all sick

Heather, I disagree. We are all human and trying to understand and fix this situation. Labeling people will not change anything in my opinion.

All the people that have the comments of a sex offender trying to get on with their life, their should be no such thing. The laws protect them more than the children. I personally have a child who was molested and You people have no idea what she went through she is a hero and the man who did this should stay in jail forever at least he will never hurt another child again!! Think before you write

Think before you write? I agree your daughter is a victim and that who ever did that to her should be locked away for a long time. But i know for a fact that that not everyone needs to be on that registry. Don't get me wrong. I fully agrre with the registry. But there are a few people that fell through the cracks and got screwed. Did you know that 15% of people in prison are truelly not guilty! That 10% of people on death row never did anything wrong. And are later sent free with an apolgy. So think before you speak, please follow your own advice! And again, i am truelly sorry about your your child.

I was a successful and highly acclaimed nurse for 25 years. My reputation was destroyed by a mentally ill patient who accused me of having sex with him I was convicted of CSC 4th degree, and my nursing license was revoked. I am not in any way a sexual predator, or a menace to children, but i must register as a sex offender foe the next 25 years. Where is the justice?

It seems to me that the sheer volume of names and faces on the registry with offenses from internet fantasies to actual rapes, from owning child pornography to exposing oneself, from teens having underage sex and the list of offenses goes on, only serves to dilute the real population of violent predators. I have not heard or read one story where the sex offender registry has saved anyone.



Its seems to me to be a huge waste of manpower and money to maintain, regulate and implement this registry that provides no real tangible benefit to potential victims. There are numerous men, women, teens and children, on the registry that made a stupid mistake and would not re-offend, even if they were not on a list. It’s this group of people that the registry destroys. Even an act, where there is no victim involved, evokes a life sentence. The registrant is shunned by society, doomed to a life of isolation, forced to live in the shadows, without a job, without a home, without a life. The registrant is left with no possibility to rectify the wrong. It creates a whole new subculture of human beings that get forced into committing other crimes just to survive. This might make you feel safe but not me.



The men and women that will harm you, that will re-offend, will not be stopped by simply placing their names and pictures on the list. They wont be stopped by monitoring or by your peeking out from behind your blinds to peer at your neighbors house because you saw their address on the list.



It seems to me that the only value of the registry is to create a false sense of security, to create nation wide fear and panic, and to create jobs and revenue for all those involved with the registry as enforcement officers, secretaries, web designers, etc. and a whole group of workers that provide service to the folks managing the registry, as janitors, food service, utilities, car maintenance, and the list goes on.



Someone needs to stop buying into the irrational fear crated by the registry and put an end to it. Contrary to some beliefs, all sex offenders are not the same and can be rehabilitated and re-introduced into society as good contributing members. Surely there is a solution that will work because this one is not.

Well stated, LOR (IMHO) but those making money on all of this don't hear you. Besides, when you can put a portion of the population "down", it makes others feel superior. I think it was Nepoleon who said that when you create a class of citizens under different law within society, you create a new enemy. What can many of these folks do, but hide in the shadows and commit crime to survive? But...those in Washington play their fiddles.

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

I welcome anyone who wants to "punch" me or "shoot" me because I am on the list to come on over! You may just get the suprise of your life!

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MY BOYFRIEND OF OVER A YEAR AND LIVING WITH ME FOR 4 MONTHS IS MARRIED HAS 2 KIDS AND IS A SEX OFFENDER, I JUST KICKED HIM OUT 2 DAYS AGO AND HE HAS SINCE THEN MADE THREATS TO ME THAT IF I TELL ANYONE ABOUT WHAT I FOUND OUT THEN HE WILL SOMEHOW RUIN MY LIFE, WHAT SHOULD I DO REPORT THIS TO MICHIGAN? I AM PLANNING ON GETTING A REST.ORDER LATER TODAY BUT TO MY KNOWLEDGE ARENT YOU SUPPOSED TO REPORT ANY ADDRESS CHANGES WHEN YOUR AN OFFENDER? HE WAS LIVING WITH ME FOR ALMOST 5 MONTHS?? IM STILL IN SHOCK BUT IM OK JUST ALOT TO TAKE IN, TO THINK I HAD HIM LIVING WITH ME AND MY DAUGHTER IM SICKEND.. ANY THOUGHTS PEOPLE ON WHAT I SHOULD DO 1ST????

If he is an offender, (IMHO)the first thing I would suggest, is a private talk with your daughter to make sure he did not touch her inappropriately. Maybe she won't talk to you about it, but you might ask her school counsellor to converse with her.

Offenders must register their new address when moving. Local police will want to know if this was not done. Finally, victims often become victims again. Talk to someone who understands behavior to make sure you are not putting yourself into "victim" relationships.

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

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

Maybe it is a good thing that you cannot find the registry, because the registry DOES NOT make your child safe. YOU DO!

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

I think the sex offender registry is against civil rights! if someone is convicted of a sex crime and did their time/probation than they should not have their right of privacy taken away from them.

The registry should only be used for people that have been charge with more than one felony sex crime.

OK I WAS RAPED WHEN I WAS 13 BY A GUY THAT WASNT ALL THERE IN THE HEAD MY PARENT'S WANTED TO GO TO COURT AND FIGHT THE ONLY REASON I DIDNT FIGHT IS BECAUSE I PRETTY MUCH GOT TOLD BYE THE JUDGE THAT HE IS RETARTED AND WILL GET OFF SO I DIDNT FIGHT AND THAT I HATE MYSELF FOR BECAUSE HE HAS DONE THIS TO OTHER'S ..

NA: Keep in mind, that the incident WAS NOT YOUR FAULT. You were the minor and he the adult. (IMHO) In life, sh_t happens. Put it behind you and seek your future life and goals. If this person is still raping, maybe you need to have a heart to heart with a local cop. Sorry you were involved...but it is time to move on.

TO NA: Don't go to talk to the police on your own. You will probably get nowhere. Go to a rape counseler at one of the rape crisis centers. They are not just for when the rape happens. They will walk you through counseling and will go report it with you. You need an advocate on your side, believe me, it doesn't always turn out like it should but at least that is your best path. Especially if it is like you say that he is still actively

abusing, the police will listen to the advocate and the adv. has all the connections to go farther with it if an officer will not listen. GOOD LUCK!

Good point, bottomfly!

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

My son is a registered sex offender now living in Georgia. The ypunglady he was accused of improperly touching ( 4th degree conduct). This happened 11 years ago. Marc had a car and was dating a young girl who accused him of fondling her. My son Marc has 2 young girls and a happy home life. Enough is enough! Take this status off of him.

O.K. SINCE SOMETIMES THE STATE REALLY DOES FALSE LABLE OFFENDERS ,FOR BOTH WILLING PARTIES, DUE TO MADD PARENTS, I CAN AGREE WITH SOMEONE NOT HAVING A LONG TERM LABLE OF A OFFENDER. BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD OF 4TH DEGREE CONDUCT, BUT ONLY OF A 4TH DEGREE OFFENDER, WHICH IN RETURN IS CALLED A PREDITOR. I DO KNOW EVEN THOUGH THE STATES, AND LAWS ARE DIFFRENT, AND VARY, I DO KNOW THAT TO BE LABLED A PREDITOR, TAKES ALOT OF PROFF, AND TIME OF INFORMATION, AND COURT DATES, EVEN PLEA AGREEMENTS, IF POSSIABLE. SO FOR THE STATE TO MISTAKE A LEVAL 4 PREDITOR, IS LESS LIKELY TO MESS UP ON THEIR JUDGEMENT OF HIS/HER NAME. 11 YEARS IS A LONG TIME, BUT IF IN FACT HE DID DO THIS, HE DOES NEED TO STAY LABLED THAT WAY, THINK OF IT THIS WAY, YES, HE IS LABLED, BUT HE IS OUT INTO OUR SOCIETY GETTING A SECOND CHANCE, IF AND FACT HE DID THIS, THE PERSON HE HURT, IS AND WILL BE A VIC... NO MATTER HOW MUCH OF A SURVIOR THEY ARE, AND THEY DO NOT GET A SECOND CHANCE, PLUS MEMORIES, THERPY, MEDS, WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE THE VIC... HAS BEEN THROUGH. THIS IS NO DIS-RESPECT TOWARDS YOUR SON, IF HE DID NOT DO THE CRIME, BUT IF IN FACT HE DID, HE DOES NEED THE NAME TO GO WITH IT. TAMMY RICH

i dont thank a sex offfender should have a second chance for what to do it again and next time matbe kill some one if you did it ones your going to do it again thats my belief

I know of a pervert living in Michigan that molests boys, but has never been convicted. Another State pressed charges but his case was dismissed because my son wasn't there to testify. My son passed away due to suicide over this mess. It also happened to my other son only I wasn't going to lose him by testifying. This person admitted to police and myself .

I would love this person to be caught but many years have passed. I know he's living in New Buffalo, MI He preys on vulnerable women that have trouble raising their children and wants to help. I was just a very trustful person and at that time sexual predators weren't commonplace in the media as they are now. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN STREET SMART!

IMHO I think most research says that the offender that "has not been caught" oftentimes continues the offending behavior. This theory would lead me to believe that the person that offended your son, is still at it. If you know where he now resides, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find him re offending. Possibly a chat with the local authorities there might open their eyes to his behavior....assuming he is still offending.

I'm on here to see what offenders ore in my neigh borhood

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

A few months ago, I found out that my boyfriend (now ex) had been chatting with a 13 year old (undercover cop). I found this out when the cops arrived and told me that he was in jail. I do not understand this and feel very lost! I am thankful that it was an undercover cop and not an innocent victim. I have felt every feeling in the book and dont know how to deal with what happened to me. I am done with him but it has affected me vastly. Any advice?

(IMHO) First of all, you must realize that these were HIS actions and have nothing to do with you in that respect. You may feel confused to have a person with this problem so close to you, unknowing, but you should feel no guilt for "not knowing". Many offenders are quite clever at hiding their actions from others. Consider those that sexually offend within the family! If you are confused about this, still, I suggest you get some counselling so that you can "vent" your feelings and put them in the proper perspective. And then? Move on with living.

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

Why dont we make the for (lack of a better phrase) more dangerous offender wear a tether or tracking device the state has tracked at all times and if that device becomes unavailable then we should have a alert run across the screen like a amber alert. That way the area and others know he or she is on the prowl. How can we get this done?

I used to work in ohio.. and I went to a class on sexual offenders once that talked about sexual offenders getting pink license plates for their vehicles. Much like the DUI tags: yellow with red letters. Again, every state is different.

Bad idea. Why? What if the offender uses a business vehicle? What if the vehicle is owned by someone else? Registering is not punishment, the courts say...so what if a vehicle is scrached, burned, etc and it is owned by the bank? On and on. Seems to me, that you are trying to make those having trouble with finding a place to live and job...just a bit more difficult.

Oldtimer.. I agree with you. I dont really think they would come out with those plates anyway. I try to go to as many classes as I can sign up for in my career field, and it seems to me that there is a new idea tossed around every class. Good discussion though :).

you know what i was 10 i was convicted of a misdemenor for touching somone, im no freak child molester or anything like that, i got a bad deal as a child and now 4 times a year im paying for it (yeah felons register 4 times a year but apparently you do if you have a High court misdemenor too) you know this SOR has ruined my life, i have been rejected from getting an appartment, lost jobs, and everything else because im "a registered sex offender." the funny thing is my initial case was expunged but i still have to register until im 35 years old im 23 now, have never comitted a crime, and lead an outstanding life, yet because of this i fight mentally to survive, ive even contemplated suicide. the fact of the matter not every one belongs on this list, its a bad stigma that people dont need to live with. thanks michigan for screwing my life up

True these sick f******need to be here,but what about the judges who only give them a slap on the wrist? It's not a judge has'nt ever been accused and convicted of such deedds. Look at them pedophilistic priests'

i like the link, but there's a problem! i heard today that a man i know is on the run from charges in michigan and they are sex crimes. i want to look all through the pictures because i don't think he is using his real name. his appearance has changed 6 times since we've met him and i REALLY just wanna see the pictures!

if you can help me out, please do. i was a victim 23 years ago and i have 2 kids under 5 whom i never want to hafta feel that pain. i'm really freaking out here and i could really use some help!

Roo: Are you talking about the Michigan link? If you can't find him there, he may be on another state's link. There is a national directory now, also. Do a web search for the national registry. You can't live in fear and need to move on. (IMO) Get a little counseling on this issue from someone who deals with such things. I think the risk is less than what you imagine. The press and public safety groups have the public running in circles over this sex abuse issue. Then again, it takes focus away from other crimes that need to be dealt with, doesn't it?

NOT every one on the list is a monster!! I think every one should know the pervs around there house but I think thay (police) should look over ALL the cases and punish the monsters not people that had a boy/girl friend that was a few tears younger. To me 18 is still a kide and 15 16 year olds now days are not babys!! charging some one to 25 years for havein a boy/girl friend is rong !!

michigan has a real problem keeping track of thier offenders. even when you tell about it. they still dont do any thing about it.they have been told about simon trejo jr.and they still have not done nothing. he has been out of prison now for a month, and still has not registerd. he lives in saginaw or bridgeport mi. his mdoc number is 127353. and he is trouble. as is that whole family out their.

i think michigan should keep better track of there offenders i seen afew pepole on the list that i know for a fact dont live @ the adress`s that is showen like M,S gots address of snt clair st morenci 49256

OKAY! Who here believes in the constitution? If you do the sex registry is illegal. That is that!



I am a female in my twenties who woke up to a 15 year old with his hand up my shorts, who was left at my home by his parents. I feel asleep on the couch! My Fault!!!!! Told my husband what happened, and then we told his mother. I let it go and then I was sent a letter in the mail telling me I need to come down to the police station and get finger printed. I was arrested and charged. All it took was him saying yes he put his hand up my shorts and I that I told him it was okay. hum.... So we spent 30,000 dollars on a crapy lawyer who in the end said plea.... Trial is a coin toss this is a he said she said case and there is no telling what the a jury will decide.... He further said if you lose you will go to prision....



There is a law in Michigan, here it goes:

A victims testimony does not have to be corrborated by evidence. This is under the Criminal Sexual Conduct Act... Look it up.... Why do you rarely see these case go to trial... Because the people accused do not have a leg to stand on at trial.....



Some of you need to get a life.... Here I sit just registered yesterday as a sex offender awaiting my sentencing..... They have there conviction I took a plea...If they really thought I was a danger to society I would be look up not typing on my computer.... This sex offender registery is a scam....



This country is 70% christian... hmmm.... I don't understand the harsh judgement of others in this country... Judgement Day for you all will be very interesting. Will you all burn in hell?? I think so....



Get a grip people.....

There needs to be a website that is free showing where exactly the sex offenders lived so we can know exactly what and where to stay away from. We shouldn't have to pay to see where sex offenders live. We are only trying to protect ourselves.. it's stupid. We have a right to know exactly where they are.

I was senior in high school and "penetrated" a sophomore, i got probation and a little jail time, i had a full ride to CMU and lost it all. Since then, five years ago i have been harassed and made to feel like im sub-human. I need to know what it takes to get off this so i can get on with my life.

I WAS THE LITTLE GIRL KNOWONE BELIEVED INTILL SOMEONE CLOSE TO ME CAME INTO MY ROOM WHILE MY BROTHER WAS IN THE NEXT ROOM AND MY MOM WAS ON THE COUCH DRUNK PASSED OUT AND PILLED UP MY FAMILY MADE ME BE IN THE SAME ROOM WITH THIS MONSTER KNOWING HE JUST ABOUT KILLED ME WHEN HE FINALLY GOT CAUGHT MY (GRANDMOTHER ) PUSHED THE ISSUE HE LOOKED AT ME IN THE COURT ROOM AN LAUGHED!!! HE GOT A YEARS PROBATION WAS THAT FAIR TO A 6 YEAR OLD CHILD I DID NOT ASK FOR ALL THAT !

TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE BLAMING THE SEX REGITER FORM JUST REMEMBER WHO ACTUALLY DID THE CRIME AND TO ALL I HOPE YOU GET WHAT IS COMING YOU ROTT IN HELL TO THINK YOU ARE WORTH WASTING AIR AND BREATH TO THINK YOU SHOULD DECIDE WHEN INOCCENTS IS LOST I HOPE YOU ALL ARE SAFE IN YOUR JAIL SAIL BECAUSE BEING A SEX OFFENDER HURTING BABYS DON'T GO WELL IN JAIL HA HA HA HA HA AND I HOPE THIS FORM MAKES FOR LIFE A LIVING HELL JUST THINK WHAT YOU ALL HAVE DONE TO OUR BABY'S YES I WAS ONE OF THOSE TO!!!!!!

to: You got what you deserve: You were raped by a family member that got probation. You blame ALL sex offenders. In my opinion, you have alot of rage that needs to be worked on with a therapist. Your story is a sad one. You should be angry, in that you were a family victim. You must also now realize that every event of sexual abuse is different. Please do not treat all offenders alike and seek help so that you can enjoy the rest of your life.

Animals, monsters, or innocent victims. That's all I hear being said about sex offenders. They are people, just like you, just like me. People who have done terrible things to children and also people who had consensual sex with a girlfriend who was too young. They are people, and people deserve certain rights and respect just like everyone else.

I would like my children to be safe on halloween. We should have a stricter policy on sex offenders. like jail. Cause they'll do it again. Just wait.

And I want my children to be safe and I don't want to have to wrry about them getting sexually abused.

TO HEATHER LISTEN I AM NOT BLAMIN KNOWONE BUT I AM SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THESE LOW LIFES SAYIN ITS NOT FAIR THAT THEY HAVE TO REGISTER I NOW HAVE 2 KIDS AND YOU BET YOUR SWEET ASS I DO NOT TRUST KNOW ONE WITH THEM AND YES I DO TREAT ALL OF THESE NOBODY'S LIKE THEY ARE GUILY BUT GUESS WHAT BABE THEY ARE DON'T WRITE TO ME SAYIN I BLAME EVERY ONE CAUSE ALL SEX OFFENDERS DESERVE TO BE LET LOOSE IN THE PRISION WITH THE REST OF THEM CAUSE THEY ARE BIG BOY'S AND THEY TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE LIKE THAT UNDERSTAND!!

TO THE LAST REMARK THE ONE ABOUT RIGHTS JUST REMEMBER EVERY ONE HAS CHOICES YOU CAN GO THE RIGHT WAY OR YOU CAN DO THE WRONG THING EVERYONE ON THE REGISTRY CANNOT TELL ME THEY HAD NO IDEA IT WAS WRONG I WOULD LIKE TO NO IF I SEE MY NEIBGHBOUR ON THIS SHEET. JUST REMEMBER ABOUT ALL OF US WHO DIDN'T HAVE ANYRIGHTS OR CHOICES

to: "you got what..." Fine, then, What you claim ALSO applies to you...or are you perfect and make no mistakes? IMO: If a person does his time, he should be allowed to start over. If he then repeats the behavior, he should be locked up for a very long time. Each offense case of offense is different and should not be treated in the same way. That is what is being questioned about the registry.

If the sex offender was convicted in another state as well as in Michigan would it tell on the Michigan registry? How would one go about changing how far a sex offender has to live from a school? It should be much farther than 1000 feet.

yes, sexual crimes, especially against children, are horrendous! But the way our society is treating the accused is a "witch hunt". Never before have so many been guilty til proven innocent. I say this from pesonal experience. My 15 yr old daughter was molested by a 22 yr old yet he was sentenced to "delequency of a minor". Yet my 18 yr old son was dating a 16 yr old who by her own admition had been having sex since she was 12 and was in possesion of an illegal ID saying she was actually 18. He was 2 weeks shy of going into the Marines, this incident had taken place 2 years prior, and he lost his future. In the end, he was so very lucky....They stuck it out, together, and when she turned 18 for real, they married and now have 2 beautiful children. The judge dropped the case, for the most part, giving him 1 yr probation. He was never in any legal trouble before, was an outstanding highschool athlete and student. He was that close to 25 years of prison. I will NEVER EVER EVER trust a law inforcement officer again in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nor any member of our so called juctice system. EVER....

i got a question i got a csc 4th degree misdemeanor for pissing in the woods while camping is there anything i can do

I think that Any Person that is Convicted 100% of Rapes of any Human Being is supposed to be sentenced to Death. This is the Real Justice. If this was a Law, They will be scared to Death to Rape any person.

my child was molestd by one of these pedifiles in michigan. he only got a year in jail. and half year on a tether, and 5 years probation. this I feel wasnt enough time for him.





















my child has suffered because

It looks like one of our city councilman has been convicted of a sexual offense and is hiding out in a different zip code in a city next to ours. I wish the media would see it and report on it.

When I was 15 I was dating my current husband who was at the time 19. I got pregnant and had a baby when I was 16. My mom pressed charges against him and now has to register on the sex offenders list. We were married in 2004 when I was 18 and he was 22 and now have another son. This problem effects us everyday and my husband is not a bad person and would never harm a child. He should not be classified under all these other sickos

Keep the faith Fallen. There are people and orgs. out there that have see the register for what it is and are trying to do something about it.

This is one; http://reformsexoffenderlaws.com Check it out!

This puts the icing on the cake!



http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28679588/

Teens and porn. That requires them to register. People, read Maryellen's link to msnbc...and THAT is why we need to look at this issue again.

I am trying to figure out how to determin if a twice convicted registered sex offender is allowed around children, I have a family member dating this creep and she has kids in her home! If hes not allowed around them, the system should know. Also, if he is around them, he goes back to jail for bond violation? I just need some info!

How can I tell the bond conditins of a TWICE convicted sex offender? I have a family member dating this CREEP and she had kids. If his bond conditions say he isnt allowed aroung kids under the age of 16 or 18 then cant he get in trouble, or atleast have to stay away from them? How do I find this out? I have already had a look at his file from the clearks office, I just dont know where to find this info, I even asked Mr. XXXXX of the Sturgis Police dept. he said that I am on the right track, and the sherriffs dept. could help me, but the just agreed they didnt look anything up. How do I find out 100% hes not allowed around them so I can report him????

mama: I could be wrong, but I think you should be able to get the court's sentence against him. It should state there what he can/cannot do and probation rules.

May be different state to state, but I believe this is public information.

im really new to this topic im only 22 years old but i used to always watch dateline for "online predators".. i just cant believe people would actually do this esp with young children involved, EVEN your own blood?! ive read through all of these comments and it really hit me when i read the 1 about a young girl getting molested by her own blood brother since she was 9, and she is now 15 and just realized what he was doing was bad.. i dont know whats wrong with people theses days or the society, everything is so sinful, full of sex and drugs. Thats the devil coming out controlling us, he is very real and he knows exactly what hes doing. I just think people that do these crimes should do time, and no doubt they should b on this list til the day they die. Your taking young childrens innocence at such an early age, scarring them for life..all cuz you cant help your pathetic self.

I wish that people would stop thinking that all Sex offenders are bad people. Just because you are labeled a sex offender doesn't mean that you are a child molester or rapist. I have actually been put on this list and now my life is hell. I can't just go out and get a job that pays well, I tried to go to college but didn't know that I had to tell the university and about 3/4 of the way through the semester I got arrested because I wasn't registered with them. I just want my life back and nothing else. It's been 12 years and I still can't see the end of the punishment. I am not the guy that is out prowling the streets for kids or anything so why does this have to effect every aspect of my life.

Diddling the kids is bad times!

I am all for having the right laws for sex offenders,My husband is a registered CSC4 and these laws have almost destroyed our family.How can you really put them all as (Sex offenders)when there is child molesters,rapist and a father with 3 kids wife that was wrongfully accused for the next 25 yrs of his life.The local law inforcement looks at them all as bad and its just not fair,my life and children life is like we are in the wrong too.Somebody needs to seriously step up and really help innocent people in our situation.If you get a drunk driving you dont have to live 1000 ft from a bar,or someone that gets out of prision for murder,you dont have to register for killing someone,but a(CSC4)you charge is the same as a felon,You get caught peeing in public and this could be you...Think about it,doesn't it really make you think....State Rep's~Governor~Attorney General~wake up........Do Your Job Right for a change and put the bad ones away forever for touching a child,but want about the real victim here....How long do you have to just deal with what they say and every year there changing new laws.Step up or shut up....

I cant stand people that say all sex offenders are the same,until it happens to you ,your son,husband,daughter would you still feel the same now.There are these peoples lifes destroyed over he said she said.People that say stuff need to be more educated and stop talking out her A** so much and maybe you would get a little smarter one day.know the facts before you open your mouths,if the shoe was on the other foot,bet you have a change of heart..

Can a man who is 23 be convicted for sleeping with his 15 year old girlfriend even if she was willing .. ? help please

man23: You need to go to this link: https://legislature.mi.gov/(S(u5zxb355yrzrv255etfoxk45))/mileg.aspx?page=getObject&objectName=mcl-328-1931-LXXVI

for some of your law. Also see MSL Section 750.158, 750.338,750.338a I am not an attorney so maybe there are some mistakes here. It appears if you partner was under 18, you might talk to a lawyer.

reader above: don't you want a mature adult. You're 23. The girl can't even get a license. Independent women must not be your thing. Let her grow up, get a license, finish high school, college, get a job, then maybe consider dating her. She has so much of a future, let the boys, yes BOYS, her own age teach her about love.

This site needs to be more user friendly. We need a search tool that you can use for the immediate location i.e. your address specific. You could be living next door to a convicted offender, just released, or, some one that has been offending. Let;s get it fixed ASAP to keep our love ones safe!

if your 23 and need to ask the question "is it ok to sleep with a 15 year old girl" then you might need to take a class or 2!

If your husband can't control himself from urinating in public than yes he should be punished. My 7 year old daughter shouldn't have to see a mans Private parts until she is old enough to make that decision on her own. And if he has no problem urinating (whipping it out) in public then I would have to wonder what other things he might not have a problem doing. The fact of the matter is if you know you could end up with your face plastered on the internet , name on the registry family torn apart then maybe you should think twice before you commit the act!

I'd say living next door to a sex offender or close to one would be the safest place to be for three reseans:

1. Most offenders do not reoffend

2. Just because they have the label doesn't make them a violent preditor

3. If a sex crime is committed in your area, the offender would be the first one the police would suspect. If it is their intention to re-offend they would be smart enough to travel for miles to do so.

All these laws are doing is giving victims no chase, as the preditor would NOT leave a witness.

People have I.D's for a reason.. And why are you people having sex with strangers that looks like people who could be your little sister or daughter. "She lied" LOL start saying "a 14 year old girl is smarter than my penis"

the registry should show the year of the actual arrest and the age of the offender i know everyone will bad mouth me but i was arrested in 1991 for 2 counts of csc 1st on family members and now i have to register for the rest of my life i am 28 yrs old so you do the math and never been arrested for csc after wards i was 11 years old at the time and now i cant even watch my kids grow in school i think they took the law a little to far but it is a good law cause people need to know those things but atleast tell the whole story and not just the bad and dont put my adult picture by a charge i aquired as an addelessent i dont believe that is right ill be waitin for all the mean remarks but hey its life we all gotta live it and i do believe you should be buried under the prison for doin that to a child call me a hippocrit if you want my victims call and come over and love me the same they have forgiven me why cant i move on

Are you allowed to post SO names and what they did on different websites? Is that Freedom of Information? That's not slander if it's true, right?

HI my name is BJ ... i am a convicted sex offender . my mom lied on me an said i touched my little brother an twin sister .. i got a csc2 ..it was a lie. an my momused her personal past to use this to teach me a lesson she said not knowing the severity of this lists...i am now 22 an have been registering for 8 years ...i wen to a treatment center and was in juvenile detetension for 3 years..i have since lost scholarshps, grants, jobs. and college because of this lie my mom toold. and coersed my sister an lil brother to tell...my twin now 22 as well has came forward an acknowledged that she was coached by my mom .....WHAT CAN I DO >>MY life is ruined an now i have to register till im 38yrs old

Real justice isn't killing anybody. You people who are all in favor for this are just a sick as the freaks that commit these crimes. Murder, no matter what the person did is not a way to cure anything.



If any of you bothered to do REAL research then you'd know that most sex offenders were molested themselves when they were younger. So at the same time when you want to kill these people you'd also be killing a victim at the same time. Add a whole different face to your argument didn't I?

For you parents that are on here who have had a child who has been molested GET THEM HELP. Psychaitrists, group therapy, all the stuff that can help and most of all WATCH THEM AROUND OTHER CHILDREN ESPECIALLY CHILDREN IN THE FAMILY because they are now a ticking time bomb waiting to go off and do what was done to them to someone else.

I am a registered sex offender and the mother of three children a teeage son and daughter and an 8 year old girl!I was accused by a teenage boy of commiting a sex act, the teenager came from a family we had just turned in to protective services for this boy molesting his little sister.I'm not sure what happened in that investigation all i know is he showed up at my door one afternoon and asked to speak with my husband who wasnt home at the time.He came in to get a drink of water and left about ten minutes later.The next thing i know i have the police at my door with a search warrant.The police asked me about my mental health and medication history i was honest with them and fully disclosed everything.I was also honest about the fact i had some wine that afternoon while i was planting some flowers.Both facts were used against me i then sold my boat,jetskis and everything i could to get a lawyer who advised me against taking a lie detector test.I was arrested and let out on bond.At my preliminary hearing the sopposed victim did not show up.The charge was 1st degree csc and the prosecuter then came to my lawyer and said they would offer me a deal of attempted csc 3rd degree.If i did not take the plea i would face going to prison for 15 years!The kicker was i only had twenty minutes to decide.My lawyer advised me to take it b/c of the fact i was drinking wine while taking medication and b/c i did not have the $10,000 to go to trial.I reluctantly agreed when i was promised i did not have to enter a guily plee and i would do less than six months in jail and be able to keep full custody of my 3 children.However i had intended to appeal it and i tried but was advised i would also appealing my sentence if i chose to go through the appeals process. I was let out of jail after serving only 63 days of my 6 months sentence. The first offender with that charge to be let out early ever in that county.When i was released the commander told me flat out that he knew i did not belong there!I made a huge mistake taking that plea agreement!

do the crime pay the time stop crying only a freak would do this to children i think they all sould be hung before the go on to kill a child to keep them from telling on them and if you married one of these freak your just as bad

Anyone who is a register sex offender should not be living near a school nor should they live near places where there are kids who enjoy playing out in their yard.

the way that i feel about where the sex offenders may live or be employed is that regarless of what they have done i believe that everone makes mistakes and we only have or got one life to live and in the end they will be the ones suffering regardless of how the rest of their lives may be

I wish we had someplace to send the sexual offenders. Like a island or something. My self and My ex's second ex wife, are woke up constantly by our daughters. The jerk is getting out in august. Ive been trying for the last 6 months to get my daughter in to the child assessment center. He did not go to prison for what he did to my daughter but for what he did to his second ex-wife's daughter. But we are hoping with the journal my daughter has been writing, we can get he sent back. I can not believe I did not see something wrong when he would come get our daughter for his court ordered visits.

I am on the list. The girl took advantage of me when I was drinking and then told her friend who told her mom. This does not work. The spectrum is too broad. The thing is a joke. I know 17 year old kids that are one here for life. Think about you're own before you talk crap don't lose you're virginity before 16 or you're a sex offender.

I don't understand why anyone who is a sex offender is living next to a public school. For example, there is someone where I live who is a sex offender and there is a school nearby.

My son is on the list, starting at age 14, CSC4. His conviction was a misdemeanor. If you read the papers they give you, it says misdemeanors report once a year. Then we find out, CSC4 is classified as a felony and he has to check in 4 times a year. He was a late checking in and they threw him in jail. Now he is being charged for that! We need to change the laws to take juvinelles off, CSC4 off, reduce all check in's to once a year, and limit the time to a few years. The classifications are too broad. Let's get legislation passed to change this! He had to pay for his mistake already, why does the law keep punishing him, and inhibiting him from being a contributing member of society?

To the lady with the csc 4. If you research the laws the four is the only one that can be ex sponged. He can do that and then fight the registration he has to be on it a minimum of 10 years though there are a lot of attorneys that will fight that case the laws are crap though he shouldn't have to report till age of 18 though.

dad of s.o.: Be sure that your son realizes that when adjudicated as a minor, he may get off the registry in ten years IF..IF he has a clean record. I'm not sure about this, but you may wish to read the Adam Walsh Act to see. I find it curious that no one seems to tell the kids about this so they will keep clean records for this option.

You people bitching about people on the list have no idea until one of your own gets put on there like your own son or daughter getting caught in the back seat of there car with significant other doing the nasty. If one or the other is under 16 the other one is getting put on the list. Also anyone of you complaining about this better not get caught cheating on there wife/husband adultery is another crime that will get you on there just like peeing behind a trash can. You people want to say all sorts of crap about people on that list but you don't want to research anything you just want to jump to conclusions about people wait and see a22334e think and research before you open you're mouth. Send me an address and I will show you how fast you can be put on the list all some kid has to do is make accusation against you and if you don't have 10000.00 or 15000.00 laying around then you're going on the list don't let the neighbor kid get made at you if you're a teacher I wouldn't hug you're student think before you talk don't open you're mouth and look stupid!!!!!!

Re: "SOR # 15295709"

No known scars/marks/tattoos? Then what the heck is that thing on his neck in the picture?

I think its rediculous how a girl 13 + can have sex with an older guy and it only be the guys fault.......i think they should both be convicted cause their both at consent....why ruin someones life when its both parties faults

Dear Anon Aug 12th.How old is the guy that had sex with a 13 year old. If he's 14,15,16 and their boyfriend/girlfriend then I can agree with you. If this is a woman/man a person can't consent at 13. Its called taking advantage. On the other han I was 16 and my high school was 14 almost 15 and yes we had a high school romance and because I was 16 I was charged. Although I did nothing devious in the laws eyes I am no longer a minor.

You people just don't get it. You're all retarded.

1. WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?????? Obey the law and you won't get into trouble.

That's the MOST basic rule here.

2. IF a person is below the age of consent, then they CAN NOT give consent for SEX. Period.

3. TRUE sex offenders DO reoffend. One of you is sadly mistaken. It's is their sexual orientation that gets them into trouble and that shit is hard coded. Sick, but hard coded.

18 year old lady with the 22 year old hubby that started boinking you at 16, hey, what he did at that time was illegal. It matters NOT what relationship you carry on now. If it did, then all sex offenders would struggle to continue their relationships with the children that they molest. Plus, you're still in the beginning phases of this. Your parents should have BeechUrAss. Parents have a duty to guide and raise you. YOU denied them that by going off, getting into a relationship that they tdid not approve of and getting knocked up. BLAME YOURSELF FOR YOUR HUSBANDS PROBLEMS! You should have listened.

All of you remember this, "just because it happened to you , does not change that it happened"

I'm done. Learn to be accountable.

I am a RSO. I was convicted (plea) of Att CSC-3. I was a senior, she was a freshman, no rape, it was because of age difference. But yet i'm labeled a SO for a loong time, how is that justice? I paid my debt to society for a dumb decision when i was in high school, it is not fair that i have to still pay for it when i'm 45 years old.. i am currently 28, married and can't find any work because of this. I have a skilled trade that i worked very hard to get in Tech School, even graduated top of my class, and have been in NO trouble at all since this happened, 9.5 years ago. This just isn't right. NOT EVERYONE ON THE LIST IS A MOLESTER, American public need to stop treating everyone on there as such. And stop holding me back from living a normal life. I made 1 dumb, common mistake in my life, and it has all by ended my life. That's not the America i grew up learning about.

Judging a group, rather than an individual case, requires a pea brain. (IMO)

This thing is a complete mess. Someone needs to something about it all. Someone is to make an accusation about someone and they are going away; there are no fair trials or anything. This is not what this country is supposed to be about. I know many people that were wrongfully accused of something and because of the public's perception. These cases you don't dare go to trial because if you do you're going bye bye. I know of victims admitting years later to lying about the crime after lives were already destroyed. I am one of you're third class as you call us the ones on the list. I was drinking and an underage girl performed oral on me. Even though she admitted to initiating it and that I pulled away. I still received 5 years of probation and 25 years of your list. I have my own child and had never looked at the thing until I was put on there. Some of you people really need to grow up though. I was 13 when I lost my virginity she was 14 is she a sex offender? Just like my daughters mom we were in high school together I was 17 she was 15. I guess that is a crime also. If you don't change this thing though then you should go to every high school in middle America and start signing them up. This thing people should just watch there kids a little better. The reason this law was created as every body knows was for an offender that had multiple violent convictions. Not for high school sweethearts or some one peeing outside or for some one who was lied to about age. There are a lot of groups trying to reform the list but they need help all you have to do is google and search they are out there. Well we had are first black president maybe we can have a sex offender president in about twenty years because my calculations figure out that every one is one because the laws are a mess if you look hard enough you can find one you fit into. Remember public urination is a registrable offense. To the younger guy sorry about you're luck and just keep plugging away I have meet a lot of guys in your boat.

I was put on the list at the age of 13 I am now 29 years old and have kids of my own, Im a good guy I dont have an adult record of any kind and not I get looked at like a bad/sick man I have alot of good things going on for me and my family and the past just keeps killing me.

My ex boyfriend was under investigation for a 8 yr old stating he touched her when we were all at a party... He was with me playing horseshoe and drinking SODA.

I think they should brand all predators on the forehead marking them with the degree of crime.

Statistics show that of Sexual abusers 99 percent are male and 1 percent female. Testosterone has been linked as one of the main culprits. My solution: Strike 1; lose 1 testicle, Strike 2; lose the second testicle, Strike 3; and the penis has to go. I doubt there will be any offenders after strike 1. As the resulting decrease in testosterone will make them much less likely to perpetrate a sexual crime against a child or young adult. We castrate our beloved pets who have committed no crime, but we know if their testicles are left in tact, they will be aggressive, hump people, and be hard to control. If men are going to behave like animals, they should be treated like animals. CUT THE NUTS OFF SEX OFFENDERS!!!

Every Obese woman I know, was molested and or raped as a child, every prostitute I've ever met was molested or raped as a child, every lesbian I've ever known speaks of being raped or molested when they were young. There are real consequences to the perverted acts of those men who were molested as children and grew up to molest!!! Many lives are ruined, even when the molestation is not remembered- repressed. Especially, when it is not remembered! Only 55 percent of child molesters remember being molested themselves as children. I believe the other 45 percent have repressed it but continue to act out of their subconscious.

The Majority of Molesters were friends of the family or family members to the children they molested. The majority of molesters are male 99% versus 1% female. It is far less likely that it will be a total stranger who molests your child. Mothers don't leave your children alone with any adolescent or adult male in your family! This includes the father, grandfather, uncle, or older sibling. Ladies, how well do you know your husband? My best friend at 12 years old was being molested by her father, she told her mother but her mother didn't believe her. Her mother did not WANT to believe her.

Being molested as a child can increase your risk of being raped as an adult. One woman I know very well was repeatedly sexually abused by her father as a child. When she grew up as a young adult she was raped by 3 different men on the 3 different occassions. Why? I don't know. But I theorize that she was friendly towards the would be rapists because something about them felt familiar to her. They felt like her father. And because her rapists were likely also molested as children, they felt like herself.

I am 38 years old and I am just starting to remember being molested when I was between the ages of 5-7 by my next door neighbor. Is there a statute of limitations, when I am just now remembering the crime? He raped my other neighbor when she was 13 years old. But no charges were filed by her parents because, he cried and pleaded that they not have him arrested. Shouldn't he be listed as sex offender, even though he's never been in jail for it? And what legal actions can I take now that the crime is more than 30 years old? I started remembering when he grabbed my breast (right in front of my family!) 2 years ago. My parents still live next door to him and are socially interactive with this monster!!

To the men blogging on this site and trying to make light of sex crimes and say that most cases are not real... you are probably a sex offender! What adult survivors of sex abuse go through is real and horribly painful. Just one act of a child being touched sexually by an adult is enough to bring on depression, drug abuse, sexual promiscuity, (prostitution, pole dancing, sex addiction, starring in porno etc...) Obesity and other eating disorders, low self esteem, frigidity, lesbianism, and in the case of boys; becoming a child molester. These afflictions are serious and can be linked directly to being molested! If a woman truly is falsely accusing a man of rape, it's probably because she WAS raped or molested by someone else, but doesn't remember it. All accusations should be taken seriously for this reason.

How are you going to mark the guy that got lied to about age or the person who got caught peeing in public?

OK these crimes are not light things but what do you do when your 16 year old child has consensual sex with there 15 year old partner? By the law he is a sex offender or what do you do when your husband gets caught peeing in public he is a sex offender? If you look at the age of a freshman in high school compared to a junior there all sex offenders. They should be a list but for violent offenders not for kids or people who are lied to about age lets face it this thing is out of control. A lot of families are hurt by this thing. The study shows that most girls become sexually active at age thirteen and boys at age fourteen. This thing is wrong and every body is grouped into one category for all you people to look at wait till your own child gets put on the list then you will be singing a different tun grow up people I know a lot of guys on the list who were wrongfully accused or lied to about age but there is nothing done for these people lets make all minors were arm bands to show there age and then we can find the real sex offenders not the wrongfully accused or the people that are lied to about age. Some of you people need to grow up.

I hate molesters as much as anyone... think about this... what if your step-child or ex wanted to get back at you? guess what? no proof required except the accusation gets you on this list.

My brother is on parole for a drug crime he committed when he was 19 he was released a year ago and is now 30, he went fishing where we used to go as kids our grandpas ashes and our dads ashes are spread there, unannounced to him it was a gay park, he unknowningly takes a piss an undercover cop comes up behind him, he takes a step back and touches the guy while pissing, now he has an indescent exposure and and a csc 4 case because he touched the cop while touching himself, because he is a felon already he is just screwed, the cop lies in his report becasue in his mind this man must have wanted sex from him because its a gay park, first of all he is not gay, but even if he was when did it become illegal for you to be gay? you can go the bar, hit on a woman, talk about sex, dance with her provactively should that be a sex crime? then why are they targeting gay men in parks and making htem register as if they are raping or harming children when they are just meeting up with others of their kind, i dont know alot about the gay community it just doesnt seem much fair and even less fair that a straight man is being accussed of pretty much hitting on an undercover cop in a sexual manner and could go back to prison for it....what the hell use is this registry if it is full of names that are not a threat to our neighborhood? did you know a boy who mooned his senior class as a prank now has to serve 25 years on the sex offender list, and a 12 year old boy who smacked a team mates butt at a abase ball game sex offender, the gay man trying to hit on another gay man in a bathroom, oh sorry he is not gay he is a cop now your going to jail, makes no sense to me. I have three girls and i have no interest in that list because i do not trust our police officers and i do not turst the justice system, i teach my girls what to do in case they are apporached by a starnger and i keep them close to home its my job to protect them and i sure as hell will not trust that job to some bs list that the authorities put together to get another check for the federal government oh thats right for every name the state gets money, think abou tthat before you go running some guy out of your neighborhood that simply pissed outside.

Let us together change the laws of ridiculous mandate. Pissing in public, gay men charged with sex crimes for hitting on another man in public, mooning, teens having sex, these are not threats to our neighborhoods, and have no business ruining peoples lives, if you agree and are ready to peition the courts to do something about it contact me at anglabrwn0313@aol.com

Can sex offenders live with a girlfriends children?

To no name you can as long as you are of paper if not look at youre conditions.

I know a sex offender who was falsely accused due to the fact he is gay, he had a secret on going relationship with our best freinds brother who lived a secret relationship with him and before the eyes of people he is a heterosexual which is not true cause I am here to say ive seen it with my own eyes, so my gay friend told our freind that he was having a relationship with her brother and she lost it and she tried everyway possible to ruin his life and she did, cause her daughter was molested due to her leaving her daughter for days in different places so she can go out and get high so there she got that and put it upon him its a sham cause we all grew up together.

As far as the laws that govern sex offenders really needs to be updated. I was convicted of a 4th Degree CSC with multiple variables which in 1996 I was convicted. I was dating my GF who I was dating for over a year (with parents approval) and got caught sleeping in the same bed as her. I did have sex with her (which I never denied) and was convicted as a felon. Now it's a misdemeanor and I still have a felony, wtf is up with that. How can I be a felon of a 4th degree charge when it's currently a misdemeanor?
I'm not threat to anyone, especially children (I love them, but not sexually attracted to them, yuck, yuck, yuck). They should do in all states like Colorado. Evaluate the offenders by a trained state psychologies in the field to classify rather the offender is a threat to society (which should be on a list) or someone who made a mistake and should be removed from the registry. Yes it has destroyed my life, but you know what, I know who I am and what I like (which is older woman who is older than me)and people want to be neive about us who aren't a threat to no ones children. My friends and family completely trust me with their children (even babysit)without an innocent. It's those who rape children, or women who should be on the registry. Evaluate the offenders and those who are not considered a threat should be removed from the registry. I mean they have our DNA where are we gonna go? I was married and had a child, which she is a daddy's girl and she know's I will NEVER harm her in any way. All of you who are to nieve to research a person before you label a person a baby rapier or understand how that person was convicted can burn in hell. Most of us are normal everyday people, who pays their taxes (almost impossible to find a job because of the charge)goes to work daily, raise a family in a good community (which we are not allowed to live in because of a nearby school or park) or even pick our children up from school cause the state is too paranoid (with some good reason to be)that we are going to have a smorgus board on school grounds. I mean really, does the state of michigan classify all sex offenders the same? I've been on the list for 13 years and they change the laws so much I was convicted of Failure to register because the state DID NOT NOTIFY ME of changes in the registry process. When I was convicted of Failure to Register when I went to register in 2007 and was arrested and convicted of a felony of Failure to register as a sex offender. I mean really, am I that big of a threat that they had to convict me of a meaningless paper technicality which to keep me locked up in their system?
Another thing, who is responsible for the children who leaves their children in the care of a known sex offender? Rather they trust me or not, if one of the boys falls and gets hurt in the crotch area, who is responsible? They can easily convict me of molesting a child without touching them. I think the parents should be held responsible for this. I'm tired of this BS, I'm tired of being labeled something I am NOT. Honestly I really don't care what people think of me, because I know and my Family and friends know I would NEVER harm anyone rather they are a child or an adult.
Did you know, that newly convicted sex offenders (3rd, 2nd, and 1st degree offenders) get off probation sooner that those convicted of a paper technicality? I got 5 years probation, $850.00 in fines, 6 months tether (including supervision fees, and tether fees equaling to 3000.00 before fines) and sex offenders get 6 months jail time and a 500.00 fine, as well as counseling (more fees and cost).
I'm considering moving to Colorado cause at least their they assess the offender to find if they are a threat to society or not. All of you who committed on sex offenders are all the same, should be shot and stop being so narrow minded about something they do not understand. Everyone makes mistakes and statics show that 70% of all men have slept with a minor but was never caught or convicted. Scary huh? So those of you who were never caught are lucky and DO NOT have a right to say anything against sex offenders cause you may as well join the ranks. Those who are sex offenders, I know its hard to push through this, but keep you chin up and fight back and continue with you life. Though it may be a lot harder to do things or get things done, just stay positive. Go to college, get a degree and show everyone that you aren't worthless and that people can change. Not all of use are the same or in the same solar system as the baby rapiers. Those of you who have raped children, you deserve much worse than what the state gave you. Honestly I believe you should be castrated that thrown in a psychiatric prison for the rest of your lives you POS, worthless pieces of trash. I think those who do rape children should be locked away for good and chemically castrated for harming innocent/helpless children. Yeah they can be rehabilitated but what about the child who has to live with that memory for the rest of their lives? Who's gonna rehabilitate them? Urges or not, they know the differences between right and wrong and they still do it. Your either stupid or have no regards to the safety and health (mental or physical) of children. You deserve everything that you get you worthless POS's.
Michigan needs to revised on how sex offenders are handled or managed. Evaluate us then label us. I know of a statue of limitations on how long a person can be a the list, which an attorney and about 3k in lawyer cost can help get you removed from the list. I know one person who did so and got their name removed, which they also did not deserve to be on the list. Michigan shoots and asks questions later. I hate this state and convict everyone on anything just so they can make more money. It's a business not a criminal system.

This is in response to the individual who feels that we should know who are neighbors are in relation to murder. Honestly, on what Registry will your name appear?

Can a level two sex offender get custody of their minor children?

I was raped by a family member who was to be charged with a 3rd degree felony but the Prosecuting Attorney let him plea bargain down to a 4th degree misd. due to a shortage of manpower in the PA office. He said a plea deal would be quicker. Now the family member who raped me wants his conviction set aside because he's been a good boy since getting into trouble and having it on his record has made his life hard and he said he's been good since then. He said he has the right to have it set aside because it has been several years since he was convicted. Plus he has found out he has cancer and wants to live the rest of his life without it being on his record. My feeling is the public has the right to know the type of person he is. He made the conscious choice to do what he did and I pay for it every day and he shouldn't get a free ride just because he's been a good boy since then. He put me through Hell and now he wants to be rewarded for being good. Having it set aside is a privilege not a right. If the people who commit the crime don't want anyone to know then they know what they did is wrong and shouldn't have done it in the first place. There is no delete button in life for sex offenders in my opinion.

Thank goodness this site is available to help keep our children safe but more work needs to be done, stiffer jail time and no parole.

PLEASE sign this petition and pass it along in any way you can. We need all of your help to change the laws pertaining to child sexual abuse. We need stiffer sentences and a better way to track these creeps once they are released. We all know they will just do it again and again!!!

I'm on the msp site for a charge I committed in 1991 and was found guilty in 1993 by being a juvinile under the age 14 does that require me to be on the public registry I know I got to be on the national registry?

I pray for anyone comitting these kind of crimes. You are mentally ill and need help . Today a 50 year old man said something very nasty to my sister and im pissed as hell!

This page much too hard to access information. Check out Minnesota's sex registry and the first page that pops up is one for person to put zip code and information right there!!!!!

Change the way people get information about sex offenders in certain zip codes. I should not have to give my name in order to get this information. When a person is thinking of moving into a new location, this is information that should be available to anyone just by entering in that zip code with the names of all offenders then popping up with 'x' of where they live in that area highlighted. A person should NOT have to release their name in order to receive this information. It is public record.

At the age of 19 I was charged with inappropriately touching my then girlfriend now wife's little sister who at that time was 15. I had never been in any trouble prior and was raised to always trust the police. This is where I went wrong, apparently it is easier to falsify documents then do actual police work and in today's society you don't need any evidence just a good story and they close the books and I am stuck with this awful title. Sex Offender which in reading through some of these posts you get a really good idea of what people automatically assume of you just because your on the list. After all is said and done I have no criminal record but still have to register as a sex offender. I am know 28, married and have a wonderful son who means the world to me, unfortunately I am not able to do a lot of the things that "NORMAL" parents get to do all because of a fairy tale story. Please dont get me wrong I am not against the Sex Offender Registry but it needs to be revamped, people who rape children and women are sick and deserve to be punished but what about the ones who didnt why are we punished just because its easier to belive that it happend rather then it didnt. I am hoping to find out if there is a way to get my name off the list or at least tell me why its on there when I have no record! Please let me live a normal life and be able to enjoy my son and go to see him in a school play or a sporting event. AND PLEASE PEOPLE NOT EVERYONE ON THE LIST IS A RAPIST! SOME OF US ARE EVERY DAY PEOPLE! GOD FORBID IT SHOULD EVER HAPPEN TO YOU, REMEMBER ALL IT TAKES IS FOR SOMEONE TO BE JEALOUS OR MAD AND SAY SOMETHING BECAUSE YOU COULD FIND YOURSELF ON THE OTHER SIDE BEING TREATED LIKE AN "ANIMAL"!

You know not all offenders are bad people. some were teenagers who got tried as a juvenile for having sex with there then girl friend. Im one of them and I hate how people label me with the sick people who do these nasty crimes. Im not a sex offender in my eyes but to public I am. These laws are dumb and stupid you cant get any help when your labeled this, try raising a new born when you cant get a job because your labeled. something to think about.

WHY ISN'T THERE A VIOLENT OFFENDER LIST - PEOPLE THAT MURDER OR ASSAULT?

What is the use of having a sex offender list if you can not pull up the list itself. The state of Michigan makes it too hard to check our neighborhood. WHY????

I'm the wife to a registered sex offender and this stuff is rediculous! I believe there should be a registry but it should be done differently. For example only list repeat offenders. My hubby was 10 years old and didnt know better, considering his step-dad molested him for years and his mom knew about it and never did anything. He is now an adult, the man who did it to him walks free, but he still has to register and follows all the rules. What we were told is being this was a formal hearing and went in front of a judge... that is the only reason it is not sealed!

I have a step son who lives in another state. His mother has been accused of neglect and may have him taken away. That state has looked into hubby's record, considers him not a threat and cleared my hubby for full custody of him if he's taken away. But in this state I cannot even go to the store and leave the kids with him because of this title.

I was reading some of these comments. I agree that some people deserve to be punished and have to register as a sex offender if they are doing unlawful acts such as rape or taking advantage of a person. However, there are some people who I do not believe deserve the kind of treatment as others. For example: I know this guy that messed around with a 13 year old when he was 22 (consensually fondled and kissed, no actual sex involved, she said no so he stopped) and got sent to prison for 5 years. He learned his lesson and got out a year ago. Well now he is a registered sex offender according to Michigan law. He completely turned his life around, started working 3 jobs and absentmindedly forgot to change his address when he moved, parole violation, first offense. Upon telling his Parole Officer that he messed up, he was immediately arrested and sentenced to 90 days in prison. Now, 11 days before he is due to get out, they are charging him for failing to register which overrides his original fixed out date. Please tell me how these guys who purposely don't register as a sex offender get a slap on the wrist and 30 days in county jail while guys like my friend mess up once and turned himself in get such a harsh punishment. Right now he is facing up to 4 years in prison again for a charge that they have been sitting on the entire time he's been incarcerated. Is it even legal for them to throw an extra charge on after he's been set to be released and hasn't done anything wrong?? I'm starting to wonder what is going through the heads of whoever is involved in all of this. They have ruined the life of a guy who has completely turned his life around and is a waste of time to keep punishing while there are still rapists and child molesters running around free!

I am wondering why the Listings do not Include AKA's, Aliases, or Names and or titles the Sex Offenders may use.
