I really need to know the rules and regulations for a juvenile sex offender in NY.

how do i report a sexual crime on a 15 year old that ended up pregnant? This is complicated because it was between family memebers ???

I have a son, his father is in prison in NY for raping a child and he doesnt feel like he needs to pay the on going support when he gets out thats went in the arrears. You need to suck it up you hurt your son and you hurt others WHAT WERE YOU THINKIG! the worse part is they are letting him out in March or April... wow its amazing watch out Weedsport NY.

It amazes me to see how people can be so callous to those whom in which they know nothing about!!! I completely agree that it is disgusting to take or force any type of sexual anything towards anyone, but especially young children!!! But what about those individuals whom have their lives destroyed by that young girl who has the ability to lie about her age because she is developed enough to make it believable?? I did it as a teenager!!! And I know hundreds of women who lied about their age too!!! Men who are forced to register as SO due to young girls lying about their age is unjust!!! As parents what we need to first pay attention to is our children is some instances. Their clothes, their body development, and definitely the company they keep!! Whether you have a son or a daughter, realize that kids today are far more advanced than we ever were and as time goes on it just gets worse!!!! Remember, know that circumstances before you slay a person, because somethings can happen to you or your children!!!

Dear Mike posted Oct 27 2009 8:25pm. Theres nothing you can do as long as they are living where thier suppose to be they have every right to live in that neighborhood as you do. So live with it!

Does anyone know the guidelines for Sex Offenders and how to get them out of our neighborhoods?

Does anybody know where i can find out how close sex offenders can live to a school? im worried about my duaghter she has to walk home from school every day becuase i cannot pick her up!

what are the constitutional concerns?

I totally agree with mike, aug 7. my brother is a registered sex offender for the same thing. he and his then girlfriend were 16, then she thought she was pregnant so she told her mom, her parents pressed charges, and since we lived in a tight-knit suburb, my whole family got ridiculed, and pretty much run out of our home. every one is not innocent, and every one is not guilty. there needs to be some kind of re-structuring of the laws here.

Anonymous Aug 3rd and 4th. I am a sex offender. No sex offender is wrongly convicted. You did something to be labeled a sex offender. The problem is some of the sex crimes have no heinous intentions. Some are sex offenders for mooning, urinating in public,consensual sex, child molestation, rape. Some are sex offenders just because they committed a crime when a child was present although there was no sexual motive they have to register. Don't believe me just google it.The thing is not all are childmolesters! Not all are dangerous to your neighborhood. Some are convicted for having sex with a childhood sweetheart. Are these the ones that are dangerous to your children?Why don't people find out the reason why before they're ready to beat or harrass a person. Some people are innoncently prosecuted! I was... I was 16 and had sex with my high school girlfriend. Her father didn't like it so he pressed charges. I don't lie about it. I don't sugercoat it. Thats what happened. I am now 36 years old and have never been arrested for anything again. So get to know a person. Someone who has a charge for child molestation these are the ones you should be worried about!

All of you who think that your husbands or boyfriends have been "innocently prosecuted" need to wake up. A sex offender will lie about anything and everything to get what they want. I hope for your sake you realize this sooner than later, after more harm has been done.

Some of you folks who have posted on here must be kidding! I know that you might believe that there are tons of people wrongly convicted of crimes, and you are wrong. It hardly ever happens. These databases are a useful tool for parents, and good neigbors to protect their children. We need to know who is living in our communities. There is NO EXCUSE for anyone committing a criminal sexual act EVER!!!

I am dating a man whom was wrongfully accused. This girl lied about her age an had a fake id and he got prosecuted by the law... is was all stat. rape... I have a daughter whom is 2 and me an him wanna move in together after he is done his term but can he live with us because of my daughter?

The "one size fits all" Sex offender registry and laws will eventually make the registry useless because so many people are on it that are not actually a threat. These laws also prevent convicted offenders from recovering themselves. As an example, 10 years ago my husband was 26 and had a consensual relationship with a 17 year old. This was illegal in Kansas and he was convicted and spent 2 years in prison and another 3 years on probation. He is on the SO registry for a few more months. He's not a risk to anyone's children, he's not a predator; he's a man who had very poor judgement at that time and has paid for his mistake. However, with Iowa's new laws he can't even go to his stepson's football games without written permission from the school. He can't go to the library and he loves to read. He's angry and says "they want me to become a hermit and just disappear, rather than letting me get on with my life." Yes, he committed a crime; but he's paid for it.... even murderers have more rights when they are released from prison.

Pissed off. Pissed off about what? So what he's a registered 2. Does he bother anyone? Is he friendly? Ever find out why he's a sex offender. Get over it people!!!! Sex offenders have to have jobs. They have to work somewhere. They have bills just like everyone else. Wake up people with the way the laws are its going to be a sex offender saying I'm working with this person. One day a person who doesn't have a criminal record is going to be the odd man out.

Pissed off!!! After working one year with a co worker... I recently found out that he is a 2nd degree sex offender. We can't really trust anyone.

People are so fast to judge someone on there past we all know that the police is not always right but if theu say you did it its law am in love with a so called sex offender and I have never ever felt usafe or bad but people tore us apart making him feel bad unsafe nasty looks the world makes me sick now my love is no longer with me and even if he has this on his head he should be allowd to be loved and give love back.

These databases are symptomatic of a feminist police state gone insane. There is no evidence that they serve any productive purpose -- and if they did work, we would also put murderers and other dangerous felons on the databases. The reason we don't is because it would just be a waste of time. These databases don't protect anybody; they only put the community in harm's way.

And as many as 1 in 3 men convicted of rape in the United States is innocent. If you want to put criminals on a database then you should start with false rape accusers.

The courts are a joke!!! A 21 yr old raped a women last year and recieved 90 days in jail (not prison) and is a registered level 1 offender. Now he raped 3 more girls!!! Way to go NY state for your lieniancy!

I wonder if anybody has any information on people that help rape survivors relocate. I have a very serious problem. I was raped in my home in 2005 while my mother was at church. The person that did it was never prosecuted for the rape. I begged the local DA's office to please take it to court and told them I was willing to go to court against this man. After the rape, he did something else unrelated and caught a prison sentence of 3-6 years. He is due to be conditionally released in August after having served time since 2005. I would like to move to canada .. I have a safe place that I can go. I have people there that care for me .. however, I have a developmentally disabled young adult son here in NY. He is over 21. I don't want to simply leave him behind and move to canada where it's possible i'll never see him again. I would like to move him to Montana so at least he could be close to me but am getting absolutely no help in how to go about this. I am scared and I also feel like I do deserve a happier life than what I have had. I don't believe having a developmentally disabled son should keep me from being safe and happy .. and I also don't believe in giving up my son to preserve my safety. I am very scared and need help. If there is someone out there with actual ideas, I would be interested to hear them. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please have a good night.

I'm glad to see their are some open minded people on this site. Oldtimer has it straight, thank you. Not all people are child molesters on those lists. I am a spouse of an offender, who has been thru hell based on the laws. The sheer harassment at my work, my daughter at school, we moved twice to get away from it, for it only to follow us around. The killer is that the offense was a plea bargain, the victim never made charges, the DA just decided to put another notch in his belt. This was an election year and our case was political. Be understanding of who you are judging and point your finger at, you could be destroying many lives, not just the offenders.

Ive read all the comments and not to down grade the seriousness of the crime, but people these so lists arent stopping level 2 and 3 from re committing and life in prision come on your taxes still pay for them so they still are a burden on society, and what about people who get out and never register or use fake names the prisons are full of murders, rapists and all kinds thats why the jails are over crowded, and the courts are over worked so how many violent criminals or inocent people do you think fall through the cracks in our justice system, and our juvinle system is the same but one question if your son/daughter was accused of this crime as a juvinile would you think it would be right to have them register for life? and what about double jeopardy isnt that what a juvinle on the registry is in for? the way it seems you would rather have charles mason living next door or in your community than someone who has the sterotype of SO. I think this whole world is just jumping on the paranoid band wagon with certain things people are being charged as sex offenders wake up people this is the 21st century. and finally if you have nothing better to do but go on this website and worry about whos a sex offender and whos not you need to get a life!!!

anon june23: That is one of the problems anticipated when the registry started: There would be less "plea" bargains. It appears to be happening. This ties up the courts and forces the victim to testify. Not good.

Many innocent people plead guilty. When a child cries molestation everyone listens. Who is going to believe a person when ridiculous accusations come out years later and you can't remember where you were and what you were doing at the time. When a child accuses someone they don't have to have a date, just a time range. Unless you have a lot of money there is no way to defend yourself. Most men have families and don't want to take the risk of going to trial and being found guilty because of the mommy's and the daddy's on the jury who will automatically believe the kid. Believe me, I know, I lived it. In retrospect, if we could do it over again I would find the money and encourage my husband to go to trial. He lost his job and can't find another one. He is innocent, but unfortunately he did what he thought at that time was the right thing, it absolutely wasn't!

Do you realize how many innocent people are on these lists? How many who haven't done anything wrong are labeled for life?

I heard form a friend that someone we know is a sex offender and I cant find a website where I can look it up with out having to pay a fee. Does anybody know of any sites?

I've done a lot of research on the sex offender registry lawa. The sex offender database includes people convicted of all sex crimes, whether or not the victim was a child. Second, the offender "level" doesn't really measure an offender's risk to commit another sex crime. In the state of NY, its a measure of different factors at the time a judge decides on offender level. Third, and most shockingly, not all people caught abusing children are on the offender database. There have been cases of people who sexually abuse children that plead to lesser charges and aren't subject to the sex offender registry laws.

I think "oldtimer" nails it here. Its the people who aren't on the database that are the issue. The people on the database have to register their address, keep a picture on file and had to provide a DNA sample to law enforcement. I'm worried about the pedophiles that haven't been caught.

This is to all you ignorant people,Sometimes people are labeled as a sex offender and there case has nothing to with children.you all should do your rearch,before you start any trouble in your neighborhood. Just stop and think of the children that these people might have and how they are going to suffer if you decied to cause any problems in your neighborhood,by trying to get them out.worry about how those children will feel,they weren't ask to be born from these people

to anon sept 16th: The fact that this person is a registered sex offender should actually make you LESS fearful. (IMHO) It is the person not on the registry you should fear. I would recommend that you allow him/her to live his own life, Inform your kids of inappropriate touching rules, There is nothing to fear from this person , except fear itself. Go on with life and just be aware of where your children are and who they are with. Good luck

I have been living in my building for the last 15 years now. And last night I found out tha a sex offender now lives in the building also. What can I do and what do I tell my kids Iam very sacred.

I AM LOOKING THE E-ADD FOR THE NATIONAL SEXUAL OFFENDERS

DATA BANK~ I AM RELOCATING TO A NEW TOWN POSSIBLY AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK THIS UP SO I CAN BETTER PROTECT MY CHILDREN.

THANK-U
