Hi, I need to check the Oklahoma registry for a friend of mine. who was not familiar with your website. Not only does this site list registered sex offenders, it also lists delinquent sex offenders! Thank you!

can you please tell me where to find the rules/laws on where sexual predators can can not reside? Lucky me I have a new neighbor.

can you please tell me where to find the rules/laws on where sexual predators can can not reside? Any help will be great!

I believe truely not all persons/people convicted as a sex offender are truely a sex offender . Don't get me wrong I believe there is wierd / demented males/females that get a kick out of it (which is very sick and gods punishment will prevail over those individuals) ... I know a person that was wrongfully convicted , due to someone knowing the D.A. and things being twisted , etc .

I guess we all can look at the situation in many different ways , but I feel there should be some loop-holes / ammendments to the laws , if somone (he or she) , by the other party having a choice ( someone that knows the person and knows they would do nothing) Where are our rights? , the state gets to choose ? Why not us the people or person who truely knows the individual , why couldnt they make a request , saying " Yes I know his/her history , I'm taking this chance " If someting was to happen then , it is that own persons fault ..

But if making the right choice , the two could have somewhat a normal life and the children could have both parties there , to help raise , comfort and protect them , I don't even think they thought of the children of someone convicted of a sex crime ... How damaging not only to the parents but to the child that , has no idea why they can't see daddy or mommy and "Why , don't you two live together ?" I am sorry others may disagree with me , but I find it horrible ... I think there should be some ammendments . Also say the offender has a younger minor sibling , they can never see there sister or brother again ...? Wait a minute , thats there own blood!

They can't live near a school ? Within 2000 feet , you know how many schools are everywhere , what we have to run them all to the woods , WHAT THEY NEED TO LIVE IN A TENT somewhere ? I checked , in most cities there is a school practically in every neighborhood ... how the hell , are they suppose to find anywhere in town to live , not to mention daycares? The law is very strange , they can't live near a school , but if the want to further their eduication they can go to one ? HMM, has me stumped .... I dont believe everything I hear , I dont believe everything I see , and defintly don't believe in ruining a persons life for the rest of their life , because some girl or guy said " OH, mommy he /she touched me !" WHEN THAT SOMEONE SHOULD BE PUT ON A LIE DETECTOR TEST AND MADE SURE THEY AREN'T LYING , because if they aren't , YAH punish the criminal , but if they are punish the one who was about to take away , A GOOD PERSONS LIFE , just because the were trying to get even , or play a cruel joke, or jealous , etc... Ok I'm done :-) thanks and just my opinion !

There is no justice in the system - what happen to proof w/out a doubt???

I'm totally for putting away guilty sexual predators but putting someone away w/no history and no proof based on a couple messed up teenager's word - crazy! and scary!Basically if you don't like someone just say they touched you! How sad!

I believe this sex offender registration .is just getting way out of hand. Especially for guys charged with 2 nd degree rape , not knowing the girl was under 16,. they didnt set out to intentionally harm anyone or break the law. How about drug dealers registering. They set out to do the crime Not all alleged sex offenders do.

2 girls now of age (18) are living "their" life in Tulsa, OK while their mother is a registered sexual offender and her boyfriend was charged w/sexual assault and sentenced to life....... based on lies and various stories - where is the justice??? where is the system??? Obviously the truth doesn't prevail - ask anyone who knows these girls - they are, have been and will always be messed up!! Ask anyone who knows the man they accused- he is one of the most wonderful men you could ever know!!! He has so many friends and family holding onto faith and hope that these girls can't live w/themselves til they tell the truth!

I am very angry with myself for what I did. I do feel that there are certain surcomstances in the laws and leagal system that should be considered thow. I had one victom and it was my stepdaughter. It was my only offense against any law in my life I told on my self and I recieved Defered Adjudication. I am off Probation And Have Been For 3 years but I do have to register here in Texas for life. There are positive things such as I have reconsiled with my stepdaughter, my wife stayed married to me hoping that I would get my mind right after counsiling, witch I did, but it shure is hard to go on living when you feel that they would be better off without you and all of the hastle. You know what I mean?

It is very hard for the leagal system too tho. It is scary when you see all the children out there and you want them to be safe but you don't know how to keep them from getting hurt. They can only do the best they can with what they have. Besides us offenders are the ones that did wrong. The law should not be blamed for it.

I do believe that punishment should fit the crime. Our state is in desperate need of a tier system. We have placed all the offenders into one category and as far as I am aware this is the only crime we don't distinguish levels of. It is odd to me that I could be living next door to a murderer who poses more harm to me then most offenders and never know it. A person who exposes themselves should not be treated the same as a person who has raped or vitimized a child. Ultimately, it is not the person who lives next to the schools or daycares who harm our children but rather a person who has traveled a distance to be unrecognized by locals or a relative/friend of the family.

My grandsons father ( I say that loosly) is a child molester. My daughter is now divorced from him, but he still has rights to see his son. Further more he now has twin daughters with his second wife. I'm sure he was ordered not to go around the child he molested again. By the way, this child was his half-sister., This is incest, but the law lets him around his own children. Are they so ignorant to think he won't do it to them? Go figure

Do you have to register if you are only arrested not convicted?

a teenager who flirts with a man and wants to be sexually involved is a messed up girl is not a rape victim. maybe a victim of crappy parents.

Crimes against children are the worse crimes there are. I believe that offenders who do harm upon an innocent CHILD should be punished to the full exent and may god nor anyone have mercy. They didn't when they did it. I really do not believe a predator can be ever change and will always be just that and should not be allowed back into society. I hope one day we decide to protect our children and ensure laws to keep these crimes from happening to our babies but I am happy this web site gives us a glimpse of what offenders we do have around us.

Okiay when I hear about a small child being molested by a grown ass man it tears me up inside. They are innocent and pure and should never be used in such a foul way. I do understand there are different types of sex offenders and maybe they should be put into groups? The ones that bother me the absolute most are the ones that do it to the children that are defensless and cannot fight. As a parent I teach my children about predators and show them this web site as well as others and not to put trust in just anyone. The other day in the paper a 5 year old came up missing 45 min. later - found -she was naked her clothes 2 .5 miles from there. She had to be rushed to the hospital due to injuries consistent that of rape. Where is the justice for a child such as this? Do you condeem the parents because they believed that the child was safe in her own yard? Or make tha bastard that did this crime pay? No not all sex crimes are the same......

i am marrying a register sex offend this next year. everything about his case is shady to me. the way to police handle it how when he got in trouble know knew where is was not even the judge and he was in jail. i have his 4 month old daughter. is it illegal for him to live with her? does a jugde sign a paper ? does a parole officer say its ok or does anyone even say anything. he has a 11% chang of doing it again but i know him so i'm not worryied. so please let me know

Please encourage your Oklahoma politicians to pass legislation concerning Romeo and Juliet laws from the Adam Walsh Child Protection Act, section 111 which states if a "victim" is at least thirteen years of age and "offender" no more then four years age difference and CONSENSUAL these young men/women would not be made to register under the current laws. Its time to clean up the registry and stop filling it with teen consensual sex cases.



http://www.ethicaltreatment.org/mary.htm



This could be any one of your children, nephews, grandson's etc.



Help me pas this Romeo and Juliet law contact me:

Stop allowing politicians to spew how dangerous all offenders are and keeping your fear in place therefore keeping them in office.

I live on the same block as 7 sex offenders in florida and I am not happy about that as a victim of sexual abuse and rapes Im scared to even go out my door or even anwser my door.... I will certainly be moving soon

Where are the persons that have been convicted of murder and released

from incarceration listed. ? I did not see any on this list.

Which is the wrost crime ?

maggie: offenders are everywhere. You cannot continue to live in fear. Might I suggest you get help with dealing with your past history and educate yourself as much as possible as to your states laws for offenders.

my 15 yr old son is hanging out with a 18 yr old female. I have already told him and her IF there is any sexual activity I will press charges. I am right in thinking that would be considered statutory rape?

my brother dated a girl who said she was 16.he was 20 but as it turned out she was14 so he found another girlfriend of age so her mom pressed charges against him he is in jail but while in jail the mother let her go out with his best friend of the same age.they broke up and she dated his 20 year old brother but they broke up and the mother pressed charges on him simply because she liked the other brother better!why is she not paying for something she knows is wrong too!

How is it that a man who was convicted in Texas of "Aggravated Sexual Assault on a Child" (age 13), is subject to a registering for life, but then moves to Oklahoma and is only required to register for 10 years?

Diffrent States have diffrent guide lines you must go by.

Have you ever made a mistake so bad, you'd give your left arm to go back in time and change it? Maybe you haven't but i have. I've heard people say, "i wouldn't change a thing about the choices i've made, and i regret nothing." Well, they obviuosly haven't made a choice as bad as mine. 8 years ago, 2 weeks after my 18th b-day, i fooled around with a 13 year old. Biggest mistake of my life. Not only did that effect her and her families life, or mine, but everybody around us. And it'll effect everybody around me for the rest of my life. I would seriously give ANYTHING to go back in time and beat the hell outta myself before i did it. But can't. My only choice now is to TRY to live a normal life. I want to have a wife and kids just like everybody else. I already have custody of my 4 year old son from a previous marriage. Obviously the court system didn't see me as a pedifile or they wouldn't have given me my son! Yet, every time i move, Within a week there's fliers handed around the neighborhood and i get knocks on my door from people wanting to know what's up. Which i'm kinda fine with until I get told to either move out within a month or be "DELT WITH", or my house VANDALISED, or all the tires on my F***IN SLASHED! And all this because i was young and just plain STUPID, a little teeny bopper came on to me and i was drunk enough to say "f**k it" And i probably wouldv'e never been in the situation i am now, if i wouldn't have told on myself, cuz i had a guilty conscience and couldn't keep what i did to myself. I don't THINK like a child molester, i don't ACT like a child molester. And i'm not out to touch your damn kids! Or watch them when they play outside and have dirty thoughts! Or peek in there window while they're changing. I don't THINK like that. I'm a guy who made ONE seriously horrible mistake, and still trying to make everything right, live a normal life, be a good role model to my son, and a good neighbor. But noone will let me! Do you know how it's feels to be tormented for the rest of your life for one bad mistake you made 2 weeks after your 18th b-day??? I DO!! And that's why if I HAD a chance to change the mistakes i made in my life, i would. Anybody who says they wouldn't change ahything, just hasn't done anything BAD enough. --Mike--

Oh, by the way. After i did my time, and got outta jail. I was sitting at a bus stop, she came up behind me, wrapped her arms around me, kissed me on the cheek and said; " i still love you!" Next day, i went and told my P.O what she'd done. So don't give me this CRAP about what I DID TO HER. How SHE'S the victim. Or how i tormented HER and her family. Her family didn't give a damn, and neither did she. I told on myself, remember? Last i heard of her, she was still askin about me. Me and my son are the victims here. My son is the one who's gonna get picked on and bullied at school because his dad's face is on the internet. ---Mike---

Write your congressmen who claim this is not double jeopardy, because it is not punishment. duh. Souinds like you are being repunished to me!

Even though you told on yourself you would think the judge would have been asking her parents questions on why she was out at a party with drinks there, and herself as well. and in your situation yes it was a mistake, but alot of these girls are doing things at such young ages when they reach a certain age, and they are much at fault for their actions, but not for the hormones, we all go through that, but in diffrent ways, we are human, but the State should pay more att: to the People who hurt children, and force them selfs on people, not the ones who are just as much at fault as the other party for having sex. I think the States Ass back wards too me, and I had my son molested a year ago, So everyones intitles to their own op: I guess.

I think your sentence was harsh, and she should have got one two, it did take two, right? And for her too say that too you after you got out, I think that she is sick, and twisted, and you had goton screwd, not only by her, but by the justice system as well.

I believe the new law being thrown upon the states by the Feds (revised Adam Walsh) will require minors who have committed sexual offense to register in all 50 states. starting age 14... Thank you Republican Administration.

There are some real problems out there. Kids are being convicted and having to register as sex offenders while real rapists and sleeze bags are not even being charged. Why are they not going after the real sex offenders? A guy date rapes a girl, then stalks, threatens and harasses her and no one would bother with the paperwork to file charges. Incredible!

Is the law enforcement and justice system really that inept? It sure seems so.

I have a question! For anyone who lives in Okc...how does having a registered sex offender for a parent affect the children? Do kids really find out or not...and How???

Jasper: There are many ways to determine if a sex offender is dangerous after incarceration. Too much info. to go into, but rest assured there is testing and interview and history proceedure. However. In most cases, the states dictating the laws, do not desire to develop panels to review the offender's history. Too expensive, they say. Some states have stepped forward. I am beginning to think alot of this registry hubbub is due to neurotic individuals who are pumped with fear from the media. Remember that the recidivisim rate for offenders is the lowest of all crimes. Other crimes (according to the DOJ study 1994) can have 75% recidivism rates. This registry needs to be re examined, but will not as long as it brings $$ to the public safety divisions of our state governments that presently need to balance their budgets. (IMHO)

I do think there is a real problem with sexual offenders in all states. But I do think there is real problems with the regerstration process also.

I have a nephew that was convicted and served time in Texas. He was 18 she was 14. It was not violent

After serving the complete sentence he returned to his home state of Oklahoma. He registered and done all of the things that is required by the state.

He filled out an application at a local company and put on the application that he had been convicted and served time for a sexual offence.

He was hired by this company and was promoted to a lead person within a short period of time.

After about 6 months in this position his wife told some of the people on the job about his record. These people then went to the personal office and stated that they did not want to work with an offender.

This company demoted him from lead person back to a machine.

I guess we should be glad that he was not terminated!

My problem with this is he has done everything that is required of him. He has lived in the same place, got a job, bought a home, but because of some peoples complaints he lost the job he had worked for.( I think this should be decrimation)

This has been such a degrading process for this young man. He has tried to improve his life but continues to be kicked down again.

How many times is he to be punished for 1 stupid mistake?

i am marrying a sex offender in a few months and i have read his case and i know him he wouldnt do that. this girl had a crush and he turned her down because she was too young. he did the right thing and she lied. how is that justice? not to mention they found evedence to prove he did not do it and they want to let it lie rather than take it back to court because he did his time already (bulls**t) now life is hard on us because he cant live certain places and be certain places and the way they did his driver liscense is WRONG they need to starighten the laws out. big time!!

eeeeewwwwwwww sex offenders

Are you kidding me, all you whiners? Shut up. You committed a crime, not just any crime, but a crime against humanity. Hurting a child is the worst thing you can do. Shut up, take your punishment. And, don't be angry with people who actually love their children and want to protect them from creeps like you. If you don't want to have to register as a sex offender, then here's a hint...don't be a sex offender!

"The Predators are hiding on the Internet. With 78% on Tier III, "I totally agree.

We need to educate ourselves, not be lead around by knee jerk emotional reactions. The laws as they are written, protect no one, yet endanger everyone. Read: "The Crux of the Problem..." at cfcoklahoma.org

I am very upset over the hatred on this issue. So many people are misinformed about how the law is set to punish anyone accused of this crime. This crime has the most convictions of innocent people than any other. Yes there are preditors out there and it can be hard to tell them apart. But, my 19 year old son has to do probation and register and he is innocent. He could not prove himself because the system was just totally against even hearing him out. He was a good father and took care of the kids more than the stupid mother. I was there everyday because his wife would not clean house, wash the kids or hardly feed them appropriately. I went over there and did these things and my son when he got off of work. He said the wrong things during integrogation and was somewhat sarcastic, he was taken literally even though he told them repeatedly that he was innocent. He didn't really understand his rights and Yes everything he said that could be taken lierally was. His life is ruined because of his step mother in law who has accused several people of the same thing which we brought up and we were told it couldn't be used. I have been crying daily, I am seeking counseling and just stared medications. His wife knows he did nothing and tried to defend him then they started threatening her. She doesn' t have the kids right now, they still love each other. He is very depressed.

sad mother: Ironically, the registry cannot "punish". It is a civil law .(IMO) If it is used to "punish", it will be considered unconstitutional, as the punishment is passed down by the court sentence.

Ok my friend needs a lawyer In OKlahoma . Was one of those romeo & juliet cases. He was over 18, she was under age. He got charged cause parents got mad, Now he has to register as a sex offender every 3 months to verify his place of residence. hes been out of prison for almost 4 years. He has followed all the guide lines and has been registering every time he received the paper to do so . last 9 months he has not been receiving letter. he has called into his local sheriffs office and stated he did not receive it, they let him come in and do it . Now this 3rd time they issued a warrent for his arrest for failure to regisiter. Other members of his household can verify that it was never received nor delivered. since its a small town he even had the local post master keeping an eye out for it. Nothing was ever sent....what are his rights and what can he do ? he does not deserve to be sent back to prison when this whole time he has been following the guide lines...Please give adivce or give lawyers numbers in oklahoma city, stillwater, ponca city region.. my friend is really scared and he got screwed over the first time. i'm trying to not let it happen again.. thanks Kim

The laws were based on the myth that recidivism rate was high for sex offenders. The entertainment news media and politicians for ratings and votes perpetuated this myth until we have laws based on emotion and not fact. As a result, the laws do "more harm than good." In fact the laws as they are written actually endanger our children and the whole of society. The laws protect no one.

Please visit www.cfcoklahoma.org. We have many articles relevant to Oklahoma, as well as studies on recidivism and much more.



For example:



US Department of Justice, 2003

http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/press/rsorp94pr.htm

• Sample size – 9,700 sex offenders



• Length of time – 3 years

• Re-offense trigger – reconviction (Doesn't mean a new sex crime)

• Results – 5.3% sexual offence. 3.3% child molestation.





http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/press/rsorp94pr.htm



Highlights include the following:



* Released prisoners with the highest rearrest rates were robbers (70.2%), burglars (74.0%), larcenists (74.6%), motor vehicle thieves (78.8%), those in prison for possessing or selling stolen property (77.4%), and those in prison for possessing, using, or selling illegal weapons (70.2%).

* Within 3 years, 2.5% of released rapists were arrested for another rape, and 1.2% of those who had served time for homicide were arrested for homicide.

* The 272,111 offenders discharged in 1994 had accumulated 4.1 million arrest charges before their most recent imprisonment and another 744,000 charges within 3 years of release.

I lived in Puerto Rico from the late 70's to 84 during that time my daughter was molested by her baby sitter son who at the time was between 15 and 17 years old. she was 4 years old at the time. My daughter is now 29 and has never gotten over what happen to her. I moved back to the main land and till this day I know that if the sitters son did this and got away with it he more then likely did this this to another child. I would like to know if there is a way to find out if he can still be prosecuted.

eileen20: this is taken from the Adam Walsh act of 2006. Not sure of latest updates:

QUOTE: "Defines "jurisdiction" to include a state, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and federally recognized Indian tribes."

You may want to read this act to determine statute of limitations.

Some one very dear to me was wrongfully accussed and for a case not reguarding the case being charged for. anyways, this person is moving to ok and i am trying to find out what all the laws are pertaining to what he has to do/ rules to follow, being a registered sex offender.Does any one know of a website I can go to in order to review all the laws and everything for registered sex offenders?

We have found out that a friend of ours is on this list. But when i go to look for his name it doesnt show it. I know it was out of Texas and now lives here in shawnee. They said he is on the list,but i cant find him by his name. Please help me

Does anyone know where I can find a list of crimes that if convicted, require registration?

I found this website for searching and mapping sex offenders in your neighborhood Search Sex Offenders in Your Neighborhood.

I think the sex registry is just a way to continue to punish someone even after they have paid for their crime. That shuold not be allowed in this country, what happened to the freedoms we supposedly have? I think the criminal system is creating criminals by their so called internet sting operations, the police lie and set men up on sex charges and it fuels the justice system gravy train. The cops don't serve and protect the people anymore, they sit on their butts on computers looking to entrap another man into becoming a sex offender. And the police are doing quite well at their new way of creating crimes and new criminals to fill up their prisons. Check out Florida as a good example, they have lots of sex offenders on their registry, most imported from other states. Men that never touched anyone, only were stupid enough to be entrapped by a police officer will now have their lives destoyed. Not to mention their families lives as well. How can you be convicted of a crime on a minor, when there is no minor involved, just another adult, a cop? How has America become a country where the police manufacture crime instead of protect against it. I have no respect for the police anymore, I think they are worse than the criminals. Shame on this country for allowing such things to happpen.

I married my husband in 2000. He was convicted of gross sexual imposition (which in Oklahoma is lewd molestation). He served time in an Ohio prison 2 years 8 months and was released without any probation or parole. He was required to register for 10 years. In 2008, the state of Oklahoma changed his registering time to lifetime. Where is the justice in that? He was told by his lawyer that if he didn't say guilty he would get 25 years to life in jail. He served his time but feels like he is being convicted all over again. It is not fair.

To Standing by Him for life. I am so sorry for what you and your husband are going through. You are right, it is not fair to be labeled as a sex offender. I think if you serve your time you should be free to resume your life. It is an outrage that this sex registry exists and has ruined the lives of so many. I think the ACLU should step in and put a stop to this. Something needs to be done to put an end to this sex offender registry. It serves no real purpose other than to make life hell for a lot of Americans and their innocent families.

I can't believe anyone would defend a sex offender. They can never pay ther debt to society... ruining the lives of children. They should never be given another chance after that...

I am married to and have a child with a man who was convicted of sexual assault on a child. It was a FAMILY dispute, an uncle wanted some land, my husband was on drugs at the time, he tought he'd teach him a lesson and get back at my in-laws at the same time. The case was MISHANDLED in the state of Texas...crooked judge and lawyer. My husband now has to register for life in Texas, we can't live in an apt. This uncle has no contact with my husband, *good thing cuz I'd have to tell him off*. I KNOW that there are sick people in the world that DO molest children, however my husband is not one of them...to all the people who are lumping them all together, it's not necessarly true. Innocent people are being set free from erroneous prison sentences EVERY DAY!!!! Use your best judgement, if you feel something is hinky...it probably is. We're trying to move to OK, next year my husband is already there... anyone who can help with info on the risk assessment please let me know...I know every state is different.

Wow, I'm completely disgusted and amazed at some of your pathetic excuses!

FACT: You may really, really like someone; but that does NOT mean you are with that person 24/7. While I can understand not wanting to believe someone you are close to, that doesn't make it not happen.

FACT: Statistically speaking less than 2% of sexual assault claims are false (FBI Crime Lab). I do believe that 2% is 2% too many though. People making a malicious claim should also be punished as well.

FACT: If you have children, you have an obligation to protect them. If you knowingly allow your children around a sex offender and something happens--you should have your children removed from your care and jailed for negligence. You are NOT the judge, forensics examiner, or jury; I have found that most of the time people base what they know off of what the sex offender tells them! Criminal records are public, don't take anyone's word for it regardless of how much you want to believe them! Get copies of the trial or court documents and look for yourself.

FACT: Our justice system is NOT perfect and unfortunately there are some travesties of justice, but they are NOT as common as you might think.

My Uncle's ex-sister-in-law was dating a guy who swore he was 18 and the girl was 17, her dad caught them making out and called the police. Thinking it wasn't a "big deal" he admitted everything to help the police, and was wrongly convicted for it. LUCKY for the kids around I have more sense than the ex-sis-in-law and called a buddy to get the records. HE WAS 25 AND THE GIRL WAS 8 AND HE WAS CHARGED WITH AGG SEXUAL ASSAULT OF A CHILD (HE DIGITALLY PENETRATED HER).

FACT: To the person wanting that Romeo & Juliet Law....ARE YOU SERIOUS???? You think that a 13 yr old little girl is mature enough to not be manipulated by a 17 yr old? Why not just do away with child molestation altogether??

THE MOST IMPORTANT FACT: Not all molestings leave behind DNA or leave a child battered/beaten. I personally witnessed a 21 mth old get molested at a prison visitation area. Baby was running by (mother's negligence) and sex offender reached out and grabbed her crotch area. The whole event was around 3 seconds....do you think there would be DNA on her pants? Luckily it was caught on video and we were witnesses.

My bio-sperm donor molested me for years. Alot of things he did was masturbation (both ways), chest fondling, rubbing on me through my clothes, etc. There was eventual penetration. However, there were plenty of times that a routine Dr.s exam would not have produced 'solid' evidence. So please consider this before rushing to judgements because there "wasn't sufficient evidence". I was 12 I told my mom, though I knew she already knew...that got my face slapped. I was 15 and filed charges on both parents, CPS and our local police left me in the home with them. I was literally locked in my room when not in school and told harsh things I won't go into here. Finally I recanted just to get out of the home, then I ran away. Years later in 2005 my father was finally convicted (1st out cry was in 1989). He plead guilty to Agg Sexual Assault of a Child. A lot of people came forward with 'character witness' claims because he was "such a good christian man who would give you his last dime". Once released on parole, he took multiple polygraphs. The only ones he passed were the ones he admitted to molesting/raping me; my 2 brothers and sister; at least 17 other victims; and he had been doing it since 1969!!!

Nothing happened to my mother, even though her only concern when speaking to the Harris County, Texas DA was "Am I going to jail too?". So regardless of how great you think someone is or that you 'know' them----YOU DON'T (of course that doesn't mean everyone is a child molestor, but you don't know your pastor's panty fetish-your mothers 'personal massager' color-your adult kids exhibition habits; the point is you don't know every aspect of your closest loved one's lives)

PLEASE GIVE THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT TO THOSE WHO CANNOT PROTECT THEMSELVES....How can we expect our kids to take care of us tomorrow if we cannot take care of them today???

My son due to a bad marriage was caught in an internet sting. No victium (a 27 year old cop) and had to take a plea, or spend 5 to 25 years in prison. This was his first offense ever, now in the Great State of Oklahoma he is on the Violent Aggravated Sex offence Registry. I do believe this to be entrapment. This is what can happen if you go into and 18 and over chat room and a cop pretends to be 13 they are the ones who should be on the sex offender list for LIFE.

To the poster about the internet son, are you serious??? I can understand not wanting to think ill of your son, I absolutely cannot make sense of making excuses for his behavior. He may have had a bad marriage, but that in N-O way constitutes his decision to do a sexual chat with a 13 or alleged 13 yr old girl. He may not have planned on chatting with a 13 yr old, but once he learned her age he could have stopped before it got sexual. YOU should look into it further before publicly showing your lack of accountability towards your son. For online internet stings to hold up in court there MUST be a transcript of the entire conversation; and an offer or request for a sexual act must have been made by H-I-M. So YOUR son was caught red handed after knowing full well that the 'girl' was only 13. It's more believable that your son took a plea deal because with the entire transcript in the prosecution's hand it would be impossible to expect a chance at a not guilty verdict. While I can see your perspective as a mom and not wanting to think our children are capable, part of loving them is making them own up to their actions and taking responsibility---not making excuses for their behavior and blaming the victim--or would be victim. It doesn't mean you don't love them, it means you are a mother who stands up for what is right--even if your child is the one in the wrong.

PS... my husband would have a "bad marriage" too if he was trying to hook up with 13 yr old girl's--real or percieved.

My life has not been good in the since that when i was only 18 a 15 year old destroyed my life. Because i was 18 and she 15 and we slept together now im a violent sex offender and have to register for life. I dont get it why not focus on the real child molesters and stop wasting tax payers money on hunting down the ones whom are not a real problem. I know im not out side parks schools and daycares waiting on a victim this law is not right. I have a wife and two girls and a good job, but I keep going to prison for not following the regisration act 2 times now they have thrown me in prison for nothing im not hurting anyone nor have I ever. If anything the sweet inocent 15 year old girl who was giving it up to every body should be on some registery for look out men.

The oklahoma laws for registering as a sex offender are in need of some change I personaly know a woman/mother that has to register for life for having sex with a grown man she made a mistake I think a life time of registering is a little much in her case the life timers should be for child rapist and people that actualy violently rape people at the rate their going in 20 years 1/3 of oklahomans will be registered sex offenders for life.

Im not near perfect, in 91, when i was 19yrs . I made a huge mistake dating a 16 year old, I received a 3 years probation and ten years of registeration, just recently I got a letter stating that i'm now a level 3, register every 3 months for life. Wow! how did they just hand down a death sentence. I came from a good family, with morals, nice homes, respect, paid my dues to society, and now I feel like i'm on the run, trying to find a place to live without them notifying the apartment manager and have me evicted. They give you only limited time to find a place to live, if not then you have violated the registeration act, and you face prison time. I believe 80% of registered sex offenders are pediphile and rapists, but not everyone is the same, I was a teenager crying out loud, how did I get grandfather in with this new Law. Instead of focusing on my future and business, and have a family. I can no longer do that for ever, now I have to focus on where I can be accepted to live. Recently I was evicted from the apartment and lost the girlfriend that we were both deeply in love. I had suicidal thoughts everyday, what I dont understand is how do the public judge me, when they don't know who I really am, and how I ived my life. it's pathetic, people are always judgemental and under wrong assumptions everyone of us is bad. Just see how it feels if one day, just one day your teenager son falls in love and were charge with rape. Until then will you understand.

My 2cents. WHY IS society so brutal on there opinions of sex offenders come on, everytime we turn around somebody somewhere is getting molested by a sexoffender or someone taking advantage of a young mind.

Everyday we hear on the news about it, sad to say peoples opinions are getting to the point of we have had enough of it. We are tired of our children getting sexual molested or hurt, young children they are our lives, they are our happiness in this world, That is why people are so pissed off they are sick of hearing about it everytime we turn around some priest some ex offender some older guy who thought the girl was 16 it gose on and on till now society has had enough.

and branded all offenders foul, I will agree honest mistakes far and few have happened but today everyone is sick of it so you all get branded as sick foul people who we chose not to be around.

It is fair no not really Ill grant some of you offenders that but can you blame society now that we hear about this crime upon our most innocent lives, our children, who will suffer the rest of there lives and some way because they were raped or molested by a adult.

My wifes sister just married a man out of prison who served 15 yrs for a sex offense he has reformed himself attends church and stays to himself I choose tho not to have anything to do with them after I found out it was his own daughter and niece he had been abusing for years. That CRIME is the most henious crime to a child period. And the fact the my sister in law says he didnt do that and trys to make is sound like is was all a mistake only makes me more ill towards him. He wont fess up to the crime even tho he pleaded guilty to all 10 counts of rape and other charges to sick to list. A crime against our children who have not yet lived life but will have to suffer some sort of mental problems because of these crimes is why we are sick of hearing about it, sick of being around people like this.

If sex offenders havent relised that they will no longer be accepted by society for the crime there about to committ then its there own dam fault. My brother in law hasnt been out of prison 2 yrs and still his wife my sister in law says it was all a lie and my own wife believes her even after I got the court transcripts she denies it. So be it she dosent want her husband to look like a monster she married who raped his own 11yr old daughter for years. I will never have anything to do with them every thats my choice she is sick just like him, after all this is her fourth marriage and it was always a game to her anyway.

I wish everyone peace and some way SEX OFFENDERS im sorry life is cruel and is even more cruel to those who harm and hurt our most presious life our young innocent children who no now better the to look to us for love and direction. YOU HARM OUR CHILDREN YOU JUST SCREWED YOUR LIFE FOREVER.

We live in Oklahoma. I want to know how a couple can be punished for life for one mistake they made. The girl lied about her age.She testified in court and admitted to lying,bringing a purse full of condoms, she came to my son and instigated them having sex. The next day she rode our horses all day. She made the statement that she was going to break up my son and his wife so she could marry my son. Because I got mad at her and said something to her about her intentions, she called her mom and said my son just raped her. My son and his wife had a clean record. They didn't even have a speeding ticket against them. Now because of this they have to register as sex offenders for the rest of their lives. They are listed as habitual offenders for making one mistake. Even tho the girl testified before a jury she she was not forced to have sex, they are still pursicuted for her lies. Someone please tell me how is this right, where is the justice in all of this. My sons' life is ruined because of her lies. WHY ISN'T SHE BEING PROSICUTED FOR LYING TO THE POLICE.
