Sex offender caught with 15 year old in bed

in MANY cases hang the 15 year old too and you shall have my Vote

They say it builds strong bones.

lol... too easy.

Couldn't resist the easy shot.

Pedophilia cannot be cured unfortunately. It's a very serious disease. The only means of preventing it is by a more serious effort by law enforcement to keep track of sex offenders. For example, the state of Kentucky mandates that every sex offender not only has to register with the state of their current address and every time they move. They also have to live maximum of X amount of feet from schools. Unfortunately, sometimes that's not enough. With the ability to contact minors with the internet, it'd be nice to see legislation pass a law for sex offenders to also register with their internet accounts (e-mail, instant messaging, chat room names, ect.). Have their probation officer randomly do scans on their PC to check for other names and files on their computer. If they violate the law, take them back to jail. Anybody else agree?

Devils Advocate HERE. The guy in the article is a pedo and hopelessly uncurable HOWEVER I have a friend we shall call him John, who was at a bar 3 years ago who hooked up with this freshman on college and did their thing. Turns out she was 16. and guess what John is NOT a pedophile. (HE also never talked to her again)

yeah pedophiles are those who knowinly prey on the young. You can't blame somebody because they were lied to, personal resposibility FTW

As a media employee and someone who tries to remove themselves from
getting caught up in the media and just observe what goes on objectively
I have to ask myself: "why is this national news?"

- a sex offender relapses. Happens, unfortunately, every day... everywhere.

- is this particular case that sensational? no, it appears to be somewhat
"consensual" and the age of the "victim" isn't so young that it causes that
much of an uproar (there's a case in England right now where a girl met two
20-something year olds and had sex with them... she looked about 16...
but she turns out to be 10! Doctors examining her afterwards couldn't believe
her age, because she is so physically mature... if trained medical professionals
can't tell, two dopey morons probably couldn't either, but a judge gave them
a light sentence with this in mind and people are pissed).

- so what is it about this case that would warrant it being made a big deal
out of... it has to be there in the details...

Oh! I got it! "INTERNET!" They met over the internet.

Perfect, there was some legislation brewing a while ago to put in place
government regulation of the internet, but people didn't like the idea and then
9/11 happened and knocked it out of the way, but it's been creeping back
up, lately. A lot of bigger companies want government regulation of the
internet, because that way they could lobby our friends on Capitol Hill to
tilt internet trade their way by making it harder for the little guys, and the
I.R.S. would love to get its nose deeper into everything, and there's some people
who don't like a place like this where you or I can say whatever we feel like,
or set up a site for our new political party or ask everybody to join
you in protesting this or that or spread whatever juicy revelation about
whoever's running for office or post video of some slip up in front of an
open mic.

Be prepared to see a lot of stories about awful things that involve the
internet in the coming months, and step back and ask yourselves "why?"

It's the evil internet, guess i gotta give up the keyboard.





NEVER!!!!

Wouldn't it freak everybody out if one of his sex-predators shot Chris Hansen on TV? Wow. Guess that would put a damper on his fantastically successful series, right?

What are those guys actually charged with? He's had a few repeaters, right?

I think they get their face on TV, but legally they can't be charged with much,
because it's a form of entrapment.

I guess it's a deterrent, but most of those guys seem so stupid they don't
think about anything.

Plus, crudely, with the amount of women of age looking for sex, I'll never
understand who would want a young child... there's got to be some serious
ego deficiencies behind these guys.

Mark my words, over the next year or so there will be more and more stories about
all sorts of evil doing, and it will be done over the internet. Then a Senator
will introduce a bill regulating the internet, for the good of the children (who can
argue with that? "Senator, are you on the side of the child molesters, or the
children?).

Of course, most of the bill will concern corporations buying the right to have
bandwidth dedicated to their transactions and sites, and tons of new regulations
for start-up internet businesses, and full disclosure to the IRS, and permission
for the FBI and CIA to do what they've already been doing for years.

That's how it works. This is America, where the people ultimately have the
power, so you have to trick them with a phony cause.

Chris Hansen is a slime-merchant. He's profitting off the misery, sickness, and suffering of others. And, he and his entire staff are enjoying their slimey jobs way too much. He deserves a great big surprise of some sort, to snap him out of his ego-craze.I especially get a kick out that creepy, dykish chic who can interchangeably play male and female roles for entrapment purposes. I bet she has a rap-sheet about a mile long, herself.

I just wanted to add my two cents on this subject of Sex offenders.
There seems to be a trend in the psychology field to classify offenders of various natures that do not respond to traditional behavior modification as having a disease. This is wrong, a disease is something that has a biological trigger and can be cured with medication and treatment.
In the specific cases of Pedophiles and predators (one in the same), they do not have a disease. The only way to describe it would be to say they have a preference for their victims demographic. It's a preference in the same way that a heterosexual prefers the opposite sex,or a homosexual prefers the same sex. When I see a beautiful woman it catches my attention, and inspires a physical attraction, it's human nature. When a pedophile sees a child the same reaction occurs. Preferences cannot be cured in pedophiles any more then you or I can be cured of being attracted to women or whom ever you prefer. Even if I were castrated there would still be the psychological imprint in my brain that would lead to an attraction to women. The same occurs in pedophiles. You cannot cure a preference that has been ingrained.
That is why sex offenders have one of, if not the highest rate of recidivism.

You know, if we look back a few hundred years, a woman aged fifteen who didn't already have a kid was a slacker.

I agree, in Canada internet providers have agreed (without needing a warrent) to give the RCMP full access to internet users accounts. The decent into controlling our access to the net has begun. We lose and the government has placed another socialist net around our necks.

LOL Arterion, it's true thou.

Absolutely. So I don't see what the big fuss is all about nowadays. I mean, America grew (literally) on fifteen year old girls popping out babies.

One of the greatest civilizations of the ancient world, Greece, it was common for older men to be attracted to, and have sexual relations with adolescents. We still see it today, regardless of our laws. Even priests participate in it. The age of consent is not some magic number that makes it suddenly "ok" to be attracted to someone, or to have sex with someone.

My question is this: if this girl had committed a heinous crime, such as murder or robbery, would she be tried as an adult? If she has the capacity to hook up with men online, then surely she has the capacity to be tried as an adult. Isn't the purpose of Age of Consent laws to protect children from making bad decisions before the have the capacity to do so? But, what if we would, in another aspect of our legal system, consider them an adult? It seems very contradictory.

well, the life expectancy 100 years ago was around 30 - 35 a lot of places,
and those people looked 90... coal mining communities?

So, we've built a culture of rampant teen (even pre-teen) sexuality, especially
fashion and entertainment wise, made young girls look older and at the same time made women in their 20's and 30's aspire to look like anorexic teenagers...

I think the world's a little screwy

I think the "preference" thing is dead on.

What do they prefer, though? There's legal aged women who look younger
that they can pursue.

Nabokov hit it dead on in Lolita, the guys themselves are emotionally stuck
for some reason at whatever age they prefer in victims. Like any fetish, it's
a case of something psychological manifesting itself sexually. The guys in
those Dateline all seem like such weak little people, like kids almost.

One thing I remember from a psychologist buddy is that the difference between
offenders and "normal" people is that the offenders already feel guilty about
the thoughts or impulses before they do anything. Any normal guy can't help
but find the 15 year old Hillary Duff or Jessica Alba or Natalie Portman
or whoever attractive, they are... An offender feels shameful for it. When
they finally act on their urges they feel relieved, the way people do when
they're punished for something they haven't done and they just go ahead
and do it, anyway.

What you're missing here is that sexual morality is a living breathing entity with a life of it's own. What was forbidden only one generation ago is now fair game. The fact that in ancient Greece they diddled small boys has no relevance today.

No contradiction here. Trying a teen that shoots up a school has absolutely nothing with a young girl on the internet.
