Sexual Predators
 

With the Dru Sjodin case still unsolved, the subject of changing laws concerning sexual predators came up. What should be done, if anything at all?

Release them in France because over there it's ok to hide if you're a sexual predator.

But they won't do anything in France because the women have lots of body hair, and don't use deoderant.

It's tough to say..

The laws are already pretty tough on sexual predators and vary from state to state. The definitions could also use some fixing.

Some statutory rape cases come to mind in which sex was totally consentual between for example, an 18-year-old and a 16 year old or something.. That 18 year old runs the risk of being dubbed a sex criminal for life..

On the other hand, there are plenty of laws on the books. Maybe they could try enforcing the ones they have instead of making new ones?

What a wonderful idea... too bad the politicians would never go for that.

Rape, kidnapping, murder, assault are all on the statutes.

As I said in another forum.........sex offenders especially those that touch children should fry.........I'm sorry, but releasing them often times causes more victims, more tax payer money not just for court costs, but feeding these bastards in prison. FRY THEM.

What a revolutionary idea.

mary, you go girl!
 

i agree with you. and frankly, i am sick and tired of trying to be politically correct all the time, and saying"if the person actually committed the crime." whether that man really did kidnap dru or not, he should not be out roaming the streets. a level 3 sexual predator should not be released from prison. it is time that the general publics rights and safety be considered. and as i said in another thread, when the authorities guilty of letting these animals out of prison are held accountable for the crimes committed by the ex-con after he/she is released, maybe we will all be safer. political correctness be damned!

I am sick of hearing about women being raped or a child being molested by a repeat offender. Someone who is convicted of rape or molestation should get a life time in prison. These people do not change. Their problems usually stem from severe childhood abuse and it's so hard to reverse the damage from those incidents. I doubt many of these sexual predators get any psychological counseling while in prison. They're probably thrown in a cell for about 10 years in hopes that prison itself will change them. The first thing they do when they get out is the same thing that got them into prison in the first place. A few years ago in SoFl, there was a man who was recently released from prison after being convicted of raping a young boy. One day after being released, he committed the same act except this time he killed his victim.
I truly believe that anyone who commits these acts should be fried.

As I've said in another post, the ideal solution is not to fry them, but to go straight to the core of the problem - those pesky overactive genitals. I think that a convicted sexual predator should be sent to prison, where said genitals will be removed, ground up into chopmeat, and fed to the inmates. Then the criminal can still serve a life sentence, and recieve psychological treatment - plus you save money on food!

Now I know what you're thinking, "but that's cruel and unusual punishment!" But it's ok, the inmate can recieve anesthesia during the procedure. Problem solved!

No, I'm not serious...I don't think.

LOL!

Castration - physical or chemical - won't work, because sexual predators will resort to violence. To my understanding, avoidance therapy doesn't have a high enough cure rate to be effective.

In many ways, sexual crimes are worse than murder. Most predators were victimized themselves, and when they then rape a child, they are creating a new generation of sexual predators. At some point, the cycle must stop!

I agree totally. In my opinion, no sexual predator should get the opportunity to become a repeat offender. Lock them up and throw away the key!

Personally, I think releasing a sexual offender from prison is opening the door to the possibility of even more violent crimes. By the time they are parolled, those who did not commit murder the first time around have learned that leaving witnesses alive to testify against them isn't smart. Many of them solve that problem by killing their victims the next time they have a chance to attack. I'm praying that this is not the case with the man in custody for the kidnapping of Dru Sjodin.

That's not the core of the problem. Most sexual predators were themselves sexually assaulted when they were young. The only solution, in my opinion, is to go to state legislatures and toughen the laws, preferably to life sentences.
