Sorry HomeGuru, I do not know the exact thing the offender did and in no way is it me.

Thank you BelizeBreeze for the explanation.

There was a rumor going around town about a man that works at a local gas station. Well, I looked it up and sure enough he was convicted of lewd molestation. There are not any specifics as to what happened listed and he is quite mum on the subject (I don't blame him in the least for wanting to be quiet about it either, he's only trying to start his life back up).

The police department wants to get him rearrested on the grounds that he's not registered as a sex offender. Well, since there was no mention about it on odcr, then does that mean he doesn't have to?

I am in no way trying to help the police here. If he should be registered, I will let him know that he needs to get it done ASAP. In no way are his convictions justifiable, but I am sick of people in this town bringing up ones past just to hurt them. I'm sick of them not allowing some to go on with their lives just because they've made mistakes in their past.

Call me what you want, I just don't see where a persons past should reflect what they will do in the future.

Thanks

If the offense occurred before registration was required then no, he does not have to register. If it occurred after, then it's up to the statute.

So, how often does he babysit your kids?

StephenK, just because someone was convicted of doing something wrong doesn't mean that they did it. There have been many a case where the accused was innocent of the crime they were being charged with.
In one case, the 'victim' admitted on the stand that she fabricated the whole story. There was no evidence to prove that the accused did the crime. The SANE nurse who did the exam even stated that there were no findings of any type of abuse. Even the CASA worker stated that the girl admitted that she made it all up.

Then, on the flip side, you have the people who were victims and had evidence of rape and abuse but the DA refused to prosecute. A woman was raped by a county worker. She made a report and place a protective order against him. The protective order was removed because the judge told her it was her fault, she deserved it because she let him into her home.

Our county likes to prosecute the rich and protect their own regardless as to who is guilty or not.

As for the man in question on this post, I would let him watch my children. I still don't believe that a person's past reflects what their actions will be in the future.

So you know for a fact, without any doubt, that your friend did not perform the lewd acts on another person that resulted in his conviction?
