Bahamas looking to establish a sex offender registry
The Bahamas, formerly one of the few countries close to the United States where persons required to register as sex offenders could still travel to, may soon become closed off as the country moves to create its own registry.
National Security Minister Marvin Dames told a reporter yesterday that “officials are also making progress toward the creation of a sexual offenders registry,”
What that means for Bahamians and those traveling to the island is still unclear, but the article indicates that the registry would be made public.
The same article stated that the minister called “BS” on a US State Department’s Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) report stated incidents involving US citizens in the Bahamas increased by 32 percent. In fact, he said, crime decreased.
In case anyone wants to write to the reporter to present an opposing point of view on registries: KHRISNA RUSSELL [email protected]

You have to tell a federal authority when you are traveling outside the United States.
What that authority or angel watch immediately does is contact the location your going to and “Suggests” that they ban you
so retroactive or not the odds of you being denied entry into the Bahama’s is pretty good
I had done multiple ports in Europe and a couple times was questioned before allowed to leave the ship by local police. In all situations they said you know we are only here because your government notified to check you out. Also that Europe doesnt even look at charges 7 and 10 years old!. Such a Hassle to be pulled to the side and everybody looking at you when the computer bongs when they swipe your card and wont let you leave the ship till Immigation officers come. Other people with me also detained and questioned. I found the agents to be very professional and feeling bad they even had to do it. In the end I was welcomed.
Best thing you could do is put them on a water proof tracker, that would allow you to know their location at all times. until they leave back to their country, I feel like people for get we are all human beings.
My issue is in Arizona. But my offense was in Texas 33 years ago. In Texas I was never ordered to register back when all this happened and by current regulations if I was registered I am no longer required too.
Now I live in Arizona. Because my case is simular to what I was charged for in texas, Arizona makes it mandatory that I register here basically for life. I have no tier rating and I’m not on the public view.
Where is the justice in this?
