In reply to Emily.

Respectfully disagree that sex crime law needs to be reformed. There’s absolutely no way to modify or amend them to make them “effective” regarding their supposed purpose. Any changes or amendments only make them worse for all – registrants and society as a whole.

The registry needs to be abolished. Period.

The current sex offender laws are in dire need of reform to address their fairness and effectiveness. It is deeply unfortunate that individuals who made a mistake in their past, continue to suffer lifelong consequences. The internet’s potential for causing harm is evident, and it is crucial to address the underlying issues and provide mental health treatment for sex offenders. Instead of subjecting them to lifelong labeling, a more compassionate approach would be to implement a tier system, as you suggested, which would differentiate between various levels of offenses and tailor punishments accordingly. It is important to recognize that the majority of individuals on the sex offender list are one-time offenders who are unlikely to reoffend. Moreover, the disparities in how the law is applied to individuals with wealth and influence highlight the urgent need for a more just and equitable system. The cases of Jeffrey Epstein and others serve as stark reminders of the flaws in our current laws. Jaden Kitna wouldve been on the registry had multiple photos and doesn’t not have to register due to having a good lawyer , money and famous father . It is imperative that we enact changes that promote fairness and protect the well-being of all individuals involved.
My husband was in the military 10 years ago was 20 had one photo and has to register for lifetime .
This laws need to be changed a tier system or mental health treatment would make a difference for individuals . Men are treated far worse than women. If you don’t have power money or being a politician you get away with so much crime .
Everyone on the registry is not the same . Everyone’s crime is different . It needs to be changed

I was arrested for Internet Solicitation of a minor in 2001. The judge waived all restrictions but 3 years probation. No Blood, No Monitor, Stayed in my home. Adjudication of Guilt withheld.

But the FL registration Law says because I lead no contest, I have to register, and this blows my mind, for Life.
I know live in Montana, and Because Florida requires registration, Montana does.

I could try to overthrow the Government and I wouldn’t be punished this bad.

In reply to Eugene V. Debs. Look, we all want to stamp out child rape, but this proposal will have unintended consequences. Important link from Eugene V Debs that also gives you a hint on DeSantis’ views on how lesser sex crimes should be treated. I won’t be surprised if the governor declares that the registry is good BECAUSE it’s punitive.

In reply to Be Aware.

“Well the dog you say. Your honor the dog did it.” He sniffed out my cell phone but their was no porn on it. Very interestting… So who is being realistic or optimistic in this porn game with a sex enticement via the internet. So should we all beware of these vain deceits or spoiled thru this philosophy. God is a God of judgement man uses compromise in many vain ways. Read Jer 22:3 and yes he Executes judgement and right judgement.

So many should get their butts up to Tallahassee and address this issue and every other state in America to rid a lot of this registry type abuse out. So is the sex offender still in bondage even after he’s paid his dues’ to society? If people don’t take Action than whats this card game all about a dog that can sniff out peanut brittle.

WoW Will Allen did I heard an AMEN from you. Sure change is needed plus Action and some better guidelines as well. Now don’t knock those religious people or those ones with some Christian background. Their are principles to everything in life.

Hey Government is in many ways digging their own grave. You have this compromise of a plea deal, you have this due process or the lack of due process and you have the trespassing against another. So whats more abusive than trespassing against others and to top it all off you have the shell or con game.

Protecting and serving does not mean setting up someone in these blind shell game via some internet ordeal. Authorities are guilty. Remember we wrestle not with flesh and blood.

In reply to Ben. Ben change is gonna come but its with actions of those involved and those not involved in this registry to see the punitive damage it can do. Sure many things can be speculation at best but patience is a virtue.
