As NPR’s John Burnett reported,

“The federal Office of Refugee Resettlement, which is in charge of caring for under-age immigrants, received more than 4,500 allegations of sexual abuse and sexual harassment between 2015 and 2018. The reporting begins under the Obama administration. Of those complaints, some 1,300 were serious enough to refer to the FBI, but an official says ‘the vast majority’ proved to be unfounded.

“Most of the assault allegations involved one minor abusing another. But 178 of the complaints were against staff at the shelters — in particular, youth-care workers who escort the children everywhere they go. The complaints range from inappropriate romantic relationships between children and adults, to touching genitals, to watching children shower.”

It seems that NONE of the people were registrants. Does that mean the registration is working because registrants aren’t committing new crimes?

Now if only we could get a ‘Minority Report’ type thing going, we’d have it all covered. Until then, I guess we’ll just continue to use Lauren Book’s cracked crystal ball. (I think she needs the broom to chauffeur her dad around for a bit)🤣🤣

They can go after you if you have 1 photo the reason 5 is a number your thinking of is because if you plea and only have 4 or less photo’s that may not be enough to place you on the RSO list. The Judge of course can still make the judgement to do it but on the scoring system they use the judge can use his/her judgement to put you on or keep you off if you have 4 or less photo’s

As more prominent members of society fall to the scythe of the War on Sex, maybe, just maybe, there will be a tidal shift. Robert Craft, owner of the Patriot football dynasty, arrested in a massage parlor sting. Where? In Floriduh, of course. Instead of protecting the public, Floriduh LEOs go after the public to create more “criminals” and “sex offenders” to keep the state coffers overflowing with cash, which they use to do more stings, ad nauseam. All prostitution is now sex trafficking. All Johns are now sex traffickers. Let’s see how a man who can hire the best lawyers and pay off judges gets out of this!

Jacob, I agree. Life feels like it’s coming to an end when faced with losing everything. A good Christian friend reached out to me in my darkest moments and offered me a new life in Christ, where one’s identity is not wrapped up in position or performance, but is hinged on our identity being in Christ (Gal 2:20). It was the most free I’ve ever felt in my life.

I still had to walk through the valley of prosecution, incarceration, and supervision, but since that day I gave control over my life to the Lord, I’ve never looked back. It breaks my heart to think of what people miss out on when they lose the battle with despair.

Society simply doesn’t understand the dynamics of sexual offenses and offenders. If they did, they would (if only out of concern for their own sons and daughters potential future behavior) move away from this caustic approach toward one of restorative justice that seeks to heal the injury of sexual offense rather than seek retribution for it.

I’ll have to look it up again, I was indicted for possession of 6 pictures of a known 15 year old female in “varying conditions of undress” in 2002 on a very old disk. The number 6 was important as my lawyer told me possession was 5 or more. I checked the statutes and he was correct. Facing 30 years I took a plea because I was technically breaking the law. Back in the Sheriff Nick Navaro (Broward) days I also found it to be true when he was getting warrants to search bookstores and record stores (see Two Live Crew). Unless it changed possession was 5 incidents or more.
1 or two counts should be incidental unless you were looking for it.
Trying to put this behind me, I’d have to go through the statutes again and see if it was changed.

Those of us that refused to comply with the expected result have to learn to live with the consequences and hope for changes in the future…
