Foul play suspected in death of missing sex offender

News About Florida Sexual Offender

Last week, Hernando County deputies put up an alert about a missing sex offender who they reported had cut off his ankle monitor and disappeared.

Yesterday, the man was found dead, with the Hernando Sheriff calling him the “victim of foul play”

We will continue to monitor this case to determine whether the registrant was the victim of a vigilante murder.

Registrants are reminded to always be vigilant and careful. Do not open the door to anyone you don’t know or are not expecting.

          His friends and loved ones should insist on an investigation. I monitor the news daily for an update and there’s nothing.

    As I read the post about the sex offender who may have been murdered because of his committing an unacceptable offense. I was reminded of a time when I was in Michigan prison of a man who did the Heimlich maneuver in the chow hall of a man who had committed an acceptable offense. As the staff watched this sex offender stood from his chair and gave the man the Heimlich maneuver removing the beef from his throat. It was pretty clear that this man may have died at that point. So the warden put an accommodation on his record in his file stating that he had saved the life of another inmate. It’s funny how people view sex offenders as the evil but, in this case it was the sex offender who saved the other offenders life. Any thoughts.

    Yet another example of the “non-punishment” sex offender laws putting people at risk of vigilante “justice.” I am apparently one of the lucky ones who has only had his house and car egged and his attempts to make a living torpedoed by card carrying members of the general public. I am a pre-2004 registrant, so I am not hassled so much by the police, etc. It is “The People” who have caused me the most difficulty over the past 10 years or so.

    As long as Marion County and the rest of Florida,continues this ” Witch Hunt” on sex offenders, nobody will be safe. If I didn’t already have a steady income,an approved place to live and supportive friends and family,I would probably be living on the street now. Law enforcement and our so called justice system, lies with impunity and dreams up charges to fit their own agenda. Actual “justice means nothing to LEOs or the court.To bad they and the media either won’t red this or if they do they won’t admit to their roll in this “Witch Hunt”
