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.
Might it be that the assailant cut off the monitor in order to conceal his actions and not the ‘victim’. Why does it always seem to charged that the SO is the one who destroys the bracelet?
A few years ago Maine has a couple of people killed by a person stalking sex offenders from the registry.
There will come a day that some sort of redemption for us will occur
One of us may hit the lottery and have money to hire a good attorney or several
I posted this on Rep. Chris Latvala’s wall. Wonder if he’ll respond.
It’s disgusting to read some of the comments on the Hernando County Sheriff’s Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/HernandoSheriff/).
People are applauding the murder of this man.
And the good folks at the sherriff’s office seem to be ok with that….no response from Hernando County and 165 comments at the moment, many of them asking for the shrriff’s office not to investigate.
I think two or three of them acknowledged that the victim was actually a human being.
I know how we are viewed by society, but man, that comment section really hammers it home. I actually feel badly for those people.
this why I live in fear. not only is my personal information being listed, put out for all to see, i have teenage children that drive , plus my wife, every time they leave, i worry about some vigilante thinking it is me and harming them, running them off the road, being harassed for being on/near a park or school. When was the last time having a tag # protected anyone or stopped anyone from being hurt?
If this list isnt punative then why is is part of a sentencing? Why is it mandatory at conviction? As a matter of fact if the conviction itself is sealed why is it still a requirement? Why does one need to petition the COURTS to get relief? If we somehow violate or not keep up with the restrictions and rules we are subject to instant felony prosecution??? Non punative? Hoping the courts are seeing that this is a violation of what few rights we all have left these days.
