MISLEADING TITLE: Nearly 100 Hudson Valley Sex Offenders Removed From New York Streets
The Westchester County District Attorney’s Office reports more than 80 registered and non-registered sex offenders on probation in Westchester County are required to attend the educational program at the Westchester County Courthouse on Monday, October 31 from 5:30 to 10 p.m.
During the educational program, sex offenders will listen to what’s described as compelling stories of devastation committed on both children and adult victims, and gain insight into how those acts could continue to impact a victim throughout their life.

If we had a NY activist, and ACTUAL one not a placeholder, then that person would go to the meeting to be the voice of reason.
Out of all the issues with this report, it is the choice of pictures in the article that were the worst. A man getting arrested, an ankle monitor, and a menacing-looking guy in a ski mask, and probably worse of all, a kid in a prison costume with a (fake) bloody lip?
The pics alone make this Shiitake-worthy.
Derek Logue – We do have activists in NY. Restorative Action Alliance is a grassroots ALL volunteer organization. We are the taking actions that we are able to take with the resources and people we have and making sure that people who are advocating are NOT in danger of being harmed. Do you live or work in New York? Are you aware of what’s happening here on the ground outside of what you see on the news? New York is a LARGE state. Tearing other advocates down calling them “placeholders” when they don’t operate in the manner that you do is a counterproductive practice that needs to stop if you want to chat give me a call.
There are A LOT OF very fine advocates in NY. I can name a few who do more fore the registrant community than entire state affiliates combined, and some are not even registrants or related to any!
That is VERY TRUE – Many people advocate against the registry in NY. Thank you for acknowledging that.
So hold up, they’re forcing people on the registry and probation to go, but wth would someone not on the registry, but on probation to have to go? Wth would someone who committed a burglary have to go to a convention centered around sexual victims? Notice that this is only mandatory for those on probation, because those who aren’t, would tell them to go F themselves.
You misread the report.
