Nebraska sex offenders testify for change in registry law

Twenty-eight people who were registered sex offenders, or the wife, mother, father, brother or counselor of sex offenders, lined up to give testimony to the Legislature’s Judiciary Committee on Friday, asking for changes to the Nebraska registry law.

The Judiciary Committee embarked on a study of the sex offender registry law over the interim to determine if changes are needed and, if so, what they should be.

The registered offenders told the committee about how the registry created life-altering situations in which they couldn’t get jobs, or only the lowest-paying jobs, or were denied housing. Spouses and children were punished along with them, and in some cases their inclusion on the registry led to divorce because of the limitations it placed on their lives.

    Flo-ri-duhh’s politician blows as the wind blows or should I say voters. So therefore education to the masses is the key Everything from what constitutes a sex crime because most believe all registrants are child rapist to how sex crimes are prosecuted from the acceptance of false statements with no factual proof to entrapment and extortion. The public needs to know their tax dollars are being wasted then the politicians will think about change to keep their jobs as professional BS artist
