But the registry was supported to protect children https://news.siu.edu/2023/07/07623-SIU-researchers-team-advocates-for-new-assessment-treatment-approach-for-juvenile-sex-offenders.php
Hopefully these science based research approaches spread to the south.
Has anyone seen the Florida quarter back got arrested for 5 counts of possession of child porn and distribution of same ? He plead guilty to 2 charges of disorderly conduct and given probation and no registry !!! His lawyer said it was a fair deal. For who ? If it was any of us that would not happen we would be in prison and marked for life. It was on 12 news
Yeah, when this story first came out, I read that one of the photos depicted what was thought to be a girl under the age of 13 engaging in sexual activity with a grown man. I kind of expected this outcome, though. America loves its athletes!
Is it really in our best interest to want to drag this young man down into the Hell where we were cast? Would it not be much better to be happy for him. I say good for him.
Bobby , it’s not about bringing this young man down the problem is the hypocrisy of the situation we get 5 ,10,20 years in prison and put on the registry for life but because of who he is and who his family know he don’t get anything
Again I say good for him. Good for anyone that gets a sentence closer to what this stupid made up crime should require. If more people got similar sentences then people might just see this for what it is . More outrageous sentences like ours only strengthen the public opinion that this is such a terrible crime
Don’t worry Bobby…those with money and power have always been above the law, that is nothing new.
However, to be glad about the inequality applied to some over others is NOT something to be happy about. You simply support the status quo.

Wtf I lm on for life and he gets a slap on the rest
OMG! Has anyone contacted the local news stations or newspapers about the horrendous disparity with this case and what really happens?
i will bet you this family, friends, etc made hugh political donations to ronnie or else im sure ronnie would had removed this state attorney we should do 1000 person marc at this court house for our injustice!!! what fing bs crap!!!
wish i had knowledge i would search for donations from this family or any business to ronnie
The judge https://circuit8.org/courts-judges/judge-susan-miller-jones/
Is a Florida Gator law school graduate, he played for the Gators how is that not a conflict of interest.
It will be interesting to see if she faces the same kind of backlash that Judge from California got when the gave the Turner kid only 6 months for rape. Alachua County did an investigation and no one before avoided jail time.
Yea I’m happy that he’s not on the registry here but something is fishy about this.
Even the Assistant State Attorney Brooke King https://www.linkedin.com/in/brooke-king-141153b2
Went to UF law school who was prosecuting him
His lawyer went to Florida https://toklegal.com/ron-kozlowski-bio/
Also if you Google Lauren Book and her dear ole dad their social media is silent as could be shouldn’t they be up in arms over this? Again I think optics is the only thing those people care about.
I know Florida is the Best Law School but what are the odds:
He plays at Florida
He hires an attorney who went to Florida.
He is assigned an assistant state attorney who went to Florida.
He is assigned a Judge who went to Florida.
No one saw a problem with this. Apparently

Of course we had officers continuously yell “put your shirt on”. I guess if they were hot they wanted us to be miserable. Mandatory morning yard in 90 degree weather etc
So somehow we I believe got caught up into the LBGQT + s etc group anyway that is an issue for another time but this is what scares me https://newrepublic.com/post/174074/ron-desantis-just-posted-one-weirdest-vile-ads-political-history
I know, Twitter is a shit show right now but the video in the middle of the article will play. So we have in our state an active Governor who now openly brags about restricting rights to certain groups
(Btw site seems credible skews to the left tho on a trust factor)
So there is an Amber Alert https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2023/07/03/missing-12-year-old-girl-last-seen-on-southside-jso-says/
I can only hope it’s a Romeo and Juliet simulation. The fact they know his name but can’t find a picture of him makes me believe he is not on the registry. And if this is the case how did the registry protect this child.
Sounds like the girl wanted to run away from home and the guy she called talked her out of it and brought her back home. But being Jacksonville, good ol’ Sheriff Elmer Fudd’s guys will probably try to turn it into a sex trafficking case. They wouldn’t look very heroic otherwise.
I can’t help but wonder how many registrant doors were kicked in during the 2.5 hour Amber Alert. Hopefully none, as it would take a few hours to assemble and brief all available LE officers in response. And it would have been pointless, since (not surprisingly) no local registrant had anything to do with the girl’s disappearance (in fact, the girl herself was the cause). But a few likely would have been registry violated for being in possession of blue M&M’s on a Monday or some other inane “nonpunitive” obligation of restriction.
