Sex offender gets jail for not reporting social media password

A Level 1 sex offender from the Tuscarora Indian Reservation was sentenced Thursday to a year in the Niagara County Jail for not telling authorities one of his social media passwords.

______________, 48, of Susie’s Lane, must register because of a misdemeanor sex conviction in 2004, defense attorney David J. Mansour said.

In April, _________ pleaded guilty to a felony count of failure to register. He reported two social media accounts last year, but only one password. Mansour said _________thought the accounts were linked.

County Judge Sara Sheldon could have sent ________to state prison for up to four years, which the prosecution recommended. Mansour argued that would be unjust, because _________’s original offense was a misdemeanor and he has not committed further sex crimes.

    I believe that every registered person in the US should take the time to memorize the following, and write it neatly on the SO registration form every time they register:

    “By compelling me to provide my personal information to you, under threat of criminal prosecution, with no choice to opt out and remain silent, you are violating my rights under the US constitution and international law. I am signing this document under duress.”

      Won’t work in Michigan. They have you sign with an electronic signature device, like in a store, and then your form gets printed out. Besides, they don’t care about our duress. It will just give law enforcement more stuff to laugh at behind closed doors. Better to spend our time contacting legislators with our concerns and observations.

    And this little incident will cause the number of ” repeat sex offenders” to go up and the lawmakers will point to it and say, “See, I told you this would happen.”D

    Total bullshit. Passwords are in place for a reason: security.

    What’s next they want bank passwords?

    Shit’s gotta stop. Whole registry needs to go!
