I thought we all agreed on that.

Sexual misconduct, by contrast, is a civil matter.

If our movement defines sexual assault more narrowly than the criminal legal definition, then hoo boy are we going to have an even harder time garnering followers.

For the US Probation Ofc, having to return someone to prison requires a lot of paperwork and is often viewed as a sign of failure.

Vaguely-written conditions empower the PO to adjust their interpretation over time as you demonstrate reliability and trustworthiness (or lack thereof). Their interpretation is no mystery if you ask first, which is what Fed PO’s want you to do.

I don’t know whether Jason’s probation was Federal or state. I may have misread, but it doesn’t sound typical Federal.

Maestro, misconduct in Florida sex offender laws is usually covered by the lewd and lascivious behavior. This is for those instances when actual assault cannot be applied.

This guy Jason probably did too much advocacy, not realizing that he really isn’t a free citizen with rights. This, along with other tripwires he triggered, caused him over time to be a nuisance with his PO, so the officer decided to ship him off downstream to be a problem for someone else. Many PO’s don’t want to assist with our successful rehabilitation and reintegration – that is simply too much work – even though it is one of their primary missions. If only a parole or probation officer’s performance were judged by how many under their charge successfully complete their supervision instead of how many they were able to send back.

My favorite part of this on going lunacy is that “rape” and “violence” is always associated with “sex crime.” Not all crimes of a sexual nature are “rape” or “violence”. This man’s original charges had no rape or violence involved. Underage consenting teens are not “raped” and it’s not “violent”.
They get away with using these terms because they titled the laws “Sexual ASSAULT”. There is a huge difference between “assault” and “misconduct”. When is someone going to argue this and force the legislature to change the name of the statute? Probably never.
