The Registry Failed Them: Logan County Assistant DA Arrested for Child Porn
The Logan County, Oklahoma District Attorney’s Office should be a safe place. According to the state, “the mission of Oklahoma District Attorneys and their offices is to protect the public through proactively advocating as ministers of justice for public safety and welfare.” Among the tools Oklahomans use to prevent sexual crimes is the sex offender registry. The Logan County Sheriff’s Office doesn’t only rely on the State’s registry to promote it’s sexual offenders. It has it’s own website on which it lists them https://logancountyso.org/sex-offenders.php
All this begs the question, how could a First Assistant District Attorney have committed a child pornography offense with this useful tool at the District Attorney’s disposal? Isn’t the DA’s office supposed to prosecute these offenses, not commit them? And who is responsible for the hiring practices at the DA’s office? Why didn’t they check the registry before hiring this guy? Also, doesn’t Oklahoma brand the driver’s licenses of those on the registry? Couldn’t they have just asked to see his driver’s license?
Clearly the District Attorneys failed to use the registry to prevent this crime, or the registry was completely ineffective. Since the District Attorney’s office has access to sex crime information, the Florida Action Committee calls on the DA to report the number of new sex offenses (not registration violations, but actual sexual crimes) committed during 2021 and 2022 and explain, for each one, how the registry could have failed to prevent them.

Yes. It appears that if they really want to make a realistic list of all possible sex offenders than they must put everyone on the list. At birth when a birth certificate is made out make out a a certificate of sex offender registry enrollment. That list would accomplish more than the list they have now.
That’s what I’ve been saying. The registry is supposed to prevent sex crimes, right? So list everyone in the world on the registry and there will never be any more sex crimes ever, right? Take it a step further and make it a “World Crime Registry”, list everyone in the world on it, and we’ll have world peace. No more crimes, no more wars, right?
People who support registries believe it prevents sex crimes and protects the public, so why not?
Sounds stupid? So does the concept of registries keeping the public safe.
The Sex Offender Registry Failed Them: Cheerleading abuse accusations increase to 20
‘The lawsuits paint a sordid picture of a sporting scene in which coaches use their power to share drugs and initiate sex with underage athletes while a network of institutions provides weak or nonexistent oversight.
Again, WHY DIDN’T THE REGISTRY PROTECT THEM?

The problem of sexual offending in any manner is so widespread and common to people of every race, class, and social status. When will society just accept that ANYONE can be guilty of these offenses? Do we truly want to maintain a scorched earth approach to dealing with these offenders? How many more millions of wasted lives must we endure before we realize we’ve utterly failed to understand the issue?
I guarantee that, before long, we will see prosecutions come after those in the ICAC office itself, if they are not already actively squashing such investigations because they are the gatekeeper of information on cyber crimes. Personally, every person who works there, as a condition of employment, should be subject to random house searches and screenings of all of their personal devices, much like companies have random drug tests. I’m willing to bet that, if they did, they would find out the fox has been guarding the hen house.
