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.
