The Sex Offender Registry Failed Them: Former Sex Offender Unit Deputy Convicted of Sex Offenses
What use is the Sex Offender Registry when it did absolutely nothing to prevent sex offending from taking place right under it’s nose? We’re talking about a former Cobb County (Georgia) Deputy Sheriff assigned to the agency’s Sex Offender Unit, that was sentenced to federal prison for distributing child pornography!
According to a press release from the U.S. Government, ” [he] had been employed by the Cobb County Sheriff’s office for approximately 17 years. During the time that he was distributing child pornography online he worked in the agency’s Sex Offender Unit where his job duties included maintaining, verifying, and updating the list of registered sex offenders residing in Cobb County.”
Talk about a completely and utterly useless tool! It’s like a fire destroying a firehouse!!! You literally can’t make this stuff up!
The people of Georgia should be demanding their legislators answer the question of how the registry could have failed in such an epic way? If the registry can’t even be useful in stopping sex offending in the sheriff’s offices own sex offender unit, why do we even have this thing?

It sounds as though the police department is advocating the use of same type of abuse that CYS takes children away from parents for doing…
Hey, some people have a job because of the registry. If they weren’t busy making some citizens miserable and unable to live a decent life, they would be on welfare. Where else can you earn a living by adding nothing positive to society?
I agree! Can we ever get the politicians to see this!!!!
Ummm Alan… methinks Politicians fall into that very same category.
Unbelievable!! 😳😲🙄
Once again, I believe that all accounts like this that include law enforcement, prosecutorial, and judicial caught in sex offenses should be sent to all the major news agencies so that they cannot be swept under the rug.
It is important that the public knows that the registry not only failed the children, but also the public that placed their trust in these individuals.
Just think! If there were no sex offender registry this person would not have had a job in the position he had. So then none of the crimes he committed would have happened. Conclusion of the matter the sex offender registry only causes more sex crimes to be committed. Absolutely counterproductive costing billions $. What genius started this garbage dump?
Yeah. So I guess the new law should be, all deputy sheriffs should be restricted to live at least 1,000 from the sex offender registry.
There has never been any evidence that the registry has saved a single child but we now have evidence that the registry is responsible for a crime against a child. Put that in your pipe and smoke it along with what ever else your high on ,is my reply to those pushing the registry.
