Sex Offenders Shunted Into Small Republican Rural Towns – By Republican Lawmakers?

Given the recent string of sexual transgressions by Republican members of Congress, it does seem somewhat fitting that these miscreants be housed in heavily Republican areas. Joking aside, it would be nice to find ways to identify and neutralize these guys (and they are primarily male) before they commit sexual assults. It would be better for everyone, including them (I'm assuming neutralize is not physical extermination here). If we had a functioning mental health system, maybe treatment could be instigated before they give in to their urges. Guess that wish makes me a liberal, eh? Better to put them in Republican areas.

Will these rules also apply to Bill Lockyer's former bodyguard-and-running-buddy Myron Richardson (working as DOJ protective service agent) that was arrested/convicted for statutory rape?

Seems he got very very favored treatment. Ask at DOJ and they all clam up.

I hope Lancaster is filled to the brim with sex offenders since the authors, Sharon and George Runner, live and represent the area. They can explain to their constituents how wonderful this ineffective and unconstitutional law really is. By the way, does any one know how this law can apply to parolees who were released after its passage since they had already been sentenced? Doesn't that violate ex post facto law?

Jessica's Law was poorly thought out when it came to the living restrictions. Similar laws in Iowa have failed. It appears that it is starting to fail here because recent parolees are having trouble finding housing in their counties.

Democrats should leave the other 90,000 or so sex offenders alone. They are already living under the toughest laws in the nation. Living restrictions do nothing to prevent new crimes from occurring and forcing those that have already served their time to move will only add to the problems we are just beginning to have.

To all our Democratic representatives heed my advise. Don't do what your Republican counterparts did...they shot themselves in the foot with Jessica's Law, don't do it to yourself by trying to be tough on crime by coming up with laws that will affect those that have already served their time.

It's really disturbing to read that the Democrats are preparing bills aimed at those offenders that have already served their time and are not on parole of probation.

Many courts across the U.S. are finding these living restrictions unconstitutional when applied retro-actively. These restrictions do nothing to protect our children. It has already been proven that these feel good laws do more harm than good. These laws are being written and passed based on emotion and not facts.

The State of California pays taxes so that sex offenders in question be evaluated by two DMH State psychologist six month prior to being released. So why is it that they are out in society after it was determined by the psychologists that there was'nt a likelihood that he/she would re offend and are still being punished by having to ware a GPS monitor, residency, restrictions, etc.,and was never convicted for child molestation, and the sex offence was committed decades ago. Sounds like vigilanty laws to me and another way to keep big time bucks coming into the pockets of those law and order guys. But justice will prevail! You tried to sneak those unjust laws under Jessica's Law hoping that no one would challenge it, but it backfired on you just like the 'THREE STRIKE LAW' did! What you need to do is make your wrongs RIGHT! And apply your laws the way they should be applied and to those they should be applied without first respecting the DUE PROCESS RIGHTS OF THOSE WHOM YOU LABEL AS A 'SEX OFFENDER'.
