I doubt if these are teens caught sexting on their I-phones, but sleezy old guys........and maybe some middle aged guys as well, if my memory holds.

The website not only describes the offense, it shows a picture. I looked because I prefer to see the facts in black and white than generalize and make assumptions. And you're absolutely right. Many are geriatric perverts.

I believe that you have to register as a sex offender if you have been convicted of domestic violence. This is an abuse of the system IMO and dilutes the effect of the overall program. Generally, a person involved in spousal abuse is not a threat to the general public.

This is from the DOJ:
Among felony assault defendants
charged with family violence in State
courts, 84% had at least one prior arrest
for either a felony or a misdemeanor
(not necessarily for family violence),
and 73% had been previously convicted
of some type of felony or misdemeanor
(not necessarily family violence).

Domestic violence offenders react with violence, whether it's a family member or someone who cut in front of them. It's not about a guy hating his wife, it's about anger management and control.

But nice try.

And your point is?
Also, what is the population of YOUR zip code and if your zip is not TV, why so you care how many are here? Just curious

72 in a community of 100,000 sounds pretty good. I'd like to see the rates in other cities of that size.

I started to receive this list about 3 years ago and I followed through on one address because it was near my girlfriend. What really concerns me is that she knew the people who lived in that particular house and there wasn't a person of that name living there. So what are they doing??? Giving the authorities wrong addresses and its accepted without checking???

Also, the system is too broken to get all exited about this. I was on a jury in Bushnell and the case was statutory rape. The defendant changed his plea about 3/4 into the case with the agreement that he would not be put on a Sex Offender's list if he pled guilty....but he was no longer allowed to be a coach for girls softball teams... BIG DEAL!!!!

My point is that I was answering someone's question about where I live. Which, by the way, has nothing to do with sex offenders in TV.
I realize that some are having trouble following the point of this post. There really shouldn't have to be a point, since most people should care how many sex offenders live on their street. Especially given the frenzied panic that some seem to go into every time a crime happens.
There is a certain group of posters here who seem to want to blame every bad thing that happens on somebody's grandkids or kids (while their own kids and grandkids are angels, of course). The point is, there are OLD PEOPLE who commit crimes, too. Many from the "ethical generation".
While many want to think I am bashing TV, and therefore respond with questions about my hometown (how clever!), that is not the case at all. As a matter of fact, there is one offender on that list who does some contract work for me!
Why do I care? I own a home there and spend a lot of time there. Is that ok?

And to those who have sent PM's and emails, thanks for your kind words!

I have wondered this so I will ask. What exactly is an "old people"? There are a lot seniors here in TV and some of them are very ethical and others not so much. A good many are old as dirt.

There are people that will absolutely lie to your face about their grandchildren. I had one woman tell me that her grandchildren were the most beautiful and the smartest in the whole world. This was just yesterday she said this. I didn't say anything to this poor misled soul.

Mine are.

Patty55 08-02-2013 09:08 AM

Again, if you look at the actual addresses not many of them live in TV, but why confuse a strong opinion by interjecting the facts.

You know, it's always something. If it's not poodles piddling on the crabgrass lawn it's people saving chairs or an indulging in an overload of exclamation points!!!

A very astute person often reminds you all that it's sometimes not easy to adapt to life here. We're all on small lots, it's not always easy to respect the privacy of others.

Oh, the drama.

Good seeing people doing research about sexual offenders.
 
Found this in a search. Florida

I have wondered just how up-to-date this registry really is. http://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/who...a-sex-r-76748/

I always try to help those poor misguided souls from the Village of Denial who tell me they're too young to live here by telling them "Realllly, you sure LOOK old enough."

We all have to do our part y'know.

Gracie, everyone's grandchildren are the smartest and most beautiful. I know mine are. I bet yours are too.
