So it's okay that he was going to meet a minor because it was a sting operation? Please explain that to me.

At this point, with the perp under watch, it is more a matter of

"There goes the neighborhood."

Glad I don't live next to that guy that shot into the neighbor lady's front door area 33 times.

Remember when Jerry Lee Lewis married a 13 year old ?

thats all well and good....for you.......


know someone who has been a victim? ..... then things maybe will look a little different to you..... history changes everything....

sodomy to a unwilling participant is illegal......its called rape.... and

Jerry Lee Lewis distroyed his career with that 13 year old marriage move....so that point is moot....

i am open minded, usually....but this topic changed my life....and many others....needless acts done by deviants

Took a look at the sexual deviants list on the computer......wow.....this information, I never knew.....how many and how close....

The Florida site from above was enlightening. In a three miles radius from my home, there are 16 registered sex offenders with permanent villages addresses. Ten of them are under 55. Another 3 are under 57. Not your average mix of villagers.

I suspect that many originally moved here because they were limited to abodes without children nearby, and this is where any relatives without children in their home or in their neighborhood lived. This may be the safest place to put folks that did their time but should not be regularly near children.

That said, the 5 younger offenders living off of Belvedere Blvd near the charter high school is worrisome.

I consider myself a forgiving Christian person. EXCEPT when it comes to my children, and grandchildren. In those cases going back to jail, would be the least of his concerns. I am not saying I am right, just being honest.

high school kids typically travel in groups or have boyfriends....support systems sometimes... cell phones...ect they may do stupid things but their more worldly...

its the GRAMMER and MIDDLE SCHOOL kids....I worry most about..... the ones that still have the "respect for adults".....

Whether it was a sting operation or not they still committed and were convicted of a crime. Yes, not everyone of the sexual offender registry is a pedophile, many are rapists. Having worked with sexual deviants for 35 years I can tell you that pedophiles are incurable.

myself, I never told at age 9 because it was my stepfather, we had money and a big home and other than this a good life and for some strange reason, thought I causes this and didn't want to mess this up for my mother. They divorced when I was 14. thankgod.....and he moved far away...

When I did finally tell at age 20 when he was attempting to take custody of my 9 year old stepsister, I told my mom, who didn't believe me till my grandmother told my mom that my stepdad had attempted to molest her.

Incest was not spoken of back in the 70's. My moms lawyers told his lawyers and he backed off my sisters custody battle but the Statue of limitations had lapsed so he got away with it... but he will rot in hell one day, I am sure of that...Hopefully die slowly and painfully

But surely you realize that pedophilia has many faces. We all think of the pedophile who molests very young children but some are more attracted to late teens. The US has very high age of consent laws compared to many countries. I have seen many convicted pedophiles on the web who simply were nailed because the young lady was just below the age of consent.

Reminds me of the time an employee of mine who was 22 and in the process of applying for the NYPD. He met a young lady and they were going to hook up, she appeared and told him she was 19. He was bright enough to ask her for proof of age.....she wasnt even 17. Had he gone ahead and hooked up with her he might now be a convicted pedophile.

Funny you should ask. My life was charted from infancy as a result of "deviant" sexual behavior. My grandfather, uncle's, mother, father all involved in one way or another with this type of behavior and resulting life changing events. It does not disgust or shock me in any way at all. Perhaps I'm desensitized to things like this but I realize that throughout human history and throughout the entire spectrum of human sexuality what was and is considered immoral in one society is normal and accepted in another. What is considered normal in one family may be considered not normal in another. We must all obey the law of the land and if disobeyed, pay the price and when the price is paid be left alone.

I worked juvenile sex crimes as a detective and as a detective sergeant. There is no cure just incarceration or death. Those that think a person has been tricked by authorities I consider part of the problem.

I too have been taught that a person's sexual preference for children cannot be changed. So even if arrested and jailed, they will still have a sexual preference for children. FOREVER. Even if they are shocked with electricity each time they feel the urge toward children, even if they are beaten and........carefully watched.


I think I don't understand what you are saying. I understand about the age of consent being a societal norm.....but the rest I don't understand. Children are little and adults are bigger and stronger and smarter. It isn't right to gratify someone's sexual desires with children. It isn't fair. It is wrong. I know this not because of laws, but I KNOW this because mothers protect instinctively.

I was not abused. My mother was by her father and siblings. My life was redirected as a result.
