Could you explain please? Homosexual men are attracted to other men. The Catholic Church seems to be just a pot shot here.

What consenting adults do is their own business. I don't like to have pedophiles around us, because they are not capable of change. There are heterosexual and homosexual pedophiles I am sure. The Catholic Church probably has a lot of priests who are gay. I suppose there are a lot of Baptists and Lutherans that are gay too. They are born with that sexual orientation. I was born attracted to males, which is the predominant sexual inclination.

Next lesson will be on Menstruation. Good grief, don't mix biology and morals if people's behavior is not harming anyone.

Multiple armed robberies of gas stations and a Radio Shack.

His arrests go back at least to 2000.

I know that having a predator in the neighborhood is scary. But I am also aware that prosecutors frequently unfairly prosecute cases overzealously. I know of a case when a 20 year old male was jailed for two years for having sex with a 17 year old girl. He spent 18 months in jail. Afterwards he married the girl and they have three kids 10 years later. He is still labeled a sexual predator.

Don't know anything about this individual. But labels can be misleading.

REDWITCH, your comment would only be true if it isn't your daughter, granddaughter or wife that he has raped or even has communicated with. Then maybe where he's at isn't good enough! I'm just saying you my be having family visit if you lived next door to him.

Sometime I find the talk on this site disgusting.

As I see it the only thing we have control over is allowing our grandkids near them. They can live where ever they want.

Sexual deviants/sociopath behavior generally commit crimes by 'the perfect opportunity' presenting itself. Just because a person was arrested for trying to hook up with a minor, doesn't mean he would stalk only minors... Always be aware of your surroundings, lock your doors 24/7, regularly check the offender list for your neighborhood.

Which argument do you object to? The ones saying they are upset he lives here, or the ones saying he needs our understanding and another chance?

We don't have enough facts to call it a rape. They could have been dating and the parent pressed charges. If it was statutory rape and the girl was almost 16 rather than barely 12, I'm inclined to Not call him a sex offender or a predator and he definitely does not qualify as a predator. As I said, I'm much more concerned with the armed robberies.

As I said, I hope he has come here to turn his life around. If he hasn't, I'm sure he will break parole quickly and be right back behind bars. We can hope.

Adult communities are where sex offender can live because children do not live here. I have one that lives 5 houses from me. We have many that live here. The rec paper reminds grandparents to do a search in your area and be aware so you can set boundaries for your grandchildren.

Not to mention the multitudes of those who have committed date rape (because they don't really believe 'NO MEANS NO,' regardless of when it's said )...but their victims chose not to report it to the authorities.

THOSE are the ones who don't make the list...and that we will never know about.
