No, not Wacko Jacko. This guy! And the boy in question is my GF’s nephew.
At least the authorities have him on their roster, except they don’t have his current address. He’s now living over in the next county and is being protected by his mother. The family is from India and not only did they use his mental status to get him off but the lawyer (also from India, I’m told) used cultural differences as a defense as well.
This is some totally fucked up shit, I tells ya.
Holy crap! He lives in the next apartment complex over from where I used to live.
Everyone knows this guy except me!
“Taking indecent liberties with children?”
Are there “decent liberties with children”?
I just don’t see how legal system that judges someone incompetent to stand trial can also judge them ok to be on the street, especially a sex offender, especially a sex offender who preys on children, and especially for an offense that has such a high rate of recidivism. I live in Arlington, and I have children. If that happened to my kid, that fucker’s remains would have to be identified with dental records…
There are not enough :mad:'s to express my feelings on this.
Apparently a euphamism for having oral sex with a minor.
Neurotik, that’s his old address. I hear he’s living with his mother in Falls Church now.
My GF’s sentiments exactly. She’d love to hurt him and his mother for helping him stay out on the street.
I’m confused. He was convicted according to the record, so how did he (oh dear there’s just no good way to say this) get off?
Darned if I know, maybe they got him to confess. The laywer reportedly said something about him not knowing what he did was wrong, based on his mental state and being from India. Sounds like a load of manure to us.
The asshole smiling is like he’s saying, “Yeah, I did it and you can’t touch me with a ten foot dick!”
Excuse me if I’m being ignorant of Indian culture, but I would assume that molesting children is frowned upon there, too.
::checks news stories about burning baby girls, etc.::
nevermind
In the interest of eradicating ignorance again, care to support that statement? (hint, the data from the US DoJ doesn’t support it).
on the OP - I’m sorry for your g/f’s nephew.
Thanks, wring.
It happened about 3½ years ago; nephew and his father (GF’s half-brother) have since moved out of the area. You wouldn’t believe where he took the boy after finding out what this asshole did. Or maybe you would.
Neverland Ranch?
Heh.
No, he’s not that dumb.
You didn’t exactly support yours except for some cryptic allusion to the DOJ, so I’m not terribly impressed. If you’re gonna ask for backup, and you have backup, PUOSU. But that’s beside the point.
After a cursory Google search, the first hit was
this Canadian study (I see no reason to think the mindset of a Canadian child diddler is any different from one from the US).
Bolding mine.
I’m not sure if that guy is exactly the type that I’ve bolded, but :eek: !
And I do have to ask, what rate of recidivism for child molestation is acceptable for you?
Oops! I posted too soon. Anyway, the study I cited DOES suggest that the rate for sex offenders is actually lower than other crimes, but given the abhorrent nature of the crime, I think that comparative statistics aren’t really what’s at issue.
So where was it? I gots to know.
actually, it is relevant since you claimed that they were “high”. and it’s perfectly permissable for me to demand proof from you, since you made the original claim.
I tried to clue you in, but you failed to take it up. here’s the link to the United states Department of Justice data
some relevant quotes:
specifically those who commit offenses against children
3.3% is small percentage. I’ll grant that we’d like it to be zero, but again, claiming that it’s a ‘high’ percentage is not supported by this data (which tracked over 4000 child molesters, 9000 other sex offenders).
here’s the larger version
it studied two thirds of the sex offenders released in the United States. (I will also note that convicted sex offenders are more likely to commit new sexual offense than other offenders, however, you need to realize that even convicted sex offenders are unlikely to commit new sex offenses. (so the ‘more likely’ still equates to less than 6% likely)
(oops - the 4000 + child molesters are included in the 9000+ sex offenders. sorry)
