Someone please tell me why we let sex offenders out of prison?

I live in the neighborhood, very close to this sick individual and it always amazed me how parents let their daughters spent the night there. It very well known in the neighborhood that he is a sex offender. What is even sadder is that there is a day care right across the street from him. What is wrong with THAT picture!!!!

Sex crimes,esp pedophilia, has the highest rate of repeat offenses (recidicism[sp?]). Perhaps hormones would erradicate any urges and I can't think of any better class of person to experiment on with chemicals. Why harm an innocent animal. Castration doesn't work, the evil is in the mind, not the crotch. BTW, how could anyone stand by, knowing he had sleepovers with youngsters and not do everything in your power to stop it?? Lidija, I'd be ashamed to admit witnessing these suspicious acts. You had others "in your neighborhood" who knew. Ever hear of power in numbers? At worst, you are almost an accessory to his crimes. Shame on you and your neighborhood. It does take a village to raise a child. Get involved,people!

I guess his wife is probably having kind of a bad day...

who cares about the wife? partially her fault!

you're right Lidija Schneider......

it's sicker the wife or gf was supportive of this. cuz really she shouldn't been with him nor allowed other little girls at the house.

His wife should be locked up too. Those apt are not that big. I don't get how she didn't know this was going on. Like I said, I know these people and I wouldn't be surprised if she did kinda know something was going on. My question is, how does a mother marry and have a child with a man who is a sexual predator?

I was wondering the same thing. I was shocked when I read this article, but now that I've had some time to reflect on it I am going to be cautious before passing judgement on anyone since the guy is denying the charges and groups of girls that age have made false accusations against people before.

Actually it wasn't that long ago that women were being tied to a stake and burned alive because a group of girls this age claimed to have seen them practicing witchcraft; and witches aren't even real. There were also more than a few blacks who were lynched without trials based on false rape accusations. Kids have lied for attention before, they've altered memories based on suggestion, and they've had dreams that they later thought were real. There are many possibilities here most of which will not come out until the trial and anyone appearing on the sex offender registry is extremely unpopular and makes an easy target to say the least. Everyone knew about this guys past conviction from word of mouth and from the offender database, so it would be pitifully easy to get someone like this charged based on very little (if any) evidence.

I don't really know if he's guilty or not so I'm going to watch and see what happens. He denies the charges and there appears to be no physical evidence... But many of the comments here sure seem to prove that the lynch-mob mentality still exists today.

The man is a registered sex offender who shouldn't been around kids! Child sex predators shouldn't ever be given benefit of the doubt! They are HABITUAL, SICK, LIARS!.....who cares that he said he didn't do it? And no physical evidence, only means it will take longer to process/prove. Doesn't mean he is innocent. Sex offenders don't stop at one or two, they keep going until caught. And those crimes from 1991 - only means two acts got caught. They just don't start out of the blue one day nor do they just all of a sudden stop! But I said my peace. The wife and man are sickos......and the only way the woman wouldn't know is if she worked 3rd shift.......

Well, as I told you. I know him and his children personally one of the daughters spent many nights at my house to get away from him. I also had plenty of talks with her, just because I had a creepy feeling.
I am not sure what you are talking about, but let me tell you. I bet I know most of the girls who spent the night there, and none of them would make up stories like that. I am sad that their parents didn't pay more attention to what I was telling them and the kids, and I surely hope I am wrong about who the victims are. But let me tell you. To say the girls might be lying is just crazy. And talk like that makes victims not come forward. We shouldn't be questioning the girls, we should be questioning every step a sex offender makes. He was a maintenance man in a whole complex, who knows how many more there are who just never spoke up. So you can be careful, of course the man wouldn't say he did it. When I confronted him about his past he gave us a story that it was a 14 year old girl who came on to him and it was a mistake. So obviously he is just a plain old perverted lie. I am so mad right now because I know the girls.

It really is sad to live in a community surrounded by such barbarians. The posts here are quite typical of the US population in general. If you ever want to see an example of how a civilized society deals with it's problems look at the trial in Norway of the mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik.

He killed all kinds of children, and yet the people there (while hurt and emotionally devasted) have maintained their civility throughout the entire process. THAT is the mark of a truly civilized society that refuses to let itself be consumed by hatred.

The guy has been merely accused and most here want to rush him to the gallows without trial, imprison others for life on a first offense, or some like pennyluhu want to tattoo a number on his arm and use him as the subject of nazi reminiscent human medical experimentation. Those kind of responses from self proclaimed law abiding citizens do little more than blur the line between what's good and evil.

Most people here it seems, lack the ability to do any type of critical thinking. Every society values something different-- In Iran, where homosexuality is viewed as the greatest of crimes this would probably be no big deal, and most of you are really no different than the crowds that showed up to cheer while two 15 year old boys were hanged from a crane for sodomy. A society isn't judged by how it treats it's most valued citizens, it's judged by how it treats it's worst.

Ok Johnny - I'm going to say this and to end my responses to you - the man Is Registered SEX OFFENDER who SHOULD NEVER have been AROUND CHILDREN to begin with after his first offenses. For you to defend this man, tells me you are acknowledged about sex offenders and you obviously didn't read the article. The man got reported in March and recently we was put in jail. That says that they already looked into the case and found allegations to be substantial. Or he wouldn't be in jail. Not to mention there are details we don't know. The man isn't innocent. Sex offenders are HABITUAL. It doesn't matter whether he is a us citizen. That is irrelevant to this case.

And PENNILU..... Lidija didn't say she literally witnessed the Sex Offender conducting lewd at with children. She said she was aware of him being a SO and witnessing CHILDREN at the house. Legally she can't do anything.....unless she witnessed him doing anything.

The law needs to be re-written, because people don't have the values they had back in the day.

I guess I missed mention of wife or girlfriend in picture. I am glad to see people get revved up about these issues but in this era of anonymous social media, are we out there DOING some thing about the wrongs in our community? No, Johnny, I don't mean vigilantism (too many trigger-happy idiots like George Zimmerman and his supporters for that to help) and as for constitutional rights, we have gone way overboard in protecting the rights of the accused while the victims are often repeatedly abused by our judicial system.It is in God's word that we "gently" correct our brethren but we need to remember also the commandments and keep God in our judicial system. Pardon my ranting, it's late, I'm tired. So true, Lidija, our values have been jeopardized. I meant no disrespect to you in my earlier post. Any abuse of a child is an emotional topic to me.

I had a neighbor in Hartland, who i had know for almost 7 years, that was recently charged with two Felony B counts of repeated sexual assault of a child under the age of 13. Each count carried a maximum sentence of 60 years in prison. Do the math. He plead down to one Felony C, and the other charge was dropped. Sentence?? 10 years, with 5 years supervision after that. They had DNA, written confession, video confession, etc... Tell me how this works, please?? And to top it off, He'll be segregated while in prison, so he gets to live. Our judicial system is so screwed up, it's pittiful how sexual predators have more rights than victims. This guy will probably live to get out another day... Just plain sad....

Johnny - I'm not the one that is ignorant here. You know know nothing of sex offenders and their behavior to stand up for this man, and you keep mentioning things that have nothing to do with incident or sex offenders. the man was not being monitored anymore he was only on the registry list that is all. also is explain to you already he was recently put in jail for these incidents, were reported in march. you keep talking about things that have nothing to do with this case and are talking about stuff that has nothing to do with sex offenders. as I told you before sex offenders do not all of a sudden one day start doing these things and then get caught and/or stop just because they got caught. and those prior cases that took place just because there was only 2 incidences recorded does not necessarily mean that he never did it before we don't know them and history but that's really odd a sex offender where have all the kids and then give them a sleeping aid and all that sleep aid does is put them to sleep easy it does not black anything out its not a real drug which why they woke up from and have not physical evidence. If YOU WANT TO SAY I'M IGNORANT THAT'S FINE - BUT NEVER DO I GIVE CHILD SEX OFFENDERS BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. SEX OFFENDERS DON'T BELONG NEAR CHILDREN AND ARE HABITUAL.

Maybe you should stick to topic rather than going about other subjects that aren't about sex offenders or this case.

There are a lot of valid points on both sides of this discussion.

Personally....I think there is a lot of negligence on the part of the parents in this case. Why were these girls allowed to spend the night in the home of a registered sex offender? I certainly wouldn't allow MY daughter to do so.

IF the individual is indeed guilty of these crimes (and as Johnny said, he has merely been accused, he has not been convicted yet on THIS crime), if I were the parents of these girls, I would take a long, hard look at what I could have done to prevent this from happening....like knowing what danger I was allowing my daughter to walk into.

We cannot expect the law or the government to protect us or our children. The information is out there, and it is up to us as parents to protect our children. If we, as parents, don't check into the safety of an environment that we are allowing our children to walk into, we are more guilty than the "system" that "allows this man to live freely".

The law can tell him "thou shalt not be among children"...but that doesn't make it so. (The law also says thou shalt not drink and drive, but look how many do.)

The law gives him a directive. Whether or not he follows it is up to him. It's up to the parents to be aware and mindful and to act and react accordingly.

well.......the man is facing life in prison if guilty. hopefully he will get to know what it's like to get sexually molested at some point in his miserable pathetic life
