BillyVance 35 #1 February 4, 2008 Yep... got one of those dreaded notices in the mailbox. A 20 year old sex offender now lives less than 2000 feet from my home. Apparently he was convicted of having sex with a 11 year old girl, but the notice seems to say he served no jail time??? What the fucking hell? My neighbors across the street, who have a 15 year old daughter, are pissed too. They came over yesterday with a petition, and of course, I was the first to sign it (for the perp to move). We all have seen him walking up and down the street by our houses several times.

Unstable 9 #5 February 4, 2008 I agree with Walt. Find out as much as you can, and I think you should go meet him. He may openly explain to you why he had to send those notes out (hell,it's no secret) and he may open up. There is no excuse - but find out what kind of man he has become...=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livendive 8 #7 February 4, 2008 Does it say how long ago this happened? If he was 13, she was 11, and the act was as "consensual" as such a thing could be, that's a lot different than him being 20, her being 11, and him forcing himself on her.

mamajumps 0 #9 February 4, 2008 I am totally against all legitimate sex offenders, however I have seen several instances where the girl looked a lot older than 11 (yes some girls do develop that early) and act a lot older and lie to the boy. If he legitimatly abused the girl, then yes I will be the first to bring a rope for the lynching. But if it is a case of satuatory rape, charged by the parents, cause thier daughter is a little hooch, then please make the efforts to find that out....

AggieDave 6 #10 February 4, 2008 You should be able to get the information about the case, although you may have to go through a FFI act. It may not have even been a local case, but if you have his name some googling will go a long ways. Not only that, but you should be able to contact the agency that sent the letter for some more information. Do some research, sometimes people get screwed and have to registered. Sometimes people truly are a threat and you need to react accordingly.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

ryoder 1,590 #11 February 4, 2008 Just use the format of the notice you got to print up a "Skydiver Notification" about yourself, and put in in all the local mailboxes. That should scare him away as well as many others in the neighborhood. "There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

Hell you can nearly kill someone and the police know where you are and nothing will happen to you. I agree with Spence. A murderer does not have to send out a notice to the community. Hell maybe ANY convicted felon should have a scarlet letter. Although I would bet that it would be hard to try and start over in a community when a person has a scarlet letter. But hell they are all guilty and don't deserve a second chance right.Think of how stupid the average person is and realize that statistically half of them are stupider than that.

BillyVance 35 #23 February 4, 2008 Well, I called the sheriff's office. I didn't get much out of them. Just that he was convicted under the statuary rape classification since the victim was under 12, whatever that means. I know statutory rape is if the victim is under 16. His sentence was suspended and he is on probation. I'm guessing this was his first offense otherwise he would be in jail right now. The sentencing guidelines or the leeway the judges use can seem so fucked up. I can't imagine what the parents of that 11 year old feels like now. My wife, myself and our neighbors across the street have seen the perp walking up and down the street past our houses a few times. No law against that, but now that we recognized him in the notice picture, it can't feel good.
