Sex Offender Community Update - Part 2

[Jbirdie928]

Rev. Hein? Your lack of information makes you come across as arrogant. Your compassion for "saving the children" is shaky at best.

[joehenger]

That rev looks like some kind of sex freak to me, something about him. He is definately suspect. I would not let my children be alone with them, creepy.

[Huddie400]

In addition, Rev. Hein is so ill-informed about treatment for adult offenders. Someone should direct him to the sexoffenderhelp web site or the same moniker on You Tube.

[Huddie400]

Law is not a "representation of people's values" Rev. Hein. These laws are a representation of people's moral panic. I can't BELIEVE this priest's voice is one which ill-informed people are listening to. And WHAT sex offenses are we talking about??? Which ones exactly? Level 1, Level 2? Level 3? Does ANY average citizen know what crimes constitute these levels? I wager not. People say sex offense and think immediately of serial rapists. The range of offenders is far wider than that.

[divanj19]

this priest could be a pedophile.

[Dreambro1]

CONSENSUAL SEX WITH ANYONE IS NOT A CRIME! ITS A POOR EXAMPLE TO SLEEP WITH MINORS RATHER THAN MENTOR AND TEACH ABSTENANCE,, BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE MADE A CRIME!  RAPE IS A CRIME BY ALL MEANS! REGARDLESS THE AGE!

[iaqqms]

I feel sorry for this priest idiot. All laws are a responce to political fear. He is using stats from preditors not the 80-90% of sex offenders he needs to stop saying sex offender then the public can deal with the true risk to the community.

[Dreambro1]

@iaqqms ALL ARE CAPABLE OF COMMITING THES "CRIMES" WE GOT TO REALIZE WE ARE ALL HUMAN , WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES , SEX OR NO SEX,, SEX ISNT THE ONLY ABUSE, AS THIS LAW WOULD MAKE IT SEEM! 

[animality907]

The sex registry is a joke. Only a small percent of registered offenders are deemed dangerous by the judicial system. A huge bulk of them are consensual,statutory cases , even 19 year olds with 16 year olds. Its all overblown,media hysteria. The cops need to start monitoring the real pedophiles and quit harrasing people who simply broke a law. Was Elvis a sex offender for marrying Priscilla at 14? Was he a public threat? I think not!! Grow up America,Europe is way more progressive

[johnnecron]

the reoffend rate is 4% for those whos victim was a family member these individuals were treated succesfully and the data is there.

this catholic priest is a liar.

you should not lump all sex offenders together.

separate the pedophiles from the situational offenders and those who offend against family members. stop covering for you swine in collars that got away with it for years,hiding behind the walls of your fucking church

[tmaximus95]

Mr. Hess. I have serious reservations about you being a man of God. Separation from the community? Is that what Jesus would say Reverend?

The idea that sexually abused children go on to become abusers says a lot about this society.

Ask yourselves why you can have compassion for a victim, unless he becomes an abuser. Is your heart really in the right place, or are these opinions just a tool to be favored in the public and political eye?

[cdavidhess]

I think you have me confused with Rev. Hein. David Hess

[tmaximus95]

ooops... my bad Reverand... Sorry.

This guy Hein is off the hook. He has the right to his opinions, but he's no man of God.

Jesus taught forgiveness. what was it? 7 x 7?

I realize this issue is an emotional nightmare... But everyone's getting bogus data. This isn't right. 95% do not reoffend, yet these blanket laws are enacted?

Sorry for the mix up.

[ApparitionZ]

tmaximus95, you are correct. The recidivism rate is not 95%, the media has been lying to us. Most SO's have committed non-violent crimes and the re-offense rate is roughly 5%. This is according the the Department Of Justice. Even what Rev Hein quoted is not NEAR 95%. He is placing spin on the issue. Know facts, not myths.

[earlygilley]

David Hess. Are you joking? You are no type of authority on what should happen to sex offenders.

[chronicmrmo]

tag and bug the tossers and stick a dozen webcams on their heads so we can see wot they are up to. then curfew their asses. and only allow god slot channel on the tv and radio. theyve lost their right to be treated as citizens. oh yeah, food stamps for wages instead to cash should stop any further disorderly conduct. wish i was head honcho **** :)

[XXlostforeverXX]

Right, when there is no obvious solution, throw them in a pit and forget about them. Makes perfect sense. Tell that to 700,000 human beings.

[dwschoeb]

Is this a joke....these dudes are tards
