A dozen Sand Springs Sex Offenders Could be Forced to Move Out (OK), November 22, 2010:
The city of Sand Springs is taking steps to move nearly two dozen sex offenders who live just down the street from a neighborhood.
City officials say parents are worried that so many sex offenders live near their children, so the city created a city park that draws new boundaries.
Under Oklahoma law, sex offenders cannot live within 2,000 feet of a city or county park. Both RV parks fall within that boundary.
Troy Norris owns both of the RV parks. He says he allowed sex offenders to live at his Tulsa County location at the request of Operation Hope Ministries.
“It doesn’t really bother me from a business stand point, personally it seems that it’s a little underhanded,” he said.

What’s Next for the Justin M. Bloxom Alliance for Innocence? November 14, 2010:
The Louisiana Legislature this year enacted the Justin M. Bloxom Act, which restricts employment opportunities for registered sex offenders by making it illegal for them to drive taxicabs, limousines and buses. It also makes service-type jobs, where entry would be required into homes, and the operation of carnival or amusement rides off limits.
A separate law provides for a lifetime sentence for a twice-convicted sex offender when the victim is under age 13. At the urging of Justin’s uncle, Kevin Witham, Oklahoma will introduce the Justin M. Bloxom Act in November. A Texas senator who is a friend of Justin’s stepfather, Judge Craig Fletcher, is exploring the sponsorship of the same bill there.

Panel Recommends Repealing Part of Jessica’s Law (CA), November 12, 2010:
A panel of law enforcement experts has come out against a popular California law. At issue is Jessica’s Law, which prohibits sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of a school or park. The panel says it is doing more harm than good and needs to be repealed. The report says too many sex offenders are now homeless, making it tough to track them. And experts believe when they’re homeless, sex offenders are more likely to reoffend.

Tragic Sex Case Warrants Look at Teens and Sex Crimes Law, November 12, 2010:
Experts say the statutes need study In the wake of a reported teenage sex encounter turned tragedy in Huron Township, legal experts and victims rights advocates say the state’s criminal sexual conduct laws should be reconsidered because the laws can hurt teens more than society benefits.
“There must be a better way of dealing with these cases” of sexually active teenagers, said Gail Benson, a Beverly Hills attorney who has extensive experience in representing defendants charged with criminal sexual assaults.
Teens today, she said, are living in a highly sexualized society.
“If kids are having sex at 14 and we can’t stop them, should we be criminalizing them?” Benson asked, also querying whether it’s good public policy to use felony offenses to “protect a 15-year-old girl against a 16-year-old boy.”
Tarnopolski said he thought Samantha was 16, but under Michigan law, Samantha, at age 14, was not permitted to make such decisions, and he was charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct.
On Oct. 18, with her mother at her side, Samantha appeared in a WJBK-TV (Channel 2) report in which she accused Tarnopolski of forcibly raping her — which contradicted her written statement to police.

Teen’s Life Too Short — and Too Public, November 11, 2010:
Under Michigan law, it is illegal to have sex with a 14-year-old girl, even if she consents. But there’s no law against broadcasting on television the same 14-year-old’s account of her sexual activity. And that’s a shame, because if there were such a law, Samantha Kelly might still be alive today. Late on Sept. 26, Samantha’s mother, June Justice, told Huron Township police that her daughter, a freshman at Huron High School, admitted having sexual intercourse with Joseph Tarnopolski, an 18-year-old senior who lived eight homes down the road from theirs. In a handwritten statement and two separate interviews conducted outside her mother’s presence, Samantha said she and Tarnopolski had sex for two hours one morning while Tarnopolski’s parents were away. She admitted telling Tarnopolski that she was anxious to lose her virginity. Police later found text message exchanges supporting the two teenagers’ accounts that their sexual encounter had been consensual. Those accounts, coupled with the fact that Samantha was too young to consent legally to sexual contact with anyone, gave prosecutors the grounds to charge Tarnopolski with third-degree criminal sexual conduct, a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison and 25 years on Michigan’s public sex offender registry.

N.J. Sex Offender’s Continued Confinement is Ruled Constitutional in 5-2 Decision, November 10, 2010:
When a man convicted for multiple sex crimes was sentenced to prison, he requested specialized therapy but was denied when a psychologist said he didn’t meet the criteria.
Years later, the same psychologist and others recommended that the man be civilly committed instead of freed after his prison term was up, saying he still posed a danger — in part because he hadn’t received any therapy.
After 11 years in prison, the man was evaluated again. The same psychologist who said he was ineligible for treatment at Avenel recommended that the state review his case for possible civil commitment, saying he “does not appear to have had any appreciable sex-offender specific psychotherapy.”
The man was civilly committed in 2007. One doctor wrote that he has “not moderated his risk through treatment. He has not had treatment for his sexually inappropriate behavior.”
The court’s decision was praised Tuesday by the state attorney general’s office.
“The majority’s decision correctly recognized that the Sexually Violent Predator Act serves an important public purpose and is neither punitive nor unfair as applied to sexual predators too dangerous to be released to the community,” Senior Deputy Attorney General Mary Beth Wood said.
The man is now confined at one of the Special Treatment Units in Avenal where he is receiving treatment, said Joan Van Pelt, the former deputy public advocate who presented his case to the Supreme Court.
“He’s clearly made significant progress in the program over a relatively short period of time,” she said. “It’s somewhat ironic, because that means had he gotten treatment while he was in prison, it was less likely he would have been referred for civil commitment.”

Jury Decides Homeless Man Was Not Masturbating, November 10, 2010:
It’s a classic case of ‘It isn’t what it looks like, ‘ according to the San Francisco Public Defender’s office. Anthony Richey, a homeless man accused of masturbating in public has been found not guilty – He was, they say, just trying to pee.
According a statement sent to media by the Public Defender’s office, on July 25th 2010, a passerby called 911 and reported that Richey was partially hidden in an alcove on the corner of Eddy and Franklin, playing with himself.
Richey was tried for indecent exposure and lewd conduct, misdemeanors that would have landed him six months in jail and a lifetime as a registered sex offender. In what may have been the most embarrassing two and half days of his life, the court examined Richey’s 10 year medical history of prostate and bladder problems.

Sex Offender’s Conviction Overturned, November 10, 2010:
The Nebraska Court of Appeals questioned state law Tuesday while overturning a sex offender’s conviction for failing to register after moving. Frey was charged with failing to register within five working days after moving from Seward to Utica.
According to the appeals court ruling, Frey registered the Utica address with authorities Feb. 22, 2008. He would have met the requirements of the law if he had moved Feb. 15 or later.
Witnesses at his trial offered varying dates for various steps in the moving process.
The sheriff’s deputy who arrested Frey did so based on the date that Frey’s wife had paid a utility deposit for the Utica home. The deposit was paid Feb. 12.
A neighbor in Utica testified she had seen people carrying belongings into the house around Feb. 9 and saw lights on and unfamiliar cars in the driveway during the next two weeks.
But she acknowledged that she did not know if Frey had moved any belongings into the home. Nor did she know who was paying rent, living in the home, receiving mail there or driving any of the vehicles seen there.
Frey’s wife testified that Frey had not spent the night in Utica before Feb. 18. She also said the couple had gone to the Sheriff’s Office on Feb. 16, a Saturday, in an attempt to register.

A judge has issued a temporary block of some of the provisions “Jessica’s Law.” At issue: whether the law actually undermines public safety.
According to the ruling, there are currently about 2,000 sex offenders on active parole living in Los Angeles County. “Jessica’s Law” prohibits them from living within 2,000 feet of a school, park or playground.
But a judge has now ruled the law is unconstitutional, which means many sex offenders in the county could soon be moving closer to you and your family.
