He’s registered, according to Facebook sex offenders are not to create accounts. Facebook deletes his account no need to prosecute. Is the Facebook policy stupid? Yes.

This is very serious! I was thinking he jay walked or emailed someone by accident. I bet he is out on a 2 million dollar bail? Was the entire force on this case? This is simply an example of the law enforcement officials trying to stick one on him, because he wanted to get off the registry. It’s interesting to see how society views the police as the good guys. I.e.: if an inmate sued the police, they would view them as a scum bag. Yet, some police departments are sueing inmates who get released after the department finds out they have money? I no longer trust the police.
