Sentences for some sex offenders defy reason (Op Ed)

March 20, 2016 Admin

We Believe:

  • No sexual abuse is ever acceptable.
  • Sex offense laws and policies should be based on sound research and common sense, not fear, panic or paranoia.
  • Current laws and policies that paint all people convicted of a sex offense with one broad brush are counter- productive, wasteful, and cause needless harm.
  • Each offense must be judged on its own merits with a punishment that fits the crime and does not waste taxpayer dollars.
  • The public sex offense registry and residency restriction laws do not protect children but instead ostracize and dehumanize individuals and their families.
  • Money spent on purely punitive measures would be better used for prevention, healing, and rehabilitation
  • We do not now nor have we ever had a relationship with the North American Man Boy Love Association (NAMBLA)
