Daam!! seven children I don’t blame the community and he’s been locked up for 30 years so you know hes probably institutionalize and being labeled a sexually violent Predator he’s not going to be able to get a job he’s not going to be able to find housing once the realization and frustration sets in that there’s no place for him in society he’ll probably rather go back to prison where its was less stressful less worries less harassment less shaming and then he’ll end up re-offending or become non-compliant and in some sick and twisted way that’s his revenge on society its sad but to true..

THE ISSUE IS NOT WHETHER HE WILL DO IT AGAIN, BUT WHY AND IF HE DOES BAD THEN WE PUNISH AND ALL THE OTHER EXTRA…LIKE REGISTRY…CIVIL COMMITMENT…IS ILLEGAL WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!
AND THESE GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS ARE DOING MORE HARM….SO STOP BEING AN IDIOT AND SUPPORTING THEM AND STOP THE, MIGHT, COULD, OR SKEWED STATISTICS SAY THIS O THAT CRAP…ETC…HELLO !! IS THIS MAKING YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE…WELL GOOD !!! YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO HURT OTHERS UBDER THE PRETENSE …WHAT IF AND WHEN DO YOU THINK AND LOOK WHAT HE DID BACK THEN !!! HELLO !!!

So, he offended in the community and was sent to prision. What do victims have left to say about it… this is why cases of criminal law are person vs state not person vs victim…. In addition, what were the svps violated for? Did commit another crime or fall prey to the regulatory scheme…

These MF%#$%#%^ man,
“James is currently in a state prison hospital, but the judge said he has met the conditions for release. James’ release will now be decided after hearing testimony from victims and members of the community, according to the Judge.”
F%$$# the victims and the community members. I am so fed up with this shit I do not even care if the dude rapes a million kids and women or men or dogs or pigs or wtfever.
“James is currently in a state prison hospital, but the judge said he has met the conditions for release.”
END OF STORY….
You know I now have a grand daughter and if it happened to her I understand I may see things differently, but as of right now, he did his time and met the requirements for release.
This trial by communities and victims is BS BS BS….

@RegistrantNotAnOffender

Well said. The others who have a problem with my comment, you are more than entitled to your opinions but your comments are really off-putting and insulting. I’ve read your past posts and you know what I do? I just gloss over them. You should do so with mine as it’s an utter waste of my time to read yours.

I served my time, repented from my sinful ways and then reinvented myself by the grace of God, got married, found a career, and even started my own business despite this ignoble label that I carry. Do I regret being on the SOR? Everyday. Do I want to get off the SOR? Everyday. Do I have time to be bitter about being on the SOR and lashing out on others who try to understand both sides of the SOR argument? No. I do what I can to help Janice and team fight for us like monthly donations, responding to calls for action, e.g., calling and writing letters to state reps, etc. So please reserve your judgment on others until you actually know what you’re talking about you hypocrites. Thanks.

Since there’s no way to do it by law, the judge needs a way to do it by politics. Guessing it’s an election year.

Bill is absolutely right – the man did his time (well over, depending on whether or not he was given due process prior to being civilly committed), he should be released. Most states have a procedure to involuntarily commit someone. Was it followed here? Or was he committed solely because of his original offense?

And why should victims and communities have a say in whether or not the man gets released? Are all of them mental health professionals? Guessing not.

Victims had their say in court and get their pound of flesh upon conviction. No one deserves to be a victim of ANY crime, sexual or otherwise. But one’s victimhood does NOT entitle them to a lifetime of coddling. Yes, some victims are scarred for life, but life is all about getting scars and learning to get past them (and the overwhelming majority of them do, despite popular opinion). There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING therapeutic about encouraging and catering to a victim’s whims regarding their abusers.

For all others, they don’t have a right to confront, stalk, or harass those that make them uncomfortable. If you think your neighborhood is unsafe when certain people move in, then move yourselves. No one should be denied a place to reside merely because people would rather exercise a made-up right to know everyone’s business than their right to relocate.

Here’s the bottom line… what is in his sentence and what is in the law is what MUST be done. Otherwise the guy has legal action… and yeah, people (victims, opponents, etc) or the judge (under re-election pressure) hava a say so but it NOT in accordance with the law.

Break a law, serve the punishment. Break the law again, serve the punishment….. there is no deviation without consequences (lawsuits on the people, victims, courts, town, etc.).

Yeah letting the MOB determine who gets released, or basically what punishments the MOB wants is BS. We have seen what the MOB has done to people in the past. How about chocking him up in town square and stone and burn him, or parade him up to the hanging noose while the entire community throws a party in celebration and all gather around with their families and children to watch and cheer it on. Hell burn him at the stake, off with his head, into the dungeons of hell with him.
The MOB having anything to say about it or the fact that he is even having a hearing or platform for the MOB to spew their evil wrath is BS. The entire deal is BS.
And yes, law suits are the only thing any of these people understand. Money and hate is the MOB.

I’d like to know how many of these svp’a released into the east county have committed a new crime? Zero.

@Bo the problem with releasing people who can’t control their urges is it feeds the reoffense narrative. Civil commitment is not exclusive to sex offenders it is also used for the mentally ill. If people aren’t well or feel they will reoffend it’s okay to put them in a rehabilitative environment with the hope they can one day rejoin society. Do some places abuse that? Yes but that should be fought separately.

Our state has a successful model where level 3 offenders can live without restrictions because if they were a true threat they would be in CC

Yeah it is BS. Someone does the crime and does the time be done with it. CC is for mentally ill, if they consider anyone that is likely to re-offend then that means the habitual car-jacker, bank robber, jay walker, should all be in CC hearings. CC was meant for those that are in imminent danger from themselves or are an imminent danger to the public, or mentally disabled to the point they cannot take care of themselves in their basic needs. That used to be the standard. Here is a good article on it.

Pedophilia is not illegal, acting out on it is. It is not an action but a mental disorder. Most of us here including those with offenses against minors are not pedophiles.
