OK: Sex offender searches in Oklahoma prove more complicated than one would think

Source: kjrh.com 5/12/23

TULSA, Okla. — The case involving registered sex offender Jesse McFadden has rocked the Henryetta community.

Investigators have already taken in mounds of electronic evidence from inside the home that has victims’ families concerned about possible sex ring ties.

The case has prompted a lot of you to dig into your own communities and the sex offender registry.

One woman alerted 2 News that a simple web search isn’t as easy as it sounds and there could be some serious flaws.

“This started by the McFadden case and wondering who’s in my area,” said Tulsa mom Michelle Bales.

When Michelle went searching for a sex offender registry, she thought it would be a simple Google search.

“There’s a bunch of different sites, nothing concrete,” she said.

There are multiple sites to find a sex offender database in your area — the Oklahoma Department of Corrections and local law enforcement sites. Tulsa police and Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office each have their own list. Then there is the national sex offender site run by the Department of Justice, citydata.com and familywatchdog.us.

And guess what? None of them are consistent.

At this point might has well automatically stick everyone on the database and collect their DNA at birth… from what I learned over the 20 years is people who have offended are not on a database until they are.. People sound all shocked and in horror when its police officers, teachers, coaches, politicians priests, family members, etc who are commiting these crimes.

Investigators have already taken in mounds of electronic evidence from inside the home that has victims’ families concerned about possible sex ring ties.

Has any of this evidence been released to the public indicating any type of “sex ring”? Probably not. In these investigations, police and prosecutors usually remain very tight-lipped and don’t release evidence for various reasons. I suspect those “concerned” persons are the same ones who wrote that incredibly uninformed online petition.

And it works in the reverse as well, as noted in the forum previously. The PFR has to work to get their name removed from those extra non-govt related websites once they are removed from the govt websites. Welcome to the world of the database! (That is your queue @Tim in WI…)

Ahh, The good old DDI. Who can remember life before its development? A game changer. A tipping of the proverbial playing field. The search. To boldly go where no man has gone before. Complicated you say. An uber underestimate that!
Jerry Cramer(MSNBC) investor extraordinare’ named it, ” The great disruptor ” in his interview with FTX CEO & founder, now fried bank man, Samuel Bankman fried. WTF does that have to do with sex offenders? The database driven infrastructure.
The foundation. The very same foundation SOR was built upon.
Refrain please from shooting the messenger. I am not responsible for linking the database to the sex offender. That goes to leadership’s doing. I didn’t disguise the inherent human involuntary servitude in the regime. I didn’t define it’s use as civil. I didn’t falsely claim the building of the SOR database a “passive gov” activity. None of us decided to advertise ourselves on a World wide scale, while simultaneously laying claim to local safety needs. I do not know how many masters the offender must serve. Sex offenders however are not the only group impacted. They were the first humans indentured. Every day folks see problems to, here’s a farmer-rancher engaged in its use. The vid @millenialfarmer on YT.
described application, usefulness, and the pitfalls in electronics use. The youtuber advertises a VPN. Why would you want to use a VPN? Obfuscation practices just like SCOTUS. Who’s the leaker? Harder to find than J. F. Kennedy’s assassin, I take it.

A system used to gather all the information of those society considers leapers has information missing. How’s that protecting the public? Hopefully registrants won’t be charged for every error due to the incompetence of those in government. Maybe now people can see how useless the registry is and the resources used to maintain it could be put towards other services. Ill quit dreaming, but it’s nice to escape reality ever once in a blue moon.

Interesting. I googled “Oklahoma sex offender registry” and found the official site on the first try, so I don’t understand what the difficulty is.
