All she wanted to do, Delores Ann Harris told a jury Friday, was to protect herself and her granddaughter from a man who had been convicted 21 years ago of aggravated sexual battery, a man who has been on the state’s sex offender registry since 1997.
But the convicted sex offender in the courtroom was the victim in the jury trial. And Harris, 61, was the defendant, charged with misusing information from the sex offender registry. Full Article
+1 for our side.
I sent this in an email to ken and John. I think they need this (and I hope Janice follows through when the do their next show, like they did in Carson a couple of years ago and recently in Lancaster, harassing RCs) to happen to them.
Others should send it to them too or post it on their FB page. mentioning that CA has the same laws.
This is a very good article. I’m a little surprised that the law enforcement officers who work in the jurisdiction where the man is posting signs on his car ect/in front of his neighbors home isn’t being arrested as well. As such, we have so many people who have paid their debt to society, moved on with their lives and yet people continue to hound them like it just happened yesterday. I can recall the news crew interviewing the neighbor (the man parking his car on front of his neighbors home with a sign). The man would look down and almost not face the camera. Yet, he acted like a professional and stated, “I believe these people can’t change!” Based upon? Ignorant
Lol at the comments on that page. Some people get it…some dont. So much misinformation.
Let me say this in the kindest manner. If people are allowed to harass or create havoc for registered citizens like this, one of two things will occur. The person being harassed could potentially lose it and potentially commit another crime/against the person harassing them. Or, the person being harassed could be potentially harmed by a vigilante or some person who thinks they know what’s beat! I would also be lead to believe that whatever took place could be devastating. Again, if these so called law makers continue to create havoc for those of us who have gotten on with their lives, something or someone is going to loose it! Don’t wait until then to re-address these laws like Nevada ect. I’ve never once heard of a recently released murderer or reputed gang member having to go through some guy convicted of a minor sex offense years ago! Wake up America!
Harris stated that “her only concern was the safety of herself and her granddaughter”
How does concern turn into harassment of another human being? And why isn’t she thrown into the slammer for a few months?
This is exactly what happens when fear mongering and hate mongering enables weak minded individuals – who apparently see no connection to the constitution – to take the bait and believe that the harassment of registrants is a good idea.
I’m surprised that justice prevailed – or at least in this case – in Virginia as the states in those regions have the most vile and hateful policies toward registrants. The chaos trickles down to the average folks who mistakenly believe that the lawmakers knew what they were doing when they enacted these “laws” – and that’s using the term loosely.
Hopefully, this can set a precedent, albeit among few examples, of the other side of the statutes as it pertains to harming registrants.
