Studies on sex offender registries have not shown that they do any good. The best they have ever been shown to do is to reduce the number of new crimes commited by people not already on the registry. According to the US Department of Justice, 5.3% of convicted sex offenders will be rearrested for another sex offense. The majority of people on the registry are not pedophiles. Many of them have never harmed a child. Some of them didn’t even have victims to their crimes. If you don’t educated yourself as to who is actually on there and why, then you are the one who is in danger due to your ignorance. Any tool can only help you if you actually understand the tool, and many here obviously have no idea what the SO registry is all about. The purpose of the registry is to verify an offender’s information. This guy in Cleveland was properly registered, and the sheriff’s office did verify his address. What difference would making him come in every 30 days have made? None. This law will cost tons of money and will waste even more valuable time of our law enforcement officers and will do NOTHING for public safety. It is a feel good response to a terrible situation, and nothing more. What we really need are legislators who come up with actual solutions that work instead of beating the same dead horse with their political grandstanding. And no, by solutions that work, I don’t mean chemical castration, life in prison as a matter of course, or death penalty. I mean solutions that have a scientifc, evidentiary basis that professionals in the field have evaluated and are known to work - because those solutions DO EXIST. Wake up, sheeple!

Maybe with wannabee, now miami twp trustee mike nolan retiring from sheriff plummers stable of political hacks he will dedicate the manpower to keeping us safe and assign more deputies to track all the sex offenders in mont. co.

lms Phil Plummer does not put the necessary resources to tracking all the sex offenders he has available. Instead he puts deputies in task forces, like the union prez, who is assigned to a task force with scheduled weekly overtime. If he would worry about what he is required to do instead of being the self appointed “gang czar” he would be better serving the citizens of the county.

The guy was killing homeless and desperate women. Perhaps we should pass a law that requires that everyone have a home. Then we wouldn’t have these desperate women roaming the streets!

I say use the “castration drug” for the sex offenders it would solve ALOTTA problems & it would make room in the jails for the killers & drug dealers & anyone else who NEEDS to be there. They used to use the drug & found it effective in the offenders they used it on…I say if it works..USE IT

i fully agree with brian on the whole executing them thing. if they had passed that law a while back about child rapists being eligable for the death penalty then we wouldn’t have to worry about keeping them in jail or having to keep track of them or giving them the chance to do it again. if you rape a child, you will do it again and they may be sick and twisted but they deserve to pay the ultimate price.

Point about tracking these folks? Concentrate on the PEDO’S; PREDATORS; AND VIOLENT. Get rid of all the others. You can’t watch anyone if you’re trying to watch everyone. Stop exaggerating the numbers. You have more to fear within your own circle than out of it. And NO - KEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY DOES NOT MAKE IT OKAY - but also don’t ‘assume’ they are ‘branching out’ either. Just because it rains doesn’t mean the sky is falling. Get your own facts instead of letting TV do it for you; unless you REALLY DO believe everything you hear.

sheriff plummer has the mandated responsibility under the Ohio Revised Code to register and track sex offenders. The 2 problems with this set is Ohio lawmakers should make any sexual crime, rape and child predation a LIFE sentence without parole, NO EXCEPTIONS. Plummer should be made to pull out of the two task forces he is participating at the request and assignment of the FOP prez, who gets overtime everyweek and put those two deputies towards tracking sex offenders. The whole Sheriff’s office has suffered immensely under his lack of leadership, I KNOW I WORK THERE.

Sure they may have begun victimizing in their own families, but they branch out and I guess your opinion is if it’s kept in the family it’s okay? For every victim reported there’s probably 10 more that didn’t report. You folks keep protecting these tier 3 perverts and hopefully others are tracking them down.

Goverment can pass new laws requiring stiffer penalties but until the courts actually follow these new laws and carry out the penalties, nothing will improve. Once again, Dayton is in the top 25 most violent per capita cities of the US thanks to our magnificent court system. Check out the statistics on Montgomery County’s court site for yourself. It will blow your mind to the percentage of repeat offenders Montgomery county has. Do more research into the actual amount of time these criminals recieve and you will understand why Dayton is ranked 20th. Crime will not improve until we demand that our judges and prosecutors start protecting the citizens of Montgomery county by taking the criminals off the streets and putting them where they belong, in prison! And for a very long time.

The Police assigned to check on these people should not have to put up with any lip from any of these sex offenders. Will Ms Turner back them up?

“Tier 3’s are looking for your kids, believe it and no one is watching them” The majority of III’s have victimized w/in THEIR OWN FAMILIES! (Moms, Dads, Brothers, Sisters, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins - even close family friends) Know why you hear about cases like Sowell’s on the news? It’s a perfect combo of ‘Hype’, ‘Hysteria’, & the old saying ‘Sex Sells’. ‘Sex Sells’ (even horrific crimes of it); it can be OVER-hyped that SO’s are randomly seeking YOUR kids; and OMG! It whips everyone into ‘hysteria’. LOGIC AND COMMON SENSE.

Hey Frank - You’re okay with castrating young men who had sex with their teen girlfriends? Guess YOU never “got any” in HS huh? THOSE BOYS are tier II from the jump - guess we’ll just cut their blls off and it’s all good then, huh? Dumbass.

If Ohio would take a logical, common sense POV when sentencing SO’s; there wouldn’t be so many of them on registry. The comment about Tier II was ignorant; you can be a II for urinating in public; taking a p*ss in a park doesn’t mean your an SO. I’m not worried about teens having sex or the other 100’s of ways you can become registered. WE NEED TO FOCUS ATTENTION ON THOSE WHO VICTIMIZE CHILDREN or VIOLENT RAPIST ONLY! Then there would be enough enforcement to TRACK the truly dangerous!

Give a drug dealer a hand up, and they will take it. No one wants to sell drugs for a living. But keep giving these pervos the chance to touch children again, and they will. Its ingrained into them, its a sick fetish that some people have, they will never be cured. Lets take our focus off the failed war on drugs and on these pervos. Not even therapy will help these people, they will always have those sick thoughts of theirs and will continue to act on them. I live in a decent area and I have three sex offenders living down the street! With children in the area! young children at that.

Barry, the problem with keeping them locked up where they belong are your buddies in the ACLU and other liberal leaning lawyer groups demanding they be released at completion of sentence. The studies show the child sex offenders cannot be fixed, but the lawyer won’t let them stay in jail, so the registration programs are a poor measure to try to keep track of them. I say shove a gps chip up their azzes and track them via gps. in the alternative, if they abuse a young child, give them one appeal and then execute them.

either the person is a dangerous criminal, and should be in jail or this is a total pile of rubbish. if they have committed a crime keep them in jail, do not let them out early, do not pass go, and do not collect two hundred dollars. the problem is we keep letting them out of jail early.

Several people have expressed thoughtful, intelligent comments. My first thought was with all the cutbacks because of budgets who is going to do the checking? Either this lady is political grandstanding or she needs to do some better research on feasibility.

If so-called “tier III” offenders are so dangerous, they should be in jail. The offender list needs to specify the nature of the offense, as the vast majority of them are guilty of minor non-child related acts of stupidity, not child molesters. The knee-jerk reaction is always to jump to that conclusion.

Seems to me that the problem was that the police didn’t investigate missing persons. So, eleven women went missing and the police didn’t investigate. So, now we want to give the police something else to do besides investigate missing persons.

88 Counties in Ohio, 17,000 sex offenders or more. Many counties NEVER go out to check on the offenders. “homeless” are playing games and are living places but lying about it. The SO’s don’t have staff to check. Many counties have laid off and have NO ONE checking the offenders. Tier 3’s are looking for your kids, believe it and no one is watching them.

Don’t you know CRIMINALS have RIGHTS. The crybaby liberal left brought this upon us in the 1970’s. Once a person has “paid their debt to society” they are free again to rape, kill, rob, whatever. Let all the liberal fools pay for this themselves out of their own pockets. Or, follow the advice of Brian shown in an earlier post!

This might be possible in the large counties, although Cuyahoga SO is terrible at it, to check, but rural counties have no staff for this. Many don’t even have cops running the registration program. Ohio has to give funds to the small sheriffs to do this.
