Maine to Launch Internet Sex-Offender Registry

scubacuda writes "On Monday, Maine Today reports that officials plan to put info about the states 1,200 registered sex offenders on the Internet to allow residents to easily determine if a convicted offender lives in their neighborhood. Some jurisdictions - including Portland, South Portland, Saco and Kennebec County - already post sex-offender information on the Internet. But the new site will cover *all* sex offenders registered in Maine, and will include their names, ages and birth dates, where they live, where they work or attend school, and which offense they were convicted of. Photographs will soon be posted, as well."

    ... vital stats...
    vital stats for a sex offender? What's that? Penis length? Will it be updated if they use "natural male enhancement" pills.

    Also interesting to note, did he die BEFORE or AFTER they stuck his name, address, picture, and the fact that he molested a 9 year old girl IN TEXAS up on the web?

    Even more interesting: did he attempt to molest the 9 year-old girl BEFORE or AFTER he died??

    Pedophiles are disgusting enough, but zombie pedophiles? That's the nightmare scenario.

    Would you say that if it was your child that was molested?

    These aren't people who took a candy bar or even stole a car, SOME OF THEM HAD SEX WITH LITTLE BOYS AND THEY AREN'T EVEN CATHOLIC PRIESTS.

    If that isn't just sickening, I don't know what is.

    His info said he was black, but the picture says he is hispanic.

    The site says he is on probabation, but it also says deceased.

    Okay... hrmmmmm

    I guess even if you die they expect you to do your probabtion time..

    Wonder what his meeting is like with his parole officer.

    The one I thought was interesting was one guy who usually ran into trouble the first time he met his date's parents.

    He had never been in trouble with the law, but he did some work doing crime reenactments for a local tv station.

    While the girls he dated didn't watch the news enough to recognize him, their parents sure did.

    They have to make the registry from the list of sex offenders instead of for other crimes. Imagine if there was a convienent government sponsored website to find a local drug dealer in your neighborhood.

    Maybe after he died, they figured they'd cut him a break...

    That page states that his risk level is still "moderate". So moderately dangerous, Texan, zombie paedophiles it is then.

    He had paid a sixteen year old girl money to give him a hummer.
