Convicted Sex Offender in South Hills

Well, the sign thing has two immediate items.

One, which might place the sign placers in violation of any HOA restrictions, if there are any. If there are restrictions, and the HOA does nothing about them, then the HOA may be civilly liable for any damages from not enforcing the covenants.

Two. If I'm trying to sell my house, and a potential buyer sees those signs, even though the house I'm selling is at the other end of the sub division, I may be economically harmed from the signs being posted (buyers passing on my house, when they might have been interested if they hadn't seen the signs.)

These days, a frustrated seller may believe that the signs have economically disadvantaged his selling efforts and try to seek recovery.

I'm just saying....

 

You may think that. but the hard numbers tell a different story.

Therein lies the problem. People keep thinking that child molestors are likely to molest again, yet offer no proof to back up what they think. What some do provide are opinion articles from sites that have a vested interest in continuing the falacy. Tell me, do you think Mr. Walsh would be able to make as much money as he does if he were to admit that recidivism rates were so small? Of course not.

Fear sells. Putting a face on that fear sells even more.

What if the major crime didn't involve a gun, but a knife instead? By the way, for the record, the state of Arizona says that I can own a gun.

My point was not that her not dating me was unfair, but the fact that she immediately presumed that I was undesirable simply because of something that happened twenty years sgo.

 

I see you point. I remember reading while back that some people put the signs up not in NC anyhow the man sued for harrasment I can't remember all details but I think its not legal in some states to do that.

 

I agree it was rude she should have just finished the date and then not went on another one if she felt that way.

We are going to always disagree on this issue I think 1 and a million chance of repeat offending is not a chance worth taking with a child molester. I think life in prison with out parole is only fair for them and it would show others who want to commit a crime against a child to stop and think about being behind bars forever.You are intittled to your oppinion and I am intittled to mine and thats that.

As far as the knife thing it would depend on if it was held up to someone. If they were threatened. I myself am more afraid of knifes than guns and I also read a study once in school that most women are more affraid of knifes than guns thats why they are used more in sex crimes against women because most women are afraid of being cut dismembered exc. If I can find that study I will post it but its about men who are serial rapist who are under study for the way and reasons they go about their crimes. I am not going to go into alot of his work ( the dr) but he runs a clinic of sorts researching these people and writes lots of studies that are qoutes of the offenders themselves.

 

So an 18 year old boy raping a 16 year old girl is not likely to repeat that type of offense?????

 

Rape or Statuatory Rape? Big ol difference.

 

According to Clif the answer would be a big No.

 

NOT what I meant. I mean the times you hear about a 16 dating a boy who is 17 and then he turns 18 and the parents do not like him for what ever reason and turn him in for being with their daughter. That happens alot. I know someone who this same thing went on they loved the boy to death they gave him permission to date even put her on birthcontrol as the mom said at the time just in case something happened she wouldn't get preggers. Well he brought her home late a few times and got a little mouthy with the girls parents and BAMM they found out by reading her emails they had had sex and had charges brought on him to get rid of him more or less. This happens alot more than you think.

If a 18 year old or a 10 year old boy rapes someone I think they should get the same time as a adult. Adult crime adult time and that old saying don't do the crime if you can't do the time. I have NO sympathy at all for any sex offenders. I think the laws really need to be changed for longer punishments for the offenders who are adults attacking children.

 

Thats what I was saying. Some parents use this against boys they don't want dating their daughters. I think thats where the system fails . There are young boys who are registered sex offenders who just dated someone a year or 2 younger than them. Now they are registered sex offenders. I don't know about yall but my daddy liked nobody I dated or date now, nobody is good enough for his little girl . Some parents take it a bit further and have these boys locked up. That seems unfair to me. Its making the boy a victim. He is being punished like a rapist when indeed he is dating his peer.

 

How is that possible when the age of sexual consent in North Carolina is 16????

 

They started dating before she was 16 and before he was 18. They had B-days a couple months apart his came first. Thats how it was explained to me. I know for a fact they even let the boy come to their beachhouse and stay over night for vacations. He has not went to court yet so he is not on the list as of now it may get thrown out I don't know what will happen I just know they want him out of her life and blame him for her" attitude".

 

Its not often but some people abuse the way it is set up. I am not at all saying he was some perfect young man or she was. I just think 15 and 17 is not far apart and then they were 16 and 18 thats not far apart either. She says it was consensual . What I was told the sex did start before she was 16 that may play into it when it goes to court. I have no clue how that will work out. I would think it will be thrown out because how close they are in age.

 

Yea its 2 years though. I am not saying it was right. I wasn't there I don't know. I just heard the mom make comments that she was gonna fix his little azz for starting chit in her family. That why I think its just bitter parents and maybe over something else she was sneaking out the house bunch of stuff it just sound to me like they could not get her to behave and he had something to do with it in their eyes and it was a do as I say and don't see him anymore cause like I said last time I had seen them they thought of him as someone they wanted her to be with and didn't mind the age difference even told them to be careful if they had sex and put her on the pill. I think they have alot of bad parenting going on.

 

Clif takes up for anyone who has commited a crime no matter the crime. He has sympathy for them for what ever reason. Think real hard on it and you will know in your heart why he defends them if you don't already I think everyone has a inkling about why.

 

Yea I don't know what should be done I don't know all the details just what was said in front of me IMO the parents themselves should have to take some responsibility in this. They did allow her to date him be alone with him so on and so on. They should have nipped it in the bud at the begining and said he was to old for her then.

 

Nope, still doesn't add up. Do a little "google" investigation and I think you'll find that in North Carolina that while the age of sexual consent is 16, when the girl is under 16, then the boy has to be at least 4 years older than the girl to be charged with statutory rape, or at least 5 years older than the girl to be charged with indecent liberties.


When I worked in prison, one of the first thing guys 18 would try to say was that they were given for time for indecent liberties or statutory rape for being with their 15 or 16 year old girlfriend. That was just BS to save face with other inmates who didn't know the law. Usually it was a child 9 yr old or younger.

(Side note: Up until 1995 the age of sexual consent in North Carolina was 13)

 

Well, then he won't get in trouble for it then? They have a court date she was talking about that but they also have a order of protection he can not go near her but they live in the same neighborhood don't think they can stop them seeing each other when they are that close.

 

What the state determines a "menace" and what the court of public opinion determines a "menace" is two different things. I wouldn't have any problem being friends with someone who committed armed robbery 20 years ago, but I also wouldn't condemn anyone who chooses to avoid such people. Someone in that situation is very fortunate they weren't shot dead or didn't have to use their weapon and potentially kill someone. The debt they have to pay for that "fortune" is a very cautious and sometimes distrustful public. I'd say that's a good bargain.

As for someone who rapes a defenseless seven year old little girl, the fact that they are living in a subdivision is an insult to humanity. Any legal system that could allow this to happen is severely broken and deserves nothing but contempt from our community. Therefore let the court of public opinion commence with the proceedings. :evil:

 

I just called my mom to ask her she said the girl just turned 15 they were together when she was 14 he is 19 I heard over 18 and thought they said 18 he is 19 and he gave her a std and its not one that a prescriptions gonna cure. ( These people are not kin to me they live nextdoor to my moms house at the beach). They still should not have let her date him in the first place they are at fault to.

 

As has been stated, the age of consent in NC is 16.

If the girl is 13, 14, or 15 the boy has to be at least 4 years older, and it's a more serious crime if he's at least 6 years older.

Unless the defendant is in a position of authority or in a position where he has some responsibility for the safety and well-being of the victim.
