I truly hope people will read and realize a few things.
Watch the below video please from Congressman Bobby Scott

This article calls this man a SEX OFFENDER. He is NOT a sex offender, he is, if anything, an EX-OFFENDER. He served his time, served his sentence.
What one of you out there would stand for having been adjudicated guily of a crime, fined $1000.00 and having paid that debt years, decades ago, would go along with Sheriffs or Police officers knocking on your door and aresting you and telling you that you NOW have to pay another $25,000.00 for that same crime committed decades ago? Which one of you would agree to be placed on a public shaming registry for the whole world to see the crime you committed decades ago.
I think all who read this article and others about men or women who have served their time, should think of the words of Jesus. He told those who would stone a woman caught in Adultry, when they asked what should be done.."Let he or she among you who is without sin, cast the first stone"
The writer of this article, and all you out there who want to persecute people decades after they have served their time need to get a grip! This man in this story has rights too.
I am ashamed of this country. Americans watch rape and murder movies like Last House on the Left and call it entertainment, and pervert justice and the Constitution.
What a sewer this country has become.
“Every year there’s more restrictions,” he said. “When I got out of prison, I could live anywhere I wanted to. Now I’m on the registry for the rest of my life. If I was a murderer who was paroled, I wouldn’t have to do anything now.”
It’s been 20 years since John was paroled. He spent 10 years on probation after his release. He has never been in trouble since leaving prison, he said. His good behavior, however, didn’t mean anything when he moved the last time, from an apartment building to a house next door.
“People left nasty notes in my mailbox, they put a sign in my yard, they broke out windows trying to get me to move,” John said. “My neighbors told me it wasn’t them. They said it was people who didn’t know me.”
