So get your neighborhood together and pay for the report.

You contradicted your own 'give him a chance' stance with the statement that pleading to something like aggravated sexual assault could be the lesser crime...so rape is not that bad anyway??? Oy...

read again. I also said if I didn't commit a crime but I think they might convict me anyway, I might plead to a lesser charge.

This isn't a witch hunt-this is insuring that things are ok and my kids and others are safe. As a registered sex offender, he is supposed be known to the local police-being that he's had at least 6 addresses in 2 counties, he's had a lot of notifying to do.

Saying megan's law failed you because he failed to follow it is crazy. Now, if they fail to prosecute him for not notifying them, THEN the law failed.

If you want to think this is some kind of 'persecution', that's your right. Let's just hope your kids never have to catch their bus in front of a registered 'aggravated assault instead of rape' resident....

If he did, I'd find out what the nature of the incident was. Until I knew I'd drive him to school myself, but I'd leave the guy alone. Once I knew, if it was a real issue, I'd then start taking action. Not until. My kid would still be safe - that's MY job, not the government's.

I wouldn't hire a babysitter who even had 'endangerment of a child' hanging over their heads; your implied suggestions that I trust that this guy is nothing more than misunderstood are noted.

And noted incorrectly. I'm not implying that you should trust him.
I'm saying you should find out what's going on before you start going after him.
I'm also saying that if the only time you don't trust someone around your kid is when the government tells you not to, then you need to wake up. There are plenty of untrustworthy people out there who aren't on any list. Don't trust ANYONE you don't know around your kids. Period. Frankly as far as kids go we should NOT be relying on Megan's law or the government to come tell us when bad people are around. We should be watching our kids regardless of whether the cop tells us there's definitely a bad person in the neighborhood.

I can't give a link, obviously, to the particulars of this person, but his charges stemmed from two seperate incidents. In 2000, he was convicted of sexual assault on a juvenile female and in 2003, was convicted of exposing himself to two 'stranger women'.

Now you finally have the facts, and it's no longer a witch hunt. This is good progress.

So, still think he's safe?

I'm going to be blunt here. Exactly where in hell did you get the idea that I ever thought he was safe? Just because I advocated knowing your facts before going off half cocked does not mean I was defending this individual or that I thought he was trustworthy.
