Jessica Lunsford killer, John Couey, Dead

Saving Florida some money.....Hope he rots in Hell.

John Evander Couey, a convicted sex offender awaiting execution for kidnapping, raping and burying 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford alive, died of natural causes Wednesday.


The 2005 crime prompted many states to pass laws named for Jessica that impose restrictions on sex offenders, including registration requirements. Florida's version bans them and others convicted of serious crimes from school grounds.


Couey took Jessica from her bedroom to his nearby trailer in February 2005, triggering a massive search. The third-grader's body was found about three weeks later in a grave in Couey's yard, only about 150 yards from her home.

Her body was found under a foot of dirt wrapped in two garbage bags. She had poked holes through the bags with her fingers, although her hands were bound with wire. She was still clutching her favorite stuffed animal, a purple dolphin.

Accused child rapist seeks change of venue

I don't think he'll find a place in America that will have sympathy for him.

Lawyers are seeking a change of venue for a Springfield man accused of raping a 7-year-old girl before leaving her to die in a burning house.

Jeffrey Allen Dickson is charged with kidnapping, forcible rape and two counts of forcible sodomy in the incident on April 6. Dickson’s lawyer said heavy media coverage of the story might make it tough for Dickson to get a fair trial in Greene County.

Public defender Rod Hackathorn said at a hearing yesterday he’ll file for a change of venue within a week.

The 38-year-old Dickson is accused of abducting the girl from a home and taking her to an empty house several blocks away. There, he allegedly choked, raped and sodomized the girl before making her smoke something from a pipe.

She awoke to find the house on fire.

Child Prostitution Sting Rescues 47 Children

Authorities Say They Nabbed More Than 500 Suspects as Part of the 3-Day Raids

Children across the country are being forced into prostitution in alarming numbers, according to federal and local authorities who recently completed a series of raids.

In the last three days, the FBI and police from 29 cities rescued 47 children from 73 alleged pimps and more than 500 others who authorities say sought to exploit them. Among those children saved: a 12-year-old from Texas; a 13-year-old from Ohio; and a 14-year-old from Michigan.

"This is organized crime, these people are moving kids from city to city," said Ernie Allen, president and CEO of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. "They are involved in 21st century slavery. ? This is a problem that is happening on Main Street USA."

Supreme Court Could Revist Death Penalty for Child Rape Decision

The Supreme Court is taking another look at one of last term's most controversial decisions, that it is unconstitutional to impose the death penalty on those who rape but do not kill children.

The highly unusual order from the court Monday stems from a glaring omission in the case: Lawyers on both sides failed to realize, and therefore failed to inform the court, that Congress had passed a federal law authorizing the death penalty for child rape by military personnel.

The court is asking the parties on both sides, as well as lawyers for the Bush administration, to file court papers on whether a rehearing is required and whether the existence of that federal law should change its analysis of the case. The briefs are due Sept. 24. A decision to rehear the case will take the votes of five justices under Supreme Court rules.

Repeat Child Molesters

I've been reading recently about a sex offender in GA, Matthew Caylor, who moved without notification to FL and murdered a little 13 year old girl.

Matthew Caylor who was convicted of Child Molestation on 2/21/2001. Only 7 short years ago.

People, well the ACLU and SO activists, are trying to say the sex offender laws are not working.

I say, the alternative is to keep them locked up forever. It is the only guarantee we have to keep sex offenders from re-offending, nothing else can make that 100% guarantee.

We all have seen the lenient judges and know this isn't going to happen anytime soon. So, for now, every restrictive sex offender law that we can think of, is a good one.

Just look at how many already convicted sex offenders just cannot keep to themselves:

Death for child rape & murder

The Supreme Court has confirmed the death penalty for the rapist of a five-year-old who killed her by inserting a stick into her vagina to cover up his crime.
He allegedly lured the girl away on the night of October 4, 2003, from a prayer meeting at a neighbour’s house in Agra’s Basai Khurd village with the promise of a balloon.

When she didn’t come back after a long time, her family started a search. Naresh Kumar, who was a complainant along with his brother Vishal, and another witness had seen Bantu take away the child.

Some people looking for her caught Bantu, completely naked, thrusting the stick into the girl’s lifeless bleeding body. She was declared dead at the hospital. The accused initially admitted to having raped her and murdered her.

Serial Child Killer Executed

One of Japan's most notorious serial killers, who murdered and mutilated four young girls and reportedly drank the blood of one of his victims, was executed Tuesday along with two convicted murders.

Tsutomu Miyazaki, 45, whose grisly killings of the girls, ages 4 to 7, in the late 1980s triggered calls for tighter restrictions on violent pornographic videos, was hanged at a detention center in Tokyo.

He burned the body of a 4-year-old and left her bones on her parents' doorstep. He also wrote letters to the media and victims' families taunting police. Japanese newspaper reports said he ate part of the hand of one of his victims and drank her blood. Miyazaki also was convicted of the abduction and sexual assault of a fifth girl.
