If we don't come up with a one strike law in this country for child molesters we are going to have more John Albert Gardners running around and more babies raped and killed.

John Albert Gardner said "I am the most dangerous type of sex offender, I will kill, I know I will, I am the type that needs to be locked up forever".

One Strike Law

Thanks for the graphic Jacey!

John Gardner, child murderer

Habitual sex offender John Albert Gardner pleaded guilty today to murdering two teenage girls in San Diego County after prosecutors agreed not to seek the death penalty.

Gardner, 31, faces life in prison without parole for killing 14-year-old Amber Dubois and 17-year-old Chelsea King.

He also pleaded guilty to attempting to rape another woman who was jogging in San Diego last year.

None of this would have ever happened if we had a One Strike Law.

Nevaeh Buchanan RIP

Neveah Buchanan's body was found a just days ago and two men have already been arrested in an ongoing investigation of the greusom crime against a child. George Kennedy appears to be the prime suspect in the case, but no evidence has directly implicated him in the crime at this time.

Sex offender arrested in teen's murder

Darrin Eugene Sanford, 30, faces a first-degree murder charge in the death of 13-year-old Alycia D. Nipp (pictured), a Thomas Jefferson Middle School student.

Nipp's stepfather discovered her body around 2:30 a.m. Sunday while he was out searching for her after she had been reported missing. Nipp had been stabbed multiple times and police believe her body was dragged to a wooded area and left there.

Sanford was convicted in 1998 for communicating with a minor for immoral purposes and two counts of luring with sexual motivation. Details about that case can be found on Sanford's Registered Sex Offender Detail Sheet.

Justice for Andrew Burd

I was over reading Lost in Lima Ohio's blog and she has the story of little Andrew Burd.

This story is chilling to say the least. Little Andrew Burd thought he was going to be adopted by a wonderful christian woman, Hannah Overton. But Hanna Overton turned out to be not so wonderful, in fact deadly.

Go check out the rest of the story:

Texas child rapist-murderer executed

The state of Texas has executed its 13th inmate of the year, 47-year-old convicted child rapist and murderer Eric Charles Nenno, officials said.

Prosecutors said Nenno admitted to luring the girl into his home, choking and raping her, and hiding her body in his attic, stuffing her clothing in a filing cabinet. An autopsy confirmed that Nicole had been choked to death and there had been attempted sexual assaults both before and after her death, the Item reported.

Accused Child Rapist and Attempted Murderer Arrested in Memphis

Authorities say a man, who is accused of impregnating a 13 year-old girl and shooting a Memphis Firefighter, has been arrested.

According to the U.S. Marshalls Service, O’Neal Johnson was arrested in the 5200 block of Craigmont in Raleigh around 9:00 p.m., Thursday, September 11, 2008.

Police say Johnson, 30, was wanted after he was accused of getting a 13 year-old girl pregnant. Authorities also say Johnson is wanted for the attempted murder of a Memphis Firefighter. Investigators say the firefighter was at his part-time job at a laundry business when Johnson shot him, in November 2007.

Friends of Brooke Bennett testify before lawmakers

Jonathan Larson, a Randolph firefighter, arrived at a public hearing on sexual violence Thursday night at the Statehouse with a picture of Brooke Bennett pinned to his crisp white dress shirt.

Larson, a friend of Bennett's family, blamed lenient sex offender statutes for the murder of the 12-year-old girl that sang in his church each Sunday.

"I come before you today very scared of how Vermont is turning out," Larson told a panel of lawmakers. "(Bennett's) death could have been prevented … by installing stricter penalties for sex offenders."

"In front of you are pictures of a precious life that has been lost," said Mary Larson, handing out photographs of Brooke Bennett. "Why? How could this possibly have happened? Never again should even one more child be the victim of a predator who remains free through a series of a broken criminal justice system's failings."

Michael Yates, a father of three and grandfather of eight, walked one mile to attend Thursday's hearing. He told lawmakers they have neglected their duty to protect the public by failing to install 25-year mandatory minimums.

"Every time I look at the news I see these crimes against children and it just tears me up," he said. "I can't understand why the state is letting this happen."

For the friends and family of Bennett, however, only harsh punishments will quell the grief, anger and fear that have accompanied her murder. Laurie Miller, Bennett's middle school basketball coach, sobbed as she recounted the little girl's life.

"Once a sex offender, always a sex offender," she said. "I think they should be in jail for life."

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:

Long arm of the Law

Cindy Zarzycki is dead, and Arthur Ream is the man who killed her, a Macomb County jury decided today with a guilty verdict in the murder case against Ream, a 59-year-old convicted pedophile.

Ream will be sentenced July 22 to life in prison without parole.

The verdict, was bittersweet because it forced family and friends to fully accept that the teen was murdered April 20, 1986, despite their long-held hope she’d someday resurface alive.
