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!

Sacramento - Keep a close eye on your boys

A convicted sex offender is now considered no longer a sexually violent predator in the eyes of the law.

Timothy Boggs' lawyer successfully argued for an unconditional release.

That means Boggs will no longer check-in with parole agents and will no longer wear an ankle bracelet; he will be able to travel and leave the state as he pleases.

Boggs will still be listed on California's sex offender registry.


Boggs has two convictions for molesting 9-year-old boys in the Sacramento area in the 1980s.

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.

More proof that we need to adopt the one stike law

The body of a Maryland girl who authorities say was abducted by a registered sex offender was found Friday after thousands of volunteers fanned out to look for her.


Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis said that the body of 11-year-old Sarah H. Foxwell was discovered at about 4 p.m. near the Delaware state line. He offered few other details. Thomas J. Leggs Jr., 30, has been charged in her kidnapping.


Lewis said Sarah was last seen Tuesday night at her home on Maryland's Eastern Shore. A relative discovered she was missing early Wednesday while checking on Sarah and her 6-year-old sister. A charging document says Leggs was the last person seen with Sarah.


A "juvenile witness" awoke during the night Tuesday and saw Sarah leave the bedroom with "Tommy," and said he was wearing blue jeans, an orange jacket and white sneakers, the charging document says.

Leggs is listed on the Maryland and Delaware sex offender registries. The Maryland listing notes that he is a child sex offender, but does not give details about his conviction.


Lewis said Leggs has been convicted of sex offense in Wicomico County and was charged Oct. 29 with fourth-degree burglary.

In 2001, Leggs was convicted in Delaware of rape for having sex with a victim who was 16 or 17, according to the Delaware registry. The registry describes his risk level as "high" and notes he is unemployed.

Leggs, who has been convicted of assault several times, also is awaiting trial on charges of burglary and destruction of property in Ocean City

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.

2,356 fugitive sex offenders nabbed

Among the 35,190 fugitives apprehended during Operation FALCON (Federal and Local Cops Operating Nationally) were 2,356 fugitive sex offenders, the service said.

"This might be considered the cream of the crop for the most violent felons that are out there. For example, we arrested 433 murder suspects," said U.S. Marshals director John F. Clark at a Chicago, Illinois, news conference.

In the course of the operation, the marshals also confiscated 582 firearms and 2,400 kilograms of narcotics. "Often when we find fugitives in hiding, we have other fruits of their crimes: firearms, drugs, some other evidence of some type of criminal activity," Clark said.

Unregistered sex offenders were a major target, Clark said.

"We highlighted one [case] here in the Chicago area. It involved an individual who was alleged to have molested a 9-year-old girl. He had violated his parole, and after an investigation he was located," he said. "There's evidence of further crimes that happened since he didn't register as a sex offender. This is typical of the type of individual who is out there, somewhere on the streets of America, and is often harming

Imagine that! Further crimes happened since he didn't register as a sex offender? Typical behavior of this type of individual? WOW I bet fallenones lip is a quivering!!

Manhunt moves to Colorado with cash reward

A nationwide manhunt for fugitive sex offender now is centered in Colorado, U.S. Marshals said today.

Robbi Potter, who is believed traveling with a 3-year-old girl and her mother, was spotted at an Ampride gas station in Stratton, on Interstate 70 about 147 miles east of Denver.

"He is a convicted sex offender — the most dangerous kind — committing sex offenses against minors," said Andrew Deserto, a chief deputy U.S. Marshal in Ohio. "We want to get the little girl and want the guy caught and put him where he belongs."

Potter, 27, is wanted on both state and federal warrants for parole violations as well as escape for walking away from a halfway house for sex offenders in Mansfield, Ohio on May 28, three days after he was released from prison.

Potter is a Tier III sex offender, Ohio's most serious designation.

Haylee Donathan Missing

Another precious child missing. Another so called mother who hangs with convicted sex offenders.

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.

Where is little Nevaeh?

Where is this child?

What kind of mother 'hangs' with registered sex offenders?

Who was watching her?

Too many questions, and no answers.

If you are in the area and would like to help, a search party will gather at 4:30 p.m. at the Monroe K-Mart parking lot Friday. They will search fields behind Victory Honda and the mall in Monroe.

People are wearing yellow ribbons and yellow shirts Friday to show their support for finding 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan.

Sex offender waives hearing in rape case of 3-year-old

A convicted sex offender recently charged with additional sex assault cases after his DNA was examined since being imprisoned, yesterday waived his right to a preliminary hearing in connection with the kidnapping and rape of a 3-year-old Wilkinsburg girl in 2002.

Police said that in April 2002 a 3-year-old girl was taken from her home in Wilkinsburg as she slept in bed with her mother. The mother woke up around 2:30 a.m. and called police.

A passer-by found the girl in Highland Park about three hours later. She was taken to Children's Hospital, where an examination showed that she had been sexually assaulted, police said.

After DNA tests had been done, Mr. Lipinski was charged with kidnapping, rape, burglary, reckless endangerment, indecent assault, corruption of a minor, and two counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse in connection with the child's abduction.

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.

Christopher Brian Gilreath, 39, was charged with felony murder, aggravated battery and cruelty to children in connection with the death of Joshua Pinckney, according to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Department.

Gilreath also is charged with possession of a firearm by a felon and failure to register as a sex offender in Georgia. He is a registered sex offender in Pennsylvania, authorities said.

AZ Won't Meet Sex Offender Registry Deadline

Shame on them!

By July 1, states will have to bring their sex offender registries in line with new federal standards; Arizona will not make the deadline.

The Adam Walsh Act requires states to organize sex offenders into three categories and keep accurate data on their whereabouts, e-mail addresses and employers, among others, in order to create a national sex offender registry. States are also required to post photographs of sex offenders online.

Arizona's current registry contains basic information on the whereabouts and appearances of medium- and high-level offenders.

Sex-offender arrested for unapproved move to home with kids

A convicted sex offender was arrested Wednesday for moving to a new address where children were living and failing to report the move to authorities.

Springer had to register as a sex offender after a misdemeanor conviction of second-degree sexual abuse, which involves a female between ages of 12 and 16.

Victims' Advocates Praise Sex Offender Law

A new get-tough bill taking on sex offenders moves one step closer to becoming law this week.

Lawmakers are moving fast in response to public outrage over the rape and murder of 12-year-old Brooke Bennett. Her uncle Michael Jacques is accused.

The Senate Judiciary passed the new plan unanimously last week. The bill is currently in appropriations because there's money in it to fund special investigation units and prevention programs. It goes to the full Senate later this week.

And the bill is winning praise from victims' advocates.

The bill calls for program grants, funding to work with school kids and adults in communities.

After the Senate vote-- then the House needs to approve the bill. The hope is the Governor can sign it into law by Town Meeting Day in March.

Lawmakers consider implanted chips for tracking sex offenders

Lawmakers are considering a controversial bill that would outfit sex offenders with a surgically-implanted device that tracks their movement.

The devices would replace the ankle bracelets that are currently used to track offenders. The bracelets have been criticized as a lacking device as offenders have successfully removed them in the past before disappearing off of the radar.

"(The devices would) be a little more difficult to take off," said Rep. Maralyn Chase, D-Edmonds.

Similar technology is used to track criminals in the U.K.

Jasper deputies arrest sex offender trolling for victims

For the past week or more, residents of Jasper County had noticed advertisements posted at various places throughout the county offering babysitting services for $12 per weekend — but the ads solicited the babysitting services for “Females only” and requested their ages be “11 months thru 9 years".

The ads also caught the attention of investigators with the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department, who discovered the man posting the bulletins across the county was Thomas Louis Van-Hook, a convicted sex offender, who has victimized, at least, three female children in the past. But because Van-Hoot was off parole, had completed his sentencing requirements and had no stipulations to stay away from children, law enforcement officials were having a difficult time trying to find a way to charge him with a crime.

“We know where he is and we are waiting on a judge to sign the warrant,” Scott Duncan, a Jasper County Sheriff’s Department investigator told The Examiner on Friday.

The Examiner was told by a law enforcement source on Friday that a 2-year-old child may be Van-Hook’s latest victim.

“From what I was told they began investigating this after a little girl was left with him,” said The Examiner’s source. “Because she is so young she can’t make an outcry and unless he injured her the exam isn’t going to reveal anything.

“He is out there actively trolling for fresh victims. And because he has served his time, I am not sure what we can do about it until he victimizes another child. This guy is a sick bastard.”

The Examiner also obtained a copy of a letter that Van-Hook wrote in 2004 to the Procter & Gamble Company, the makers of Pampers Diapers, where he requested that the company do more to show the genital areas of children. The head of corporate security for Procter & Gamble sent the letter to the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department.

Texas Attorney General Urges Parents To Protect Children From Savvy Predators

A recent increase in young cell phone users has the Texas Attorney General urging parents to protect their children from savvy predators.

Cell phones can be very convenient for parents to keep in touch with their kids during after school activities. But because of this increase in use, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott believes more needs to be done to protect children who use cell phones.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott Tuesday encouraged parents to utilize tools that can help protect young mobile telephone users from harmful content and child predators. Abbott says by implementing parental controls and learning more about the potential dangers facing cell phone users, well-informed parents can help keep their children safe.

Because of these kinds of predators, Abbott recently urged the Legislature to update Texas' sex offender registration laws. If enacted, the Attorney General's proposal would require sex offenders to register their email addresses, mobile telephone numbers, social networking aliases and other electronic identification information.

New Law Monitors Sex Offenders On-Line

The New Year brings tougher restrictions for Georgia’s sex offenders. All 16,000 of them will have to hand over their internet passwords, screen names and e-mail addresses starting tomorrow. The new law is a big hit with some.

Michelle Rogers: “I think its great to protect young people. I work with high school and middle school students all the time and I know the internet is kind of their world a lot of times and anything that we can do to further their safety online I think is a good thing.”

Georgia joins a small band of states complying with guidelines in a 2006 federal law requiring authorities to track internet addresses of sex offenders. But the state is among the first to take the extra step of forcing its 16-thousand offenders to turn in their passwords as well.
