Sex offender jailed for attempted luring
I have long struggled with the fact that this country is more concerned with locking up petty drug dealers than child sex offenders, and this case - reported in the Times - only reaffirms my stance:
Police say Henry Richard Newell approached the boy who was with his father inside a supermarket in the 1400 block of Broadway on April 2. While the boy's father was a few feet away talking to a salesperson, Newell walked up to the boy and said, "Come with me," according to charging documents.
Later in the little blurb about the incident, we get a rundown of Newell's criminal past:
Newell, who is homeless, has a prior felony conviction in Oregon for raping an 11-year-old girl and is a registered sex offender, according to the documents. He is being held in King County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail and is scheduled to be arraigned May 7.
Does it get much worse than raping an 11-year-old? Even if this gets the max sentence for "attempted luring," I'm guessing he's back out on the streets before too long. I know sex offenders have one of the lowest re-offend rates of all criminals, but it seems there are far too many cases of the justice system letting creeps like Newell slip through the cracks.
I'm sure his 11-year-old victim is still dealing with the horrendous crime he committed against her. This time, let's try to keep him where he belongs...behind bars.
"I know sex offenders have one of the lowest re-offend rates of all criminals, but it seems there are far too many cases of the justice system letting creeps like Newell slip through the cracks."
People who live for it, people who wake up in the morning thinking it, people who'll do jail re-living every sick twisted moment?
Spare us from social workers. Type 'schoolgirl' into the internet and accept that's your demographic.
In England if you say 55 year old men doing 16 year old boys is perverted you could be visited by cops or lose your job. Same ( until recently) with Canada as per 14 year olds.
So the 'legal' becomes a positive societal outcome. A person who points to the FBI Avalanche database and says that out of 300,000 credit cards ( child pornography related) the number of females can be counted on one hand, they're homophobic, police will respond in England.
Just because it is true, doesn't matter.
The deal is as follows, radical gays don't like the drift of proposition, even though they're not mentioned or even the primary focus, but they see something that needs to be nailed down, and they call the cops.
That's not recidivism, that's a political agenda that is directed towards making it a crime to say something, at this point it is still legal to think it.
Even in North America anybody relating pederastry to pedophlia will get a few looks, it is about homophobia.
Guys who do teenage girls are on a contimuum of what they can get away with, the preference part, that is window shopping, the doing is down to what's doable.
When you look at societies in Africa or Asia and think how wild they are, They're not a different species, there is no crash rail, we can be like that, we just have to go with the flow.
Portland has more organized pedophiles than Seattle because Portland tolerates them.
