Eureka Teenager First Female Designated "Sexually Dangerous"
WHOI-19 (ABC) ^ | Oct. 26, 2005 | Monica Landeros - Woodford County

“Sexually dangerous,” that’s what a Woodford County teenager is being labeled by the State of Illinois. She's also the first female in the state with that designation. 17-year old Tammy Wheeler of Eureka has been designated “sexually dangerous” after being charged with fondling two young boys earlier this year.

According to Woodford County Court documents Wheeler admitted to fondling other children before that incident. The documents say she suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder from physical and sexual abuse in her childhood, and has uncontrollable sexual urges.

State's Attorney Mike Stroh says during interviews Wheeler said she would continue to molest children.

“The fact is that she indicated to the doctor, and I believe the police as well, that she would commit this offense if she was given the opportunity to do that. She indicated that she had an uncontrollable urge, and that was something that caused us great concern,” said Woodford County State’s Attorney Mike Stroh.

Stroh also says the “sexually dangerous” designation assures that Wheeler will get the counseling she needs, and will not be released from the Department of Corrections anytime soon.

Wheeler is being held at the Dwight Correctional Center. It is not yet known which state facility she will be sent to for long-term treatment.

(Besides, everyone's "sexually dangerous" when they're drunk. They're drolling, smelly slobs who think they're either Casanova or Venus.)

Proof that perversion and sociopathology is not gender exclusive.

She is a predator.
Book'er. Felony child abuse. She's done it twice already. Are they waiting for number 3? Geez.
Try her as an adult too.
Put her in prison.
Make her register as a sex offender every place she goes for the rest of her life.
Put her name and photograph everywhere public.

Most child molesters had bad childhoods from molestation. That's no excuse for becoming one.

Ain't gender "equality" great?

One can only imagine however the abuse she likely suffered as a child. As much as we detest the crimes, many of these cases stem from horrible abuse suffered at the hands of adults before them. Breaking the chain should be everyone's focus.

1. What do you think YOU'RE doing? This is a discussion thread and I can write anything I damn well want.

2. The reply was NOT addressed to you, by the way, so who asked you anyway?

3. Who made YOU the arbiter of what I could do? Have you designated youself the thought police? Or do you simply view the world from your own little throne?

4. If you used the brains God gave you, you would see that I am commenting, rather harshly, on this sex offender and her milquetoast punishment.

5. But, then, if you HAD used the brains God gave you, you wouldn't have asked such stupid questions.

6. Why don't you give yourself until MONDAY to think of an answer. That way, you might come up with something worthy of the brains God gave you.

Who cares how much she suffered as a child? Lets do care about how much she suffers as a criminal and maximize it.

Agree! And locking her up for life will break this chain. Just think how many chains we could break if every sex offender was locked up!

Maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds like you're defending her. 17 is certainly old enough to know better. It's not like she's 5 and just "exploring". She sounds like a danger to me. I would NEVER let her near my kids, no matter how much treatment she gets. Would you?

Yeah. The search function isn't working very well right now. I did check.
