OMG. The Washington State Sentencing Guidelines Commission has voted to recommend a REDUCTION in penalties for child s*x offenders caught during sting operations.
The proposal, which reflects the Democrat-sponsored Senate Bill 5312, aims to cut the maximum s*x offender registry time from 5 years to 3 years for offenders with no prior child s*x crimes.
Democrats want to protect child predators.
"Meet Lisa Wellman, Noel Frame, T'wina Nobles, and Claire Wilson.
These 4 Democrat Washington State Senators are sponsoring a Bill that REDUCES the penalties for child s*x offenders caught in sting operations.
Democrats want to protect child predators"
They want to protect the Party.
How on earth do they justify their position? I wonder how their tune would change if one of their kids is abused. Funny how Leftists view things. They are all for immigrants and homeless people, but ask them if they would let them camp out on their front lawn and their morals seem to bend a bit.
There are other ways for a parent to get justice.
Get rid of the “boards”, make the law the law, clear, direct and unambiguous, with no sliding scale on the penalty, make the law deny any leeway to the courts, and any “supervision” not be a board or the court (not staffed for it) but by the state’s AG’s office prosecutors.
Instead of applauding how the sting operations catch child offenders sometimes before they have directly imperiled a child, they want the offender to feel their leniency and go away thinking they can get off easier again next time, when it’s not a sting operation. They are acting like the law enforcement operation is in part as “guilty” as the sex offender.
Democrats ARE child predators.
These wymbeciles make me ill
The thing to remember about Leftists is:
Leftists are leftists first, last and always.
Yep. My experience too.
Most child sexual predators DO have a prior background, and you don’t have to dig very deep to find it, either. So there’s that.
Muslims are muslims before they are American.
Because Trump is a Nazi.
They must not have any kids I wonder why?. /s
These 19th Amendment terrorists are why we must execute anyone who rapes or molests children and not arrest them for these hags to let go free.
Florida has such a law now. Florida respects children and executes predators.
These freaks probably dream of being raped they are so ugly.
Mostly gay male adults who believe enjoying their the company of their catamites is a hard-fought LGBT civil right.
“How on earth do they justify their position?
To justify their decision for reduced sentencing, the Commission members referenced a 2022 report from the Washington Sex Offender Policy Board that found individuals convicted solely through undercover operations reoffend at rates approximately 80 percent lower than those who targeted real minors.

They’re gambling with our children’s lives. They live on Mercer Island with the rich and Mercer Island, WA, does not have a lot of criminals; it’s considered a very safe, affluent community with significantly lower violent crime rates than the national average. It ranks as one of the safest cities in the region, with low rates for serious offenses like assault, robbery, and murder, and enjoys a strong police presence and quick emergency response. Not quite the same as other locations in the Seattle township that can’t afford the cops like the chops location.

Well, the offenders are simply giving in to their inner h*rniness.
A lawmaker could face internal disciplinary actions, including censure, reprimand, fines, loss of committee leadership, or expulsion from office by a two-thirds vote of their respective legislative body by defending sexual predators.
Accusations of defending a sex predator might lead to political consequences,
such as damage to their reputation or loss of constituent support.
If a lawmaker engages in actual sexual harassment, misconduct, or
criminal behavior, they could face the following consequences:
<><>Internal Legislative Discipline
<><>state legislatures have the power to punish members for “disorderly Behavior”.
<><>Reprimand or Censure: A formal statement of disapproval.
<><>Fines: The imposition of monetary penalties.
<><>Loss of leadership or committee positions
<><> Removal from influential roles within the legislative body.
<><>Expulsion is The most severe punishment,
<><>requires a two-thirds majority vote of the house in which they serve.
<><>Lawmakers may resign if facing significant public pressure or impending disciplinary action.
Ultimately, public trust is key in the political world, and while legal defense is a protected right, political bodies are wired to protect their own reputations and may act if a member’s actions are deemed “ethically repugnant” or criminal.
