Judge orders sexual predator to stay in state hospital { Cary Verse }

MARTINEZ -- Convicted sexual predator Cary Verse should remain at a state hospital for violating the terms of his release by having a 14-year-old boy in his car and for trying to hide his associations with people with a criminal history, a Contra Costa County judge ruled today.

Verse, 36, bowed his head and covered his face with his hands after Superior Court Judge John Kennedy said the registered sex offender needs additional inpatient treatment at Atascadero State Hospital, from where he was conditionally released in February 2004.

A jury trial was scheduled for April 30 to determine if Verse can be released outright.

Kennedy said Verse had deceived people and didn't appreciate the risk his behavior posed to himself and others.

Still, the judge lauded Verse for performing "extraordinarily well for the most part" despite "extremely rigorous conditions," including "crushing pressure" from the public and "glaring publicity."

"Your years of good work are not lost on me," the judge said. "The evidence shows that Mr. Verse committed several substantial, but varying degrees of seriousness of violation, of his terms and conditions."

On Nov. 18, Walnut Creek police stopped Verse for a cracked taillight and found the boy in his car. Verse was giving the boy a ride to a Concord mall with the permission of his parents, . . .

For the most part? Sure, it was only a victim here and there, not like it was hundreds.

Good Lord, it is the Clintoon apologist defense! "the man is doing great things .. sure he has some pressures and needs a little release from time to time .. why, I'd take it as my duty to provide it [how many of those feminists spouted that one] ... maybe he was over the line on Monica but who are we to judge? it's only sex!"

What he needs is to have his neck stretched.
