OCALA, Fla. — A convicted sex offender apparently committed suicide in despair over signs posted in his neighborhood calling him a child rapist.
Clovis Claxton (search), 38, was found dead by his father with one of the signs beside his body. It was less than a day after his release from a psychiatric hospital.
His mother blames Marion County (search) Commissioner Randy Harris (search) for her son's death. Harris proposed putting up flyers in the neighborhoods of sex offenders to alert neighbors.

"Sex offender kills self over neighborhood signs."
Note to all child molesters: "Go ye therefore and do likewise."
Just when we thought we could never respect a sex offender, one goes does the right thing.
In all seriousness folks, I truly pray that this particular molester of children made peace with his savior, before he did the only thing he could do to spare other children from the threat of his perversion.
That's where I searched...got "No Person Found".
Ran a Googe search and I think he mighta brewed his own beer.
The people finally got a freebee!! I am not upset about this at all!! Maybe the other will take the hint!!
Seems like the sign idea works pretty well.

This is not clear. Did his father comitte sucide too?
NEXT CASE!!!
Hah, the AntiCastrationLeague is at it again.
Was he a child molester? Other than the neighbors saying he was, I can't find any info on him?
I keep thinking about this girl I met once, she was thirteen, probably 5'9" and her parents had her dressed up like a woman in her mid 20s. I swear, she looked older than me...and could put on a show. Had a guy in his 20s unwittingly had a relationship with her, he would have been branded for life as a "child molester".
I'm not taking up for this guy, but I sure would like to know the whole story.
Can't get into TOO much trouble in a wheelchair, huh?
See, the signs work!!
"Here's yer sign!!"
"I truly pray that this particular molester of children made peace with his savior, before he did the only thing he could do to spare other children from the threat of his perversion."
Amen.
This "Illegal" did what American courts just won't do.....

I like the idea of yard signs. I did a search on sex offenders registered in my zip code (small area west of Jefferson City MO) and found 36 sex offenders listed. Unreal.
Ahh...there it is. Missed that.
Too bad, fellow...I'd be the one stapling up the signs.
We oughtta bookmark this, GS. We're in complete agreement.
Weak minded judges and the press will hold this guy up as a martyr.
Was this bum even registered in the state database?
