And the way the laws are written today, they're probably right correct. That, however doesn't show that the public is lawless, but that many of the laws don't have the overwhelming support of the public. Take a look at the history of why there are 12 members on a jury.
I have tried to talk to a prosecutor, but what happens when the prosecutor's political agenda protects the sex offender and leaves the sexually abused child to rot? The fool only received 2 years in prison for his crime and the poor dear doesn't have to be on the sex offender list at ALL.
That being said, what about the sexual offenders who commit crimes against our kids, go to prison but are NOT put onto the sex offender registry? Legally!
Wyoming has this sort of backwards law and our politicians mis-use and mis-handle it frequently. Our VOTED IN politicians and it will only be through the public, the parents that it stops. We stop voting in District Attorneys and Judges who accept this sort of garbage and demand...DEMAND that these people account for their crimes..perhaps our kids will be safer.
When a 9 year old girl is molested in Wyoming by a FORTY year old man and that man goes to Prison for 2 years at Rawlins penitentiary, then is released this January onto an unsuspecting public..something is WRONG in our system. He is NOT on the sex offender registry..Why? I asked that of the Casper, Wyoming District Attorneys office and I was told that the District Attorney "has the choice on whom to put on the list and he didn't put this man on there because it was *ONLY* 4th degree sexual assault".
"Only 4th degree sexual assault". On a 9 year old CHILD...by a 40 year old man. Yet the DA in all his wisdom didn't find this frightening or important enough to feel this man was a THREAT to any other children in Natrona County.
This man has traumatized the child by showing up at her school...to "pick up" his girlfriends kid. He is free to troll the Casper schools, hang out wherever he likes, because in spite of being a CONVICTED sex offender...the Politician running the Prosecutorial Arena in Casper decided he was A-OK in his book.
Time to vote someone else into that office me-thinks. Then update the sex offender list. I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall while someone goes through his files to see just HOW many sex offenders slid through the cracks and are walking around free in Wyoming. This is also happening in Cheyenne, and God knows where else. Wyoming law leaves it up to the politicians to decide who is a danger.
Our childrens safety is left up to people with political agenda's, do YOU feel comfortable with this? Do you feel comfortable knowing that the DA is letting sex offenders walk around without being on the sex offender list?
You might ask how I know this. I know this because the 9 year girl is my daughter and the 40 year old scum is walking around Casper, Wyoming today freely having served only 2 years in prison for his crime against a child and the Casper DA still refuses to put this waste on the sex offender list even though he was convicted of a sex crime against a little girl.
He could be YOUR neighbor.
He could be having YOUR kids over for sleep-overs with his girlfriends kid as the shield.
He could be hanging with YOUR child as a "neighborly" friend.
He could be offering to "babysit" YOUR kids.
Sleep well tonight and check your daughters window's.
Don't forget to thank the Casper Wyoming District Attorney for all his hard work in keeping the child molester's off the streets and listed on the Sex Offender Registry accurate and current.
We need to get this law changed ..FAST before other children get hurt. It's not very comforting to know that you could have a child molester next door and not know it because the DA didn't think it was important enough to put him on the list.
