Thousands of NY state sex offenders due to disappear from public registry

The names of thousands of New York State sex offenders are due to come off a public registry, prompting demands for a change in the law.

State law requiring Level 1 offenders to report their whereabouts to the registy for a 20-year period was up Jan. 1, News 12 Long Island reports. The law took effect in 1996.

Laura Ahearn of the Long Island advocacy group Parents of Megan’s Law told the station about 60 to 70 Level 1 sex offenders in Nassau and Suffolk alone will come off the registry this year.

“We have a stack of Level 1 offenders that have committed serious offenses against young children — as young as 2 years old — and they are going to be dropping off that registry,” Ahearn told CBS New York.

The Level 1 designation can include child molestation, rape in the first degree and sodomy, according to the station.

Level 2 and Level 3 sex offenders are required to register for life.

The registry is publicly accessible online.

Long Island Republican Dean Murray has introduced a bill in the Assembly that would extend the 20-year requirement to 30 years.

But he told News 12 that he needs a Democratic sponsor in the Democrat-controlled chamber to get the bill passed.

“I don't know if this is a leadership issue, or what it is, but I'm continuing to push very hard,” Ahearn told News

But you said

“my thought is that if they have reoffended they probably are not a danger and should be of the list, “

You are saying habitual sex offenders are not a danger?

Please explain, as I believe those repeat offenders are the ones who are proven to be hard core and should NEVER be released upon society.

habitual offenders should be on the list. the 18 year old high school senior that has sex with his 15 year old high school sweet hart should not be on it. make sex offenders list to broad and it stops being helpful. if some one has ben listed for 20 years on a sex offenders list and they have not reoffended even minerly they are not likely to reoffend.. if the police has any sort of contact during that 20 year time even if not convicted start the clock over again.

Got it. I believe you misspoke originally by the way it was worded.

As in any case, there are the worst of the worst for any group of felons.

What you are advocating are degrees of sexual deviancy with the lowest being an inadvertent one to a truly vicious and untreateable one.

Well, I can’t figure out what that reply means.

Not for lack of trying, mind you.

So let’s just let that one rest.

ok. you’re right it’s a stupid law.

what do you want from me? I just live here. :)

mom’s 82 and I’m here as long as she is.

I hate the heat so that means I have to find a conservative cold state.

no avocation, just think that the list should be useful for parents and the general public in knowing whether there is someone that the public should be wary of.

Idaho, Wyoming, or Montana.

If I could, I’d be in one of those three states.

In a heartbeat.

I was being serious. They are three great states. If you’re able, go and visit.

The feeling of driving through a conservative, freedom-loving state is like no other feeling of “coming home” that you’ll experience. Well, maybe it’s a close second to visiting a European country or another soft tyranny for a while and coming back to America.

I am serious too.

I dont want to be here anymore, really.

It’s that dam italian son guilt thing.

“i felt dizzy today and with you so far, it scares me”

will be many of the messages i would get.

i just hope she doesn’t outlive me.

i would LOVE to move to a red state.

been to Italy and Sicily. Sicily is more beautiful and it was free because of relatives there :)

but Western Europe’s best days are behind them

Ah, yes. The guilt trip. Hang in there and do what’s right by family. After that, you can move to a free state without guilt and finally breathe fresh air (without being taxed for it).
