Sex Offender Kills Self Over Neighborhood Signs
Fox News ^ | April 22, 2005 | AP

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.

I always wonder why their initial crimes aren't reported. Why do these stories only say "convicted sex offender" but never the actual offense that they did. I would like to know the total list of crimes that can get a person classified as a sex offender that is registered....

Was he a child rapist? The story just says offender.

Castration kills the sexual desires. It works most of the time. I am all for the death penalty though.

Castration does not work.
Stop it.

They only use foreign objects instead.

The only answer is to kill them.

one less recidivist to worry about - good riddance!!! As far as his "mommy", I could care less - you had an a-hole for a son lady and thankfully, for everyone, he killed himself. He, not the county, is the only one to blame for his timely death.

Nor does it say what kind of sex offender...the neighborhood called him a child rapist...but the article doesn't say what he was convicted of.

Florida Freepers used to put up "Sexual Predator" Bill Clinton signs whenever he came to Florida (he came a lot).

We did not have the success that these folks had.

Indeed.

What more proof is needed that we are a devolved society? We put convicted child molesters on the street when we should be executing them. We get what we deserve.

You can be sure the AP has an agenda in that omission.
