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....

Everything from the worst you can think of to getting caught taking a leak on a tree where someone can see you.

If the crime was really bad, you won't hear about it on the MSM. They know that will make the criminal look bad.

Very good point. Editors should demand that the actual crime be described, not just "convicted sex offender." Call the corrections department and find out if the criminal refused to participate in therapy while in prison. Many sex offenders do refuse available treatment. Take it another step and contact the victim and find out if that person is still dealing with the pain of the assault and report on that.
I wonder if the suicide's victim also said, "Good," when she read the news?.
