A feud in one neighborhood has reached a boiling point, after one man bought a billboard to pressure a registered sex offender to move in Robinwood, Alabama.
Jeb Lessley had the billboard made at a local business for $160. It shows Raymond Martin's mugshot and lists his address and charges, including second-degree rape and sodomy for a 2013 conviction involving an underage girl.

Something smell on this 27 murders in a five week period in a podunk Nebraska town.
There are only a couple of articles online that mention this. and the photo in the article looks to be photoshopped.
Think about it. Nebraska. 27 murders in five weeks. Small town. Virtually no reporting of it.
If it were Chicago maybe, but a small rural town in Nebraska?
I live in Nebraska and haven’t heard anything about this. If 27 people have been killed it would be huge news all over the state.
From your link:
In fact, most people are shocked to learn that the most common age of people charged with a sex offense isn’t a creepy 39, or 51.
It’s 14.
Charged, not convicted. My son was charged at age 15, then the judge found out that his pregnant g/friend was 3 months older than him and dropped the charges that her father had pushed and he was ordered to pay for my sons attorney fees.
The poster who brought this up said registered sex offenders
““Sex offenders have the lowest recidivism rate of any crime EXCEPT for murderers.”
10 or so years back a friend at church perved on a 14 year old son of one of the church members. None of us saw it coming.
The guy had to sell all his assets for legal fees, got 5 years probation, put on the sex offenders list, lost his professional license and moved to another town.
Some of my other friends talk with him from time to time. It’s their conclusion he’s rehabilitated and moved on to 18 year old boys.
That SC case is creepy. The article I read today said that he confessed to murdering 4 people 12 years ago because they laughed and made fun of him.
He confessed to killing the most recent guy because he was mouthy. He didn’t kill the girl because she didn’t do anything.
I can’t recall the details on the 2nd body they found buried on his property.
I didn’t see where it mentioned his age at the time.
Granted, if she was 18 and he was 40, it would be legal.
It would be a big help to him if he was just 19 when it happened. That would make them very close in age.
Just offering a source for the possibly misinterpreted statistic.
BTW the age of consent in Alabama is 16.
That’s nonsense. Been in LE for over 20 years and not only have I never arrested a fourteen year for a sex offense, even if I did the courts would NEVER put them on a registry.
23 for him, 15 for her at time of arrest. Back that up to some unknown earlier point in the relationship. Age of consent in Alabama is 16.
The same link you posted also states (and I do believe) is that 90% of child abusers are family members or family friends. Only about 10% are strangers. Astounding!
Creative. I like it
.... AAAAAAaaaaaannd ... That’s how it’s done!
even if I did the courts would NEVER put them on a registry.
******************
The youngest on our county registry is 18
My son, who is also L.E. for about 20 years says the same as you did, never arrested anyone under 18 for sexual abuse and doesn’t know any fellow officers who have
There’s a big mess currently related to teens exchanging “selfies” that are actually in violation of the child porn laws. I suspect that’s had a sizable impact on the stats. Either going to have to modify the laws or modify the behavior of teens. Good luck with the latter solution.
We have a 14 yr old neighbor who raped a 9 yr old girl (another neighbor) and bragged about it. That is not ‘normal’.
And sex offenders have the highest rate of recidivism, not the lowest. I cannot believe Freepers are defending sex offenders.
Pretty much the same as the murder statistics, huh?
That is only true because college kids who pee in their back yard and drunk bar flies who have buyers remorse are on the sex offender rolls.
Violent rapists on the other hand re-offend a whole damned lot.
Tell that to the lady I knkw who had a sex offender/voyeur stalker who got out of jail and was captured outside her window again.
The detective interviewed him and he admitted he was going to cut her head off and put it on the counter so she could watch him cut her hands off and burn them on her stove...then out her head in the fridge while he cooked and ate her bodyparts.
I met him when he got put of lrisonnand was trying to brak into another woman’s home....glad I captured him.
A year and a half later he moved by our little league field...strangely enough the neighbor’s behind him had motion sensor lights going off all night long after he moved in.
Imagine that poor mother’s fear after I told her about his true history....
So don’t spew stats....we ain’t talkin about some boy who 17 for 3 days and his g.f. didn’t turn 15 for anothwr week so he gotna statuatory rape charge.
The danger is real my friend.
Those cases happen a lot less than people think. My husband, lawyer, would get sex offenders in his office with stories like that. A little bit of digging and the truth came out - they were lying or there was something much more going on (not peeing on the side of the road).
Most states are quite careful of who gets put on the registry and many have a tiered system based on the crime.
Agreed, that’s not normal, that is a serious crime.
Now some people have made good points where in some cases this is a bit gray.
I think that reasonable people can get together on what is normal, reasonable and legal and what is not, and that thing that is not cannot be tolerated.
Adults need to know where to draw the line, and they need to be held accountable... bigly.
