New Texas Bill H.B. No. 23 Would Force Sex Offenders to Identify Themselves as Pervs Online

New law to make sex offenders change their status to predatory perv …

A new bill in the Texas Legislature, H.B. No. 23, would force sex offenders to identify themselves on social networking sites. I guess the legislation will make sex offender change their status on Facebook to “PERV”. Actually, it is against Facebook terms and conditions for an individual to be a sex offender; however, there is no way tp enforce it. If the bill is passed, it would require certain sex offenders who still have Internet access privileges to put  the following information in their profile: identifying themselves as a sex offender, the type of offense and where the offense took place, as well as the offenders’ full name, date of birth, sex, race, height, weight, eye color and hair color and current address.

A new bill in the Texas Legislature would force sex offenders to identify themselves on social networking sites.

“When you become a member of Facebook, you agree to the terms and conditions, and one of the terms and conditions now is that you cannot be a sex offender, a convicted sex offender,” he said. “Now, of course, it’s not enforced and so now this is being left up to other states to make sure we have enforcement mechanisms.”

If passed, the measure would make certain sex offenders who still have Internet access privileges put specific information in their profile. The information would include identifying themselves as a sex offender, the type of offense and where the offense took place, as well as the offenders’ full name, date of birth, sex, race, height, weight, eye color and hair color. The offender’s current address or where they hope to live would also have to be included.

Look for the ACLU to state that such a bill violates the sex offenders privacy and an unfair penalty placed on an individual who has already served their criminal sentence. Of course they were completely no where to be found when law abiding gun owners had their names and addresses published.

Pennsylvania Gov. Plans to Sue the NCAA in Federal Court over Sanctions Imposed against Penn State University in Wake of Sandusky Child Molestation Case

This is a head scratching law suit that the Pennsylvania governor will lose in the battle of public opinion.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett is planning on suing the NCAA in federal court with a lawsuit in response to the sanctions levied against Penn State University in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal. Corbett is supposed to hold a press conference today to announce the law suit and how the state will file the law suit. According to reports, PSU has nothing to do with these lawsuits. The announcement will most like deal with one of the unique sanctions levied by the NCAA. One of the  penalties is the $60 million fine which has become a point of contention in Pennsylvania local politics. Politicians have argued that the money should be used to fight abuse in the state of Pennsylvania, while the NCAA had initially targeted a more national approach for the money. Really folks, this is what you are suing over whether the fines should fight sexual abuse of children in PA or across the country? Poor form folks, really bad form.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett will announce a federal lawsuit against the NCAA tied to the historic sanctions levied against Penn State in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Corbett will hold a press conference on Wednesday morning in State College, Pa., to announce the suit, which will be filed by the state.

Penn State, which has been working in concert with the NCAA since the scandal, is not involved in preparing the suit. It is being handled solely by the state.

Corbett’s office has been vague in regard to the specific aim of the suit, but it appears to be dedicated to the overall sanctions issued by the NCAA in July. Corbett referred to them on Tuesday as “illegal sanctions.”

A wholesale suit against the NCAA by a third party as powerful as the state of Pennsylvania could loom as an important case in testing the ultimate power of the NCAA.

Is this really something that the governor of Pennsylvania really wants to focus the media light on? It was such a heinous act, it just seems rather shallow that a state would only want the monies to go toward their state, rather than country wide. Shallow indeed.

Everything Not A-OK, Elmo Actor Kevin Clash Resigns from Sesame Street Amid New Sex Allegation

RUT-ROH, Where there is smoke, there is fire. Just when you thought Elmo was back and all was A-OK on Sesame Street, along comes new sex allegations with minors …

Recently Kevin Clash, the voice of Elmo of Sesame Street fame was accused of sexual relations with a minor and took a leave of absence from The Children’s Television Workshop. However, as soon as the accusation was made that Clash denied, the accuser recanted his story. Everyone thought that Elmo was safe and set to go back to work. Not so fast! Kevin Clash resigned from “Sesame Street” on Tuesday amid new allegations he sexually abused an underage boy. The latest allegation comes from 24 year old college student, Cecil Singleton, who sued Clash for more than $5 million in federal court in New York . Singleton accused the actor of engaging in sexual behavior with him when he was 15.

Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash resigned from “Sesame Street” on Tuesday amid allegations he sexually abused underage boys, bringing an end to a 28-year career in which he turned the furry red monster into one of the most beloved — and lucrative — characters on TV and in toy stores.

Personal matters have diverted attention away from the important work ‘Sesame Street’ is doing and I cannot allow it to go on any longer,” the 52-year-old performer said in a statement. “I am deeply sorry to be leaving and am looking forward to resolving these personal matters privately.”

His departure came as a 24-year-old college student, Cecil Singleton, sued Clash for more than $5 million Tuesday, accusing the actor of engaging in sexual behavior with him when he was 15. Singleton charged that Clash made a habit of trolling gay chat lines for underage boys and meeting them for sex.

From the New York Post:

Singleton claims he met Clash in 2003, through a gay telephone chat line.

The plaintiff said there was no intercourse with Clash until after he turned 18.

Before then, their intimate contact included “groping, masturbation, just a lot of intense kissing, touching, that kinda thing, dry-humping,” Singleton matter-of-factly told reporters during a Midtown press conference this afternoon.

One accuser can be explained away, especially when they recant; however, two accusers becomes a trend and sadly there may be more to come. I must admit I was a bit suspect when Clash took a leave of absence so quickly from Sesame Street when the first allegation was made. Something did not smell right. For something that he was so adamant about denying, the leave of absence was announced far too quickly. A co-worker discussed this story with me and said the underage sex story was recanted and asked if  I was too quick to condemn the puppeteer. My response was, this is most likely not the end of this story. I would not be at all be surprised if more accusers came out of the woodwork. Not to the extent of Jerry Sandusky, but these kind of stories get legs once one person makes their sexual abuse known. And guess what happened?

“The commitment of the task force of investigators in this case will not waver,” said James Yacone, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Denver office. “Our commitment and resolve to seek justice on behalf of Jessica will only grow stronger.”

America, it’s time to get JUSTICE FOR JESSICA. The Westminster, CO area has a murderous child predator in its midst. Please be vigilant of those around you. The FBI Releases Behavioral Profile of Possible Suspect.

The suspect is likely male and might have recently missed work or suddenly left town, according to the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit. The suspect might have already changed his appearance and gotten rid of his car.

“It could be your boss, it could be your friend and, ultimately, it could be your family member,” FBI spokesman David Joly said.

The FBI is asking for the public’s help locating the suspect, who might have been a “no show” and missed work immediately after the incident and offered a plausible excuse such as illness.

Last year, police released a sketch of a man believed to have been involved in two attempted abductions near the location where Jessica’s  body was found . Credits:  (9 News/Arvada Colo. Police)

This animal will eventually be found. When he is, what are the odds that he had a previous sexual predator past?

Is there a connection> It’s hard to believe there is not.
