CFC OKLAHOMA

Mary and her friend went to Oklahoma City to speak with Gus Blackwell, Lucky Lamons and John Auffett regarding Romeo and Juliet laws and the registry. As Mary (the mother of Ricky, see http://www.rickyslife.com/), related to me, Gus Blackwell kept saying, "The predators are hiding in the registry." And Mary's reply was, "Gus, who's fault is that, you make the laws."

Unfortunately, these laws "endanger children and society" and protect no one.

The following is one quote in an Article published by the Tulsa World entitles New Sex Offender Law Faces Opposition."

''Most people who know anything about this are frustrated. It is just not helpful -- the laws as they are now,'' said Randy Lopp, treatment subcommittee chairman of the Oklahoma Sex Offender Management Team.

''I think if the general public understood the research, they would be willing to back the legislators to change the laws to make more sense and to protect children, because the laws as they are written are not protecting children," he said. "They are doing more harm than good.''

 

"78 percent of the sex offenders fall in Level Three, 3 percent in Level Two and 19 percent in Level One.

Based on those numbers, Tulsa Police Sgt. Gary Stansill, who has spent more than 20 years investigating sex crimes in Tulsa, said he believes that the Oklahoma law is too broad.

Under the law, he said, an 18-year-old who is convicted of statutory rape for having sex with a 15-year-old and someone who is convicted of groping an officer during an undercover sting would both be registered sex offenders for life.

''The least number of people should be in the worst tier, but the most number of people are going to be in the worst tier under the new law,'' Stansill said.

Now we know why the "predators are hiding on the registry. There are non-aggravated, non habitual 20 year old cases listed on the registry's Tier III, as well as teen consensual sex cases.
