Sex Offenders Dropped Off Under Bridge

I just read a pretty shocking storey in the BBC about sex offenders being let off under a bridge in Miami when they complete their sentences to live in tents. It´s the only place the correcional officers can find that´s not within 750 feet of anyplace where children congregate, the law in that city. One Latino, an ex U. S. Marine served time for having sex with a sixteen year old girl. My God! The other day I was talking with a sventeen year old in an outlying pueblo of Cali. She said she had started living with a man there when she was fifteen...and he was forty-seven! And that it happens all the time. I´d guess more than half the male population of any given pueblo would be livnig under a bridge if Colombia had such laws.

I'd say most would be locked up. I really never met one that never slept with a minor. It's completely acceptable behavior.

Not that it is right, but age of consent is 14 in Colombia, and the culture is geared to teach older men are more desirable and stable than men their own age.

that's what i'm saying, fred. there's abusers and locos like myself at 19 who wanted to bang the cousin at 15. there's differences and the system should re word itself to make it clear.

for those souls who rape, sodomize children.....what can you say.....there's no hope for that. but this other silly stuff is just wrong.

You are right, in Manizales some kids drugged and raped a girl at a party, and they all were from wealthy families and each got a slap on the wrist.

About six months later they were out, got drugged, and woke up with their testicles surgically removed.

Yeah younger women always look up to, admire and desire older men but I think that is normal for humans in general. The younger woman notices the maturity, masculinity, stability of the older man. I am talking a woman in her 20's finding a man, 30's or 40's attractive. I am sure teenagers are the same, but we as responsible and normal adults need to know better. Once a young girl opens her mouth to speak you can clearly see why the law protects them. I am 31 now and I don't go younger than about 25 with my dates. The level of immaturity would drive me nuts if I were dumb enough to try and date an 21 y/o even.

As far as the original post, in many states, a 16 y/o is considered statutory rape. Some states consent is 15 or 16 depending on the age of both parties involved. They guy is an idiot most likely but is still very different from being a molester or typical sex offender. Most guys like this are horny fools who need to learn self control, but its safe to assunme a girl at 16 is a woman atleast physicall. A molester on the other hand purposely finds young girls, because in their sick minds they want the underdeveloped childish looking female.

This Latino marine or other guys banging teenagers close to the age of consent = dumbfuck
The Molester / sex offender who seeks children = sick and worthy of death.

Rocco81 says on Jun 29, 2009, 10:08:

Child molesters/rapists fall within a completely different category - if only because of the premeditated aspect. Not to mention their utterly twisted minds preying on innocent children. These guys are sick and they probably deserve some kind of effective and efficient treatments. But, BESIDE any treatment you can give them, most of them unfortunately remain an active menace to children.

______________________________________________________

Yes Darloup, they are mentally ill, and you are correct most of the molesters who pray on children are never cured. Many of them never lose the urge to prey. In some cases they may abstain (through castration or estrogen injections which kill the sex drive) but even then they sometimes still touch and harm children by other means.Its almost never that molesters lose thier urge for children.

Darloup,

18 and 17 are perfectly fine ages in the us and you would not have ended up in jail. Plus the states where it is 18, they all have an allowance from 2-4 years younger on the partner.

Do a little research.

US LAWS:

The following laws are the ages for sexual consent in the United States only. The age of sexual consent is the age when the law says you can agree to have sex. This means that until you reach this age, you can not legally have sex with anyone, regardless of whether or not you or your parents consent. Sometimes the law is different if you are female or male. Some states also have different ages of consent for homosexual intercourse. As with any laws, these are subject to change. If you are younger than age 18, please check these laws in the state in which you reside.

These laws exist because some teens are not mature enough to know that their actions have consequences. The law makes sure that young people are not exploited by adults.

Statutory rape is the crime committed when an adult has sexual intercourse with someone under the legal age of sexual consent. If the crime is reported (even if your partner is your boyfriend/girlfriend), that person may be arrested, tried in a court of law and sent to jail.

i just want to set the facts straight. As I might know the laws a little better of a country that I am a citizen of.

The allowance is set forth by each state as a guideline as they know people 18-17, and other ages that are near will be having sex. And allowance can also mean in addition too, an addendum. The also call it an Age Gap Provision.

Just because someone is right about something does not mean they are being argumentative.

Rocco: We're talking about CHILD molesters here... Not "younger women" or even "teen-aged girls".

IMAO, the statutory rape law in the US are silly. Christ, I was 18 and she was a consenting 17 the very first time! And I could have ended up in jail if it had taken place in the US!

We're talking about CHILD MOLESTERS here - prepubescent children on the whole... Not about two consenting teenagers experiencing sex for the first time.

Bottom line is that some of the people that are convicted as sex offenders should not be. Of course the true pedophiles fall into their own catagory and that is the catagory that the law was originally intended for. However, it has become a catch all for a lot of thing that it should not.

For example...if I go the Mardi Gras in New Orleans and have a full bladder and step down a side ally to take a whiz, I could be convicted as a sex offender and have to register as such for the rest of my life. I don't think that was the original spirit of the law. Personally, I feel that if they have to register then they should never be released.

In my own personal history, I had an ex in a divorce that tried to smear me with this accusation. It cost me tens of thousands of dollars and I had to fight HARD to not have the false accusation made a part of my record. In the end it back fired on the ex and she had to pay all costs involved and lost any custody of her child. She also very nearly went to prison for liable.

I believe in the spirit of the law as originally enacted; however, it has become something that causes more problems than it solves. Let ten prisoners in jail on minor drug charges free and make room for the true sex offenders for life!!

Bam...thanks. All turned out great for me in the end...but the path to there was very stressful. I know of one other case of a person pissing out of a boat that nearly got him labeled as a sex offender. That is a life time label and will prevent a lot of employment posiblilties.

The people that prosecute these cases as sex offenders are doing a great disservice to the memories of the ones for whom these laws were created for in the first place.

Paid their debt to society???!!!!! What about the victims who have to spend the rest of their lives all messed up? This isn't something easily gotten over people. What do you think happens to those girls when being hit on? And in Colombia that's a lot. You think they can easily sleep at night? How do you think sex is for them afterward?

Death, simple as that.

Personally if I were in Colombia and that happened to anyone in my family, I wouldn't call the police, but send a "problem-solver" to take care of the situation.

Right Jeff and Robert.the thing is a 15 y/o might not be mature mentally but physically they are usually women and ready to reproduce. So, a few hundred years ago when people didn't live much past their 40's or lucky to make 50, then yeah having kids at 14 or 15 was expected.

So a dude who likes a 15 year old is still fucked up and should know better, but atleast the female might look like a "woman". Where as a dude that likes 8 year olds is another story...its obvious they want a child because well, he or she looks like a child and not an adult which is what makes them ill to begin with. Most normal healthy adults do not find underdeveloped sexual characteristics normal..unless they are twisted sick people.
