Hundreds of sex offenders get their names taken off the sex offender registry every year in Colorado

• The “sex offender” label applies to:
• violent rape
• child molestation
• but equally to:
• public urination
• sexting
• mooning
• streaking
• downloading suggestive or abusive images of those purported to be under the legal age
• sex with underage partner – Romeo & Juliet scenarios where one of the partners aged into an illegal situation.
• those manipulated by law enforcement personnel in entrapment-like bait-and-switch sting operations
• False accusations of rape or abuse
• Those who were lied to by underage female partners (note: this is not a legal defense in most states)
Or is the loophole the manner in which this particular guy finagled the law?
I don't think this story makes the details clear enough. Obviously this particular example is really, really bad. But I don't think the lawmakers were complete idiots who set out to allow any sex offender who so desired to get their names off the registry - especially not offenders like this guy. What did they actually intend for this law to pertain to?
If the video gave us the information we needed then we could decide that they should (A) completely abolish the law or (B) fix the law so it works as intended.
However, this report is built on the presumption that everyone should be on the register for life, which in itself is an issue of contention.
In this particular case, given the age of the perpetrator at the time, and the age of the victim at the time, you would grade this in a higher category. The mistake in the system is that he should have been offered any deal for pleading to a lesser offence of 'attempted', but it's difficult to be specific without knowing the full details of the case and exactly what evidence was available.
The responsibility lies squarely with the prosecutors in doing the deal they did.
IF the person did indeed commit r4pe of someone underage, I find it very strange that this could be reduced to an 'attempted' offence. You would usually expect any reduction to be to s3xual assault, i.e. a complete offence, not an attempted offence. But then that's the American judicial system for you. It often doesn't make sense.
He is moving on with his life, while the woman is continuing to be a victim. My mother was molested as a child, and she uses it as an excuse for abandoning me and my siblings. I've been abused and I know the effects it had on me, but I do not call myself a victim.
I show deep respect for this guy for fighting the system.

Maybe if they had done their job we wouldn’t have this problem. Maybe if the DA stopped sucking on the tit of the all mighty “plea deal” and actual pursued the crime he was charged with, he wouldn’t be eligible to have his name removed from the list in the first place.
I have a friend; when she was in her 20’s she got arrested for shagging her boyfriend in a public park late at night. No children present. She is now a “sex criminal”, but her name doesn’t deserve to be on the same list as this guy. It doesn’t deserve to be on any list.
What the hell do you think kids do at “make out point”? Just make out? Get real.
Is the registry part of a punishment? Or is it a tool intended to help the public stay safe?
Sex offenders have lowest rate of recidivism of all criminal types. We have to ask ourselves; if we are trying to correct the offender’s behaviour or are we trying to punish them, for life?
Are they likely to offend again? If the answer is a, “No”, then we need to give people a way off the registry.
For if we do not give people a path to a full rehabilitation, a path to become full productive member of society, why would they ever attempt the journey?
For what it’s worth:
Punitive action categorically cannot prevent crime. As it can only be applied to criminals after of the crime has been committed.
Moreover; you can’t teach empathy with a stick. ....وسعت 1
