Tennessee Sex Offender Registry Gets Tougher, Requires Emails & User IDs

this is a good thing for that individual,but what happens when the marriage turns sour,and the wife ,and her family tries to use the past against the offender.trust me it is not pretty.i speak from experience.come to find out my ex-wifes baby brother was convicted of molesting a 2 year old girl,and sent to juvinille prison.but the catch is they tried to use against my circumstance,and extort everything they could get out of me.telling me i was a sick f_cker for sleeping with a teenage girl,and the baby brother tried to tell me he was going to try and get me put in jail by using another peoples children which i had never touched.this is good when people can go on with their lives ,but what happens when people try to use it against people on the offenders list.some people deserve it,but most people dont.until the laws are changed the conterversety goes on every day.

Most of the people on this registry dont deserve what they get because of it? What a load of crap!!! What about the people they did the crime to? Did they deserve it? Most of the people on the sex offender registry have done this stuff to kids. They deserve everything they get and more!!

So I guess everybody should feel sorry for you?

Dear Chester from NJ: Thanks for making my point. You just used every rationalization and non-sequitor justification I have ever heard from your kind for your crime. It just proves you STILL don't think you did anything wrong, and would do it AGAIN in a "New Jersey" minute if you thought you could get away with it.

lets face reality i feel the burden also i have a daughter who was sexually abuse by a man i married and he is is prison where he belongs, as he was 32 and she was 12. But i also met a man who is the best man you could ever ask for who was charged with sexual battery for making out with a women who was actullay older than him he had just turned 18 and she was 21. they never even had sex and now because of the state we live in he has to reg. as a sex offender for life for a charge that is over 11 years old. i completely agree that sex offenders who committ crime should be punished but i do not agree that they should all be punished the same way the law does not prtect people the protect what they want to. anyone can be charged with a sex offense crime now adays so evryone should be carefull because you may just be that person and you could really be inocent.

I KNOW WHAT U FEEL IS GOING THROUGH I TOO WAS CAUGHT UP IN AN OLD LAW IN GA. WHERE IT IS ILLEGAL TO HAVE ANY CONTACT WHAT SO EVER IF YOU WERE NOT MARRIED TO THAT PERSON I WAS ALSO CHARGED WITH SEXUAL BATTERY AND BEEING A TRUCK DRIVER ANY SEX CHARGE OF ANY KIND IS ON A NEVER HIRE LIST FOR EVER. A FEW YEARS AGO IN N. CAROLINA THEY CHARGED A 6 YR. OLD WITH SEXUAL BATTERY FOR KISSING A GIRL IN SCHOOL IN SOME CASES THEY CARRY THINGS TO FAR AND IN SOME CASES THEY DON'T GO FAR ENOUGH/ AND BY THE WAY THE LADY IN MY CASE WAS OVER 21 AND BECAUSE I WOULD NOT GIVE FREE MECHANIC WORK I'M STILL PAYING THE PRICE

Yhey should all be treated like the animals they are.

Who, at 23, should be in a club picking up fifteen year-olds? Where was HIS mother, and what does yours think about you marrying a child molester? I hope you've escaped from Tennessee by the time you read this, and taken him with you!

Please by all means get out and take the child molester with you. We have enough of them as it is. Statutory rape is a nicer way of saying that he molested a kid. Never mind where the girl's mom was at when it happened. He did it nobody held a gun to his head. The state of Tennessee is not responsible for his stupidity. Bye and good riddance!!!

i feel the burdon u share a similar incedent happen to me in another state ,and i have been trying to prove that i am not a child molester or a baby raper.because when the people of america look at this site thats all the see.a teenage girl can hollor this stuff ,and just like the salem witch trials a person is put threw hell ,and back ,and discrimunated against for 10 to 25 years.just like adulf hitler did with the jews.these laws are injustified is like telling a black person they are not to be around white people or like this list we are treated like animals,and put out there to be prosecuted over,and over,again,and again.no one should ever have to live this hell ever.when injust laws to so called protect children are past in a treasonal offensive jesture.there are alot more sex crimes in america than thus.I will state thus on my first amendment wright.if you are sick enough to molest a child or rape a baby u belong behind bars.just like murders a viliolent offend in america.same just differrent circustances.

Nobody feels sorry for you. You created the situation you are in.

if i want pitty i would ask for it but i dont want none from anyone.just a little reminder that this can happen to anyone,and anywhere.anotherthing if i created the sittuation that im in than i deserve it.but since i never created any situations then you have nothing to say.keep your own two-sense to yourself.nobody wants to here it from a self-endelg self-ritechous person that feels they have done no wrong in life.further more you could end up just like me one day trying to fight for everything in your life to turn around, and then tell me about your pitty.cause it can happen to you.teenagers should not try to act as adults in thus adult world.

Next time you're in jail for child sex, try to get that GED and learn to spell.

Ok I guess I see your point. It was kinda hard to read that mess but I think I got what you were saying. First of all I know I have done wrong in my life everybody has. Second I know I will not end up like you because I have enough sense to get to know somebody before I jump in bed with them. Are you an adult? Did you decide to sleep with this girl or guy? If you answered yes to both of these questions then you created the situation you are in and you deserve every bit of it.

I AGREE WITH 'SOME OF WHAT YOU SAY, BUT NOT ALL. #1, A SEX OFFENDER CHANGES A WOMAN'S/MAN'S LIFE FOREVER. YOUR THOUGHTS OF PEOPLE AND PLACES ARE DIFFERENT. YOUR SUSPICIONS ARE IN OVERDRIVE. "FLASHBACKS" ARE A REALITY, NOT A DRUNKEN MEMORY. YOU SECLUDE YOURSELF FROM PEOPLE AROUND YOU... YOU WONDER IF YOU ARE CRAZY, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT TRIGGERED YOUR MADNESS AND IT PLAYS IN YOUR HEAD ON A REGULAR BASIS. I AGREE DRUNK DRIVING IS A PROBLEM... NO DOUBT IT IMPACTS OTHERS LIVES. BUT TO SAY THAT THEY DO MORE HARM THAN SEX OFFENDERS? THIS IS AN INSENSITIVE COMMENT ONLY A MAN WOULD MAKE, EITHER BECAUSE HE HAS NEVER KNOWN SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN SEXUALLY ABUSED, NOR BEEN SEXUALLY ABUSED HIMSELF. SEXUAL PREDATORS (THE REAL DEAL, NOT A TEEN OR VERY YOUNG MAN WHO HAS MADE A BAD DECISION DURING HIS HORMONAL YEARS...)PRODUCE MORE SEXUAL OFFENDERS. (ITS A CYCLE. PREDATOR OFFENDS A YOUNG BOY; YOUNG BOY GROWS UP & GROWS OLD... OLDER VICTIM (WELL, NOT ALWAYS OLDER) REPEATS THE BEHAVIOR BECAUSE THIS IS HOW HE WAS TAUGHT TO SHOW LOVE.)
I DO AGREE WE NEED A REFORM ON THE LAWS THAT KEEPS AN EYE ON YOUNG "OFFENDERS" AND PUTS THE REAL MONSTERS AWAY OR ON THE "BUTCHER BLOCK" FOREVER.

.... OR THEY COULD JUST LEAVE IT UP TO THE PARENTS TO DECIDE THEIR FATE...LIKE THEY HAVE FOR SO LONG NOW... AND JUST GRANT THEM IMMUNITY TO ANY LEGAL REPROCUSION, IF THEY HAVE SOLID PROOF THEIR CHILD WAS ABUSED BY THAT PARTICULAR PERSON.

THIS IS ME, THINKING OUT OF THE BOX.

You had better believe if somebody does that to one of my kids or my niece or nephew I would pull the trigger. Even if it was a member of my family that did it. A scumbag is a scumbag and bullets are cheap.

IF THE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE RIGHT... THEN YES... I WOULD PULL THE TRIGGER. FOR YOUR SITUATION, I THINK YOU GOT THE SHAFT. THIS IS PART OF THE REFORM WE NEED FOR THESE LAWS. WHEN I WAS A TEEN (FEMALE) I PREFFERRED THE COMPANY OF OLDER MEN (EX: I WAS 14, HE WAS 19-22). I WOULD HAVE NEVER TOLD OR PROSECUTED ANYONE FOR THIS BEHAVIOR. NOW IF A 40- 50 YR OLD MAN WAS SEEING MY 13 YR OLD DAUGHTER, I WOULD INDEED PUT A NOOSE AROUND HIS NECK & CARVE "PEDOPHILE IN HIS FOREHEAD... (WITH POSITIVE PROOF OF COURSE.)

That website needs to be taken down.

they can't waite till every disable w/s,o kills themself cause their writes are so hard its in possable to live at all in"free america" singed,HOTWHEELZ CLARKSVILLE TN,.

WHAT??????? Nobody can understand your rambling.

to this comment about sex offender laws i agree to a point if are guilty of rapping or molesting babies,and small children then u deserve to be in prision.but what about these teenagers who lie about their ages at private parties bars,extra.then they the young adults are conflicting laws of the adult world,and the adults are paying the piper for the actions of what the young adult led out to do by being earisponsible,and vage.do u really think by these acttions the adult is to blame.because all it takes is just once ,and the adult is put threw hell,and back with the adults life destroyed.when after all it was a young adult trying to be what they are not wich is adults.how justifyable is that.there is no justfycation in these acttion the take place in these kinds of matters.if these sexual predatures are sick enough in the head to rape ,molest or both they deserve to be in a cage or prison.violent offenders are alot differrent than most cases of just a sex offender from being with a young adult.try to justify that

The comment kill them all.............

Well you must not have anyone close to you that you love that is on this registry list, that is innocent, and the agony they go thru day to day. I can see a registry for ones that are found guilty and still stay in trouble, but remember some are really innocent people. If they want to make the laws tougher for sex then make it tougher for killing someone, drugs, drinking, the list can go on an on.

Hey, guess what? If they're CONVICTED and on the list, they're NOT "innocent". Try again later there, barry!

WOW, I can't believe anyone can be so stupid as to really believe the just because some one is convicted of a crime they are "NOT Innocent". Try reading the papers Coppo the Clown (very appropriate name by the way) beyond the comics, you may just learn some thing.

If you were convicted you are NOT innocent you moron!!! Maybe you should read the paper and spend less time touching kids.

These people are on the sexual offender for a reason. And that reason is that they committed a crime of a sexual nature. And people that commit these disgusting crimes against children should be EXECUTED no questions asked!!! I have young children and I am scared to let them play outside because of these perverts. And it is not being paranoid either these people are everywhere. Just go on the TBI website and look at the registry. I have one that lives 1.5 miles from me that was convicted of child molestation in 1988. I see him drive by every day. And I will tell you this if I ever saw him around my little girl or my son hell would come down upon him. I dont think the laws are tough enough on them. If their name is on that registry for any reason they are NOT innocent! They did something wrong to get on there.

Amen brother!!!

It is a shame people have to worry about letting their children out of sight because of fear that some pervert may snatch them up. The laws are nowhere tough enough on these low lifes. They should have to report to some one weekly and have to have a sign in front of their home telling people that a sex offender lives there. And to all of these idiots on here crying about the "mistake" they made when they slept with someone that was underage no body feels sorry for your situation. So quit crying and live with what you did you should be on the registry just like all the other perverts.

so i guess you beleive that everyones a satiscit to.look in the mirror then because if everone is a statictic to than what.at this point just about everyone in america will be on that list or another list in about a min. of 5 years. if these actuall child molestures are not put behind bars to protect the people and children of america than what.

I will kill any man who touches my girls. BECAUSE the law has been draggin @$$ on this too long now... I'd make sure I had solid evidence of it happenning, of course, for my defense... But in a land with no law, the people will make their own. Enough people do it, and maybe SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE will decide to put these people away FOR GOOD... For their own safety.... LOL
Lord knows the government don't give a flip about our kids....

your right!so every citizen in america becomes a judge,and the jury of these cases.people that take the law into their own hands is no differrent than our government.hell we are over seas fighting someone elses war.meanwhile our economy is falling do to the high cost of gov. spending,and our prisons that are everywhere.meanwhile people who take justice into their own hands are conflicting with the justice system.next we might as well say that you can hang a negro from a tree again.in the meantime millions of dollars are being wasted from taxes to promote fear into the hearts of americans.its right you dont have to worry about the ones on the lists.now its your childrens teachers,or other family friends.hell it could even be your childrens doctor.you get the point.people say its all the first timers you have to worry about.then why is it that most of the repeated offenders are walking the streets.hell at one point they tried a list like this for all the queers,and lesbians too.my point is if these animals are violent enough than why arent they in prison for the set duration of their lives.

I believe you are trying to say everyone is a statistic. No that is not true, not everyone is going to molest a child or rape someone. And not everyone is going to sleep with someone who is underage. It is obvious that you are an idiot. Every post you have put on here takes 10 minutes to read because you can not even produce a rational thought. It is nobody's fault but your own that you are on that registry. And you are on there because you deserve to be. I have said it once I will say it again you will not earn anybody's sympathy by posting on here.

sorry that your pothtic life of existance has you to believe that you are not a statiscit.but the truth be know all you have to do is pee in public ,and it is considered a sex crime.ya know i get a kick out of people like you blabbering about this ,and that.first i dont want any sypathy,or pitty.im just trying to make you aware of the fact of this law makes everyone a statiscit in todays society.just even holding someone elses kid make you a molesture.hell if im a idiot what the hell does that make you.shurely a moron for thinking fear is the way of the american publics way of life.the only true way is to weed out the violent predatures,and small child molestures for the most parts.believe what you will,that the freewill we were given at birth.just like the discimination of thousands who look at a list,and only see one thing.there cannot be two only one kind,and sorry for your luck im not a molesture.in less words keep you dam teenagers under contol.in alot of states they are now calling it neglect,and the parents are being charged.

I hope you are just trying to be funny with the way you are writing your incoherent ramblings on here. If you are not it is just SAD!! PREDATOR not PREDATURE. MOLESTER not MOLESTURE. Maybe you can not help it and people really shold not correct you because trying to read your rants is HILARIOUS!!

thaks for the human dictionary for the correction of my grammar.public awarness is a key factor in alot of todays world.no im not trying to be funny about my rambling on about this law.you can spank your child ,and it is now considered neglect,maybe the gov.will start a list for child abusers just like sex-offenders and meth dealer,or meth users.yep from sex-offender registries to meth registries.next to child abuse,and neglect of a child.laugh while you still have time.but it will happen oneday because what the hell sex-offenders,and meth-heads,why not child neglect,and child abuse.its only begun,and the public help lable each list one by one.once again im not a child molsture nor a baby-rapists.call it what you will,but statutory-rape is not a funny law at all.remember death is not a punishment,but a release of burdon from life.stero types out there remember that when you want to kill someone for something you havent research,and just want to point fingers,and waste time ,and tax payers dollars.it is now considered the cry wolf syndrom.believe what you want,call people what you feel.this epicdemic is real.so think its funny all you want.when you least expect it will find its way into your life to destroy the goodness of everything you faught for.not people but the laws of the goverments political debunes.

You are right for once. I believe that they should make it known who beats and neglects their kids. I for one am not one of those people. I work my ass off so my kids will have a better life growing up than I did. But statutory rape is just another way of saying you are a CHILD MOLESTER! And if you think about it that kid you slept with was somebody's baby. So what does that make you? A BABY RAPIST!! You are responsible for what you did and blaming it on the laws not being fair does not help your case. You are the very same as all these scumbags that molest small children and you deserve everything that goes along with it.

to your wordings of baby raper,their is a big differrence than a small baby,child ,and a teenager who pretends to be a adult.so im someones babay does that make that girl a baby rapist to.im glad to see alot of people out there working their butts off to suport their children.unfortunetly ive never been giving the chance of my own.not because of my situation.you can think im a monster all ya want.but if you ever listen to my family ,and friends they would tell ya differrent.instead of going back to jail i would rather work a 100 hours a week to support myself due to my poor lack of judgement.thats right its nobodies fault but,my own.i dont blame others for what happen with satutary rape charges.i should of been more wiser.but i was not.that only leaves me to blame.hell colleg. was suppose to be the best part of life.learning,parties,and alot of differrent people.hell if i could turn back time i would,but i cant.so i live with it.even my bosses know im on that list,and yes since i did not lie to them they understood.i do feel for all those people who have to worry about their children with alot of the violent sexual predatures hiding in this list.but how many really belong there.did that 4 year old ,and 6 year old really deserve it.did these teens with younger girlfriends deserve it.that is only up to the public of america to answer.did that 12 year old,and 13 year old soon to be on it after the two of them haveing sex to be on the list decide america because it might be your children one day.say no all you want.do the research,and find out the facts about the laws we are governd by.

Yeah you are right. None of us know how our kids are going to turn out. All we can do is raise them to do the right thing and go from the mistakes we have made in life and try to send our kids down the right path so they wont make the same mistakes. But as adults we have to be held accountable for the things we do. We can not blame it on being young and stupid. When a person turns 18 years old they are by law considered an adult. If that person screws up and sleeps with someone under 18 that is a crime. The person they had sex with is a child. They deserve to be on the registry. It is not saying that they are a monster or that people should be afraid of them being around their young children. The registry just shows that these people have committed a sex crime. The people who are on the registry for statutory rape are on there because they did something sexually with someone under the age of 18. The people who are on there for rape or molestation of a child the BABY RAPISTS as people are calling them on here are on there because they are the real monsters. These people should not even be breathing. They should have been tried,convicted,and put to death. Yeah I said it so all of you who have done something like this to a young child and are saying it was just poor judgement or a terrible mistake need to just be glad people like me do not make the laws or you all would be six feet under.

i agree with you on the baby rapist,and small child molsters,and rapist.but what happens when a person lies about their age,shows a fake id,and prettends to be over the age of 18.you know some of these younger adults,or teenagers are capable of doing that.so what do you think should be their punishment.i agree with the registry for really bad monsters,such as the rapist,baby rapers,small child molesters.yes i do agree with that.the crusade has to change a little if the real monsters are going to keep repeating their crimes.its been a good thing to read your postings cause they are very helpfull in seeing a parents point of view.I know if i ever had kids one day,and a rapist,small child molester,or baby raper ever touch them i would be in prison the rest of my living days.i get that point.we all do things in our teenage days ,but now a days things are alot differrent.if two minor teenagers have sex they can both be put on the registry.yes nobody is perfect!!even if you grab a gal now you can be placed on the registry because thats what the law is calling pro-acting moletation.sorry if i did not spell that right.ive done alot of research on this and it is good to protect only the ones that really need it.but what about those that go out as teenagers,and purpasely lie about their age,or show fake id's,and get no punishment for their actions.thats the only point i dont get.so please someone enliten me.i might be a little slow in the head but im only human.

People have to use better judgement. I can talk to a teen ager for 5 minutes and know they are underage. No matter if they were to have fake IDs or if they just lie about their age. Teenagers do not have the maturity that some one who is older and it becomes apparent that is true after talking to them for just a few minutes. People who get caught for statutory rape did not use their better judgement. They just saw the opportunity to jump into bed with somebody and they did it. That is why they belong on the registry. It is a crime whether you say you were lied to, tricked or whatever. You still committed the crime of sleeping with someone who was underage. And no the kid involved probably will not get into any trouble because when it comes down to it they were a victim of the crime you committed. It may not be entirely fair but that is the consequence of your actions and it is something you will have to deal with.

Sorry, gotta chime in on this one. Statutory rape is nothing more than one person above the age of 18 having sex with one who is below the age of 18. When I was 18 I had a 16 year old girl friend. She and I had sex. She wanted to, I wanted to, so we did. Had she said stop, I would have stopped. She didn't. So, by your antiquated definition, I am a child molestor. I think you may want to reconsider. I suspect there are many such as me out there.

Any person under the age of 18 is considered a kid. so when you were 18 years old and had sex with your 16 year old girlfriend you committed a crime. When I was 19 I had a 16 year old girlfriend. And as bad as I wanted to I would not touch her. You know why? Because I knew that if I did and things went bad between me and her I was not willing to get locked up because of her. So seeing that I was in almost the exact same situation you were in I have to say no I dont think I need to reconsider anything I have said. Like I said earlier anyone below the age of 18 is considered a kid right? You were 18 and had sex with a 16 year old right? You were an adult who had sex with a kid. I think that may qualify you to be called a child molester.
