Sex Offenders

FOXNews.com - Accused Serial Molester Arrested Nine Times - U.S. & World: "Over the years, Schwartzmiller was convicted of molestation charges at least four times, but was acquitted once and avoided prosecution on other charges. When he first came to authorities' attention, there were no Megan's Laws or three-strikes laws, and Americans were less aware of the ramifications and the severity of child sexual abuse."

Audits by Comptroller Alan Hevesi's office showed that between January 2000 and March 2005, 198 sex offenders in New York received Medicaid-reimbursed Viagra (search) after their convictions. Those included crimes against children as young as 2 years old, he said.

Chaney told a local television station that he may have cared for as many as 50 foster children since late 2001 and even adopted a child while living in New York state. The county has said Chaney cared for 23 children.
Chaney was convicted in 1989 of two counts of third-degree rape, authorities said. He told WWNY-TV in Watertown he had been convicted of having sex with a 16-year-old girl.

If you can read this trash and not become livid you have a mental disorder. What is going on when sex offenders are given little to no sentence and just keep slipping through the system unscathed? How can we let this happen? We have judges who give light to non-existent sentences and then we have cases where people are passed through the system after a fifth, seventh or fiftenth offense. I am speechless. What next?
