Murdered in the United States: Registered Sex Offenders & Others

10-29-2007 National:

Folks will be happy to know we have completed converting the stories behind every case of a registered sex offender, or a person accused of a sex offense, that have been murdered or killed in the United States, and have entered their stories in our blog and listed them on our complete list. Now, some folks have preferred our old listing while others wanted the stories, so we have decided to keep both and tie them together.

Here is how the statistics break down:

57 registered sex offenders minding their own business murdered, 24 of them in prisons and jails;

7 registered sex offenders were involved in domestic or other incidents, and were killed;

*17 people, non sex offenders, were accused of a sex offense and murdered;

9 registered sex offenders were accused of a new sex offense and were murdered;

*12 people, non sex offenders, were falsely accused of sex offenses and were murdered;

3 registered sex offenders were falsely accused of a new sex offense and were murdered;

5 innocent bystanders were murdered;

1 person was murdered when they were attacking a registered sex offender's home;

1 person in prison was falsely labeled as a sex offender and was murdered.
-------
112 persons murdered in 103 incidents

*: Explanation: 29 non sex offenders were accused of sex offenses and murdered. 12 of those cases reveal facts that they were falsely accused, the facts of the remaining 17 cases are too skimpy to conclude anything about them, we can only say they were murdered.


Note: Our listings have been divided into Murdered in the US and Murdered in Foreign Countries. Foreign Countries is the next project.

Our complete list is here and our stories blog is here. Please keep us informed of any new incidents you read about.

Thank you,

Could you please clarify the difference between:

17 people, non sex offenders, were accused of a sex offense and murdered;

12 people, non sex offenders, were falsely accused of sex offenses and were murdered;

Are you saying that the 12 are a subset of the 17, or that the 17 were correctly accused?

Cheers.
