AL- State Representative Calls for Sex Offender Law Change

5-27-2009 Alabama:

One state representative is calling for a change in how Alabama handles sex offender cases.

Last week, Governor Bob Riley signed two new measures into law. One concerns child predators, the other calls for a valid address for sex offenders.

Representative Patricia Todd says she supports measures that crack down on predators, but adds the laws include some offenses that can hardly be considered predatory.

“For example, I have two constituents who were arrested for having sex in a public place and they're now classified as sex offenders. I think the state needs to have a task force to really look at what our current sex offender laws are and maybe have two classifications of sex offenders,” Todd said. ..News Source.. by CBS 42 News
