WA- SEX OFFENDER HOMELESS IN SHELTON

This makes no sense, there are no known set of facts that prove a person is a specific risk level, much less any risk, and now because this man is homeless they assess him the highest risk possible. Effectively this is criminalizing him for his social status!

6-2-2009 Washington:

A sex offender has recently become homeless in the Shelton area and the Mason County Sheriff's Office has raised his assessment. James Cloral Petty, nearly 26, is required to register as a sex offender due pleading guilty in a military court marshall to a charge equivalent to Rape of a Child 3rd Degree.

The conviction stems from PETTY at age 21, having sexual intercourse with a 15-year-old girl. He was also convicted of a charge equal to Violation of a No Contact Order. The Mason County Sheriff's Office has assessed Petty as a Level 2 Sex Offender, meaning he is at a moderate risk to re-offend.

However, now that Petty is homeless, his assessment has been raised to Level 3, the highest level and he is now considered at a high risk to re-offend. James Cloral Petty is a white male, five-foot-ten, 190 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

James Petty has given his address in Mason County as "Transient/Homeless within Shelton". All homeless sex offenders must check in with the Sheriff's Office every Monday. ..Source.. by Dedrick Allan

Well, that should tell you something, that homeless offenders are more of a risk, and yet in Florida, they continue to push people under the Julia Tuttle Bridge. Makes no sense...
