In cases like these of offenders recently released and who re-offend, this article is missing important information. While in prison did this man receive any form of therapy? The article fails to investigate because recidivism sells papers.4-23-2010 Delaware:
Consider this: In the California case of John Gardner -after he re-offended- we find that there was information in his background which showed he was a violent offender and the state knew about it and still released him.
In this Delaware case we do not know if the State provided any sex offender therapy which may have prevented him from re-offending after release. Signing a paper is not sex offender therapy, and the State does have a duty to public safety to do all it can to prevent recidivism; therapy may have been an option, if it was made available.
As politicians say, anything to save one child. Was therapy available?
A registered sex offender released from prison last month was arrested Wednesday on child pornography offenses.
New Castle County police charged _____, 34, of the first block of Castle Run Drive in Bear, with 10 counts of dealing in child pornography.
He is being held in the Young Correctional Institution after failing to post $100,000 secured bail.
According to court records, last month ____ signed a sex offender special condition form agreeing to have his computer examined by probation and parole officers.
A check of the computer’s hard drive revealed a video of a girl engaged in a sexual act with an adult, police said in court records.
Further examination revealed 10 files on the hard drive displaying children engaged in prohibited sexual acts.
Court records said ____ confessed to downloading child pornography on the computer’s hard drive and attempting to delete the images after he viewed them.
____ was convicted in February 2009 of fourth-degree rape of a victim between the ages of 16-17 years old, according to the Delaware Sex Offender Central Registry. ..Source.. TERRI SANGINITI • The News Journal
