Should child sex offenders be allowed to earn good time credits? State legislators are considering 30 different bills to strenghten sex offender laws, and we want to know what you think. Sound off below.

I haven't heard of this. What do these credits earn them?

Time out early from there sentence

From what I have learned and researched, rehab doesn't help sex offenders and they just keep doing it.

Now I could see if maybe the guy was 18 and the girl was 16 and dating for a long time and the girl got made and pressed charges because they had a fight....type of thing.

I don't know enough about this proposal though. Is there monitoring if released early? are there conditions with it?

Sorry....this is the first time I've heard of this and not sure how I feel about it

I'll sit back and watch for now

Of course sex offenders need to have good time if other prisoners get good time for being good in the prison.

If you think they get out to fast go to your state house and demand the add more time to the sentence . but you are wrong about sex offenders repeating most don't . only on tv do they all repeat .

in an effort to be fair, they should have the same rights as other prisoners....mind you i'd rather see them castrated or or some such painful thing, but thats the side of me that is a child molestation survivor...i have thought up some rather cruel methods of punishment for them so it's a good thing im not a judge lol

It would depend on the offense, in my opinion. the title of sex offender , even child sex offender, comes under such a BROAD umbrella that many people with the label probably shouldnt really be incarcerated in the first place let alone stigmatized their whole lives.


As yellowrose pointed out,, someone could be 18 and with a 15 year old and potentially become labeled the rest of their lives. I think for VIOLENT type, nonconsentual , offenders there should be STRICT psychological evaluation before any THOUGHT of release.

IMO sex offenses have become the new salem witch trials, seem to be alot of cases going on where the offender isn't guilty of anything, the kid was just ticked off about something.

Is this the kind of guy you are talking about? He should be eligible to get out of jail early for good behavior?



Prosecutors expect to add more counts to a lengthy indictment against a Delaware pediatrician charged with serial molestation of 103 children as investigators urge former patients and parents to come forward.

A grand jury returned a 160-page indictment Monday against Dr. Earl Bradley of Lewes with 471 counts of sexual crimes.

The case has shocked the close-knit coastal community of Lewes and the central Delaware town of Milford, where Bradley closed an office in 2005 after police investigated him.

I don't think I would want this guy out early for good behavior

Apparently, some people want blanket administration of the rules.

He should be burned and buried alive

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This goes back to what I just said . If you want the punishment increased demand you elcted leaders do what we want for a change . sitting and grumbleing doesn't change any thing . This site and all the other sites like this is a great place to start a grass roots campain to make the punishment fit the crimes .

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I can agree with everything you say here except your 2 paragraft . If its ok for anyone to have sex with the kids then why would any age be different . you got a problem with wrinkels .

Its different because of the fact that AGE is the issue when legally defining who is a kid. I think its much broader than a biological number and actual maturity and experience should be considered instead of just age. An 18 year old male and a 15 year old girl might actually be more compatible than two 15 year olds,,and they are much more likely to have similar life experience, than a 30 year old and 15 year old. Laws shouldnt be strictly defined by a biological age,, in my opinion.

In a way, I agree.

But...most child sex offenders just get out and do it again.

I really don't see it . How could an educated person such as your self say It's ok for a juvnile to have sex with a 18 year old but not a 100 year old . It's the same crime . I mean if the kid was 5 years old and the sex offender was 10 . It's still a crime . And I use this example because it happened . The law has to be a line in the sand before it works . when one person sees a guy having sex with a 15 year old and people are saying what a shame it shouldn't be a crime the boy is so cute . well what are you going to say when it's a ugly guy . KIll him he shouldn't be allowed to live . the line between right and wrong should be a very bright one so that we know they did it with fore thought .

yep and usually kill their victim so they can't tell,next time
