It absolutly DISCUSTS me that this thing is being let back out. I know people can not be soley judged on their lowest actions but I feel that in situations like this that rule does not apply. Just think of the family of his vicitims...shame on our justice system!

I agree gabby and mom2marial - high school sex and parents turning in the boy is a completely different situation. When it involves a young child the punishment should be as harsh as possible - and permanent. I have a nine year old girl and I can't imagine what that poor child went through, and is probably still going through......and her family, and her friends. How sick can a man possibly be - he does not deserve to see the light of day. My heart goes out to the victim and her family, knowing that he is back on the streets. What an injustice, after 10 years they have to live in fear again. Lock him up and throw away the key. He had to spend 10 short years locked up - the victims have to live with it forever. Unfair.

Not all sex offenders raped little children...some are 18 year olds who had a relationship with a 16-17 year old and the parents get mad and turn them in. So for the rest of that 18 year olds life they are labeled. Or at least 20 years. It is horrible. This man doesn't deserve to be out. He messed that little girls life up forever and her friends. She would be around 19 now I wonder how she feels about him being released??? Anyone wonder about that??? I would be scared and going crazy! That poor girl!

This website will email you when a sex offender moves into your area.

You'd be surprised how many of these scumbags live near schools, the library and YOU.

mom2marlal: I agree with you!

ashlee 1099 and sarah b, idont think this is the soccer mom, who is the better provider site, this is a discussion what people think about releasing this man back into society.

One of my husband's co-workers had the monitoring bracelet for awhile and he could go to work for up to 10 hours a day and then if he went more than 100 feet away from the box installed in his house an alarm would go off. He couldn't even go to his garage.

I agree that certain sex offenders should have stricter guidelines and more monitoring. But the system is flawed in many ways. If a 18 year old boy has sex with a 16 year old girl that 18 year old is flagged as a sex offender. Not saying that I am agree with 18 yr olds and 16 yr olds having sex, but I don't think that the 18 yr old boy should be treated the same as a man who molested a 9 yr old child.

My ex was given an ankle bracelet to wear with a GPS monitoring device after a DUI/OWI. If it still works this way...there was a device that was placed in his front window and he was required to wear the bracelet at all times. He was allowed to work and go to his parents home (since they were his ride to and from work)- those coordinates were logged into the machine and if, at any time, he wandered out of those coordinates, the RC sheriffs department would have been notified. I believe that this is the basic unit and not sure if it's still the same one the county uses or not. I say put a cage around his home and he can be let out with approval and a key..used from the outside, not inside.

hubbys idea of putting all sex offenders on a derserted island somewhere and let them have at it. no way off the island.

The point is, everyone will have to deal with this regardless of the feelings that you have toward this freak. I think we can all agree, none of us have support for registered sex offenders, and all of us believe that he shouldn't be out yet.

I don't have a lot of rage or anything but I do not think that sex offenders should be given such light guidelines. My children went on field trips and one of the parents was a registered sex offender and guess what happened? No background check was done before the teachers gave the ok and they went on the trip. Sex offenders and molesters are not up standing citizens, they have the title and a record and they are in the system for a reason. I did not mean to sound so hurtful, but what would you do if your child was in school and went on a field trip and then you came to find out that the person chaperoning was a registered sex offender? I have no kindness towards sex offenders, none! As for Sarah B. I do not think that your comments were abrupt or anything but I do think I am a great provider and I make darn sure that all the kids in my care are very very well cared for. I am sorry thta you feel that I would not be a suitable provider for your family, but I would protect each and every child as if they are my very own. Thank you for the commments, but if I am to be honest, isn't casterating them just as much pain? I meerly said that the melon baller and guaze was an idea. These persons who are sex offenders do not deserve to be handed kindness, they lost that when they offended. Just my two cents.

She seems to have given a lot of thought to it. I hope that it is just posturing, but I share your concern. Scary stuff.

Ashlea 1099: Good grief! I am in no way defending sex offenders or anyone else who harms a child, but ... your comments seem so filled with anger that I would never put my child in your care. I apologize for my abruptness here, but I really don't know what else to say.

Like I said, it's the ones we don't know about that we should be most concerned about.
In other words, a good defense is better than a good offense.

you would be surprised at how many of these people live in your neighborhood. goto wisconsin sex offender registry to see who lives in your neighborhood.

Give this monster a few days on the outside and he will hook up with his buddies, be drinking and getting high again. Lets not put our heads in the sand - this is how it works with guys like this. I'm sure he is smiling...

Assaulting a 9 year old little girl? And then threaten her? Wow. God bless that little girl.

I agree with crafty, only I don't think that they should be given the death so quickly. My ultimate form of torture would be a melon baller, salt water, and gauze that is not nonstick. Just my two cents, I have thought long and hard about sex offenders, I run a daycare and I am responsible for more than my share of kids and I swear I every hear or heard that a sexual offender got away with less than what they put a child through that I knew, so help me and my god, you can bet that bail money and the words in caption under my mug shot would be something along the lines of "Sicko melon-baller carrying daycare provider brings on pain like no other form of torture!"
I would gladly take a pat on the back and a high five from anyone who feels the same way, but were not as sick as I was. Again just my two cents.

I assume if hes not suppose to be around children then that should include the library.I also think they should be supervised forlife not just for 2 years. all sex offenders should have a tracking chip implanted somewhere on them so we know where they are at all times,

WAS it the judge? OR was it our wonderful state legislature who seems to pass all these great laws?

Hey let's put them in the judges extra bedroom...after all they figured he is not a risk right???

Castrate them! It might sound crude, but these animals are RUINING CHILDREN"S LIVES! Taking away the innocence of children should punishable by death by firing squad. I'd be the first volunteer! There are too many people on this Earth already, get rid of these monsters!
Since we can't do that, things like what this creep did will keep happening. The judges are too lenient with child molesters all over the country. Why is that?
If you sell someone a bunch of drugs, you go away for three times as long! And they wanted them! Drugs, no matter the kind, will never do the damage that a pedophile will. They keep giving drug dealers more time for the crime, but they keep on doing it. Do they think child molesters are rehabilitated after these light sentences? What is wrong with this picture?

Some GPS tracking units work by continously monitoring the trackee's whereabouts. Since a GPS unit "knows" where it is at all times, areas designated "off limits" (by latitude and longitude coordinates) can send an automatic alert to law enforcement if the trackee strays into these areas. Areas can also be designated that require the trackee to be at certain times (ie at home) that can also alert enforcement if they're not at a designated place at a designated time. Some units work by nearly continuous monitoring, and some work by passive monitoring. I'd be curious to know what type is used in Janesville.

Since the article states that he cannot leave unless looking for work, I would imagine that this creep also has to wear a monitoring bracelet that alerts law enforcement when he leaves home. GPS tracking then would be able to match his whereabouts to his job hunting...

Nonetheless, I would not want this piece of human filth living next to my house...

And remember; it's the ones you DON'T know about that you have to be more concerned about.

You are so right, NO ONE wants these animals in their neighborhood, but unfortuneately, they come whether we want them or not. The most important thing to remember is to keep your family well informed with the services our communities provide, and basically deal with these scumbags as you would deal with a destructive raccoon. Protect your family by being aware of what is happening around you, and if there is reason to believe that desctruction may happen, try preventing it before it happens. I personally think that these people should all be put on an island together and let them assult one another until they are so sick of themselves they expire. ICK

No sarcasm intended here proartist, but where should we put them? And before everyone says "prison", at this point that's not an option, they are already out, and have to be dealt with.

Nobody wants them in their neighborhood.

Good that the Gazette publishes this and that adjoining neighborhoods are made aware but I wonder if all the theatre audiences of the Armory's restaurants and shows, the staff, and actors who live in that block - are going to be aware when they're going to and from the building. While many try to help improve and revitalize the downtown, others apparently continue to encourage the already 90% of Janesville's low-income, unmaintained, group homes and social services proliferating in the downtown.

I just inquired on another thread about the monitoring of this man by GPS--does anyone know how GPS monitoring by DOC works? How is it protecting neigborhoods? I can't imagine there's a DOC employee sitting in an office somewhere tracking sex offenders.

I was just reading on CNN that a level 3 sex offender just assaulted a 6 year old in a public library I think it was out east some where. Could this guy do it too?

Back in society after 10 years. First degree sexual assault and then threatening 9 year olds with a knife. If you look at the detail he was sentenced to 12 years but it was stayed and he was given one year jail time with huber priviledges? At some point he was sent to Waupon, but he didn't spend near 12 years in prison.

Nice, real nice.
