Beloit man declared sexually violent person
JANESVILLE A Beloit man was committed to an institution Wednesday under the state’s sexually violent person law.
James Dye, 38, was convicted in 2005 of felony first-degree sexual assault of a child and sent to prison, according to the Wisconsin Attorney General’s Office.
Rock County Court Judge Kenneth Forbeck ordered Dye’s commitment to the state Department of Health Services for sex-offender treatment.
The state’s petition alleged Dye suffers from mental conditions that predispose him to sexual violence.
The petition also alleges that Dye’s mental disorders make it likely he will reoffend.
Dye will remain in the custody of health services until he is no longer considered sexually violent.

Does anyone care that Judge James Welker released a dangerous child molester into the Rock County community on February 15? Watch out for your children!

WHY isn't guilty of exposing self to children on watchdog? This is why I always say look at wccap AND watchdog. There was also a petition for violence against children. Not sure what that means exactly but isn't good!

JanesvilleLiving: "Pur(r)maid I feel sorry for you being so self absorbed."
Please explain what part of suggesting the family get on with enjoying life constitutes MY being "self-absorbed"?
Are you suggesting the family should just curl up and wither because one horrificly violent member of their family is no longer amongst them?
JanesvilleLiving: "Your family will need your support if they ever have to send a loved one away, expecially if it is for something like this."
Again, what part of my earlier statement suggests anything remotely non-supportive of the family members? In fact, I don't see ANY posts that speak negatively of the family. As for negative posts against Mr. Dye, he deserves every venomous word. Do you understand what "First Degree Sexual Assault of a Child" constitutes? Your pity should be with the victim and not one of Mr. Dye's family members who "might" be reading a Gazette blog.

Purmaid I feel sorry for you being so self absorbed. Your family will need your support if they ever have to send a loved one away, expecially if it is for something like this.

I agree he belongs where he needs to be. Hopefully he can get some help with the issues he has came across in life. I am saddened that the Jimmy I knew is gone and his life has taken such a drastic turn. Growing up he would have never hurt a soul, he was the one taking the abuse from everyone else.

If that guy was part of my family, I wouldn't be "suffering," I'd be dancing in the streets with happiness that he was no longer able to inflict horrific violent crimes on others. To his family: His incarceration is your freedom. Time to concentrate on elevating the quality of your own lives, now that you don't have to worry about his. Make the most of it!

This guy "Jim" is a guy who also has a family that is suffering because of what is going on. Please remember that these comments are read by all not just people who have negative comments to make. I also remember him from a very early age and also going to school. My heart weeps for his family and loved ones.

"... until he is no longer considered sexually violent." Hmm, this sounds like a save-the-world philosophy. Nobody will change unless they want to change.

According to CCAP, he's been a sicko for years. He needs to be put out of his misery.
