Diane Dimond stokes the flames of vigilante violence in poorly worded editorial calling murder a "public service"

Perhaps some of you might have been thinking Diane Dimond was actually a resonable reporter, given her recent skepticism of sex offense registries. Yet, she still refers to a registrant as a "convicted pedophile," and since we all know that there is no crime called "pedophilia" nobody can be a "convicted pedophile."

Her article also shows us that the narrative Fairbanks's victim deserved what he got because he was allegedly "ogling kids while pretending to wash his car" has take hold and is not questioned. How does anyone know Fairbanks didn't make that shit up as an excuse to kill? After all, the media spent a week focused on a dilapidated children's playset in Condoluci's backyard before the Omaha Turd-Herald wrote that it belonged to the landlord of the rental property, not Condoluci.

There are lots of irresponsible people spreading lies on the Internet but it is worse when it is a syndicated columnist.

Murder as a Public Service?
By Diane Dimond
May 30, 2020  5 Min Read

On the evening of May 14, 2020, in Omaha, Nebraska, James Fairbanks went to the home of Mattieo Condoluci and shot him dead. Condoluci, 64, was a twice convicted pedophile, and Fairbanks, 43, had spent years working with troubled kids in the Omaha Public School system.

After the body was discovered, the dead man's daughter, Amanda Henry, was quoted saying, "Murdering my dad was a horrible thing, but children are much safer now."

Fairbanks is now charged with first-degree murder.

During an emotional phone call with Henry, she told me of her father's death: "I was relieved. It finally happened. It's over. It has been hell."

And then Henry told me what life had been like with Mattieo Condoluci.

"I was beaten and raped by my own father for years," she said. "The man who was supposed to protect me instead belittled, humiliated and tortured me until I finally escaped at age 19." This, she told me, is why she is now supporting the man who killed her father.

"James Fairbanks answered a 27-year-long prayer for me," Henry said. "He was there when the police weren't there. He did something when the police didn't."

Henry described how her mother had fought valiantly to maintain custody of her 2-year-old daughter but lost touch when Condoluci took off with the toddler.

While Henry has tried to block out much of her early nomadic years with Dad — they moved to several different cities in California, Florida, New Mexico, Iowa and Nebraska — she remembers her father routinely preyed on single mothers with young children. "He would find a lost soul, bring her home and then do his devil's work," she said.

In 1994, Condoluci pleaded no contest in Florida to molesting the 5-year-old son of a woman he was dating. His sentence? Four years' probation. In 2006, by then relocated to Nebraska, Condoluci was sentenced to five years in prison for sexually assaulting the 12-year-old daughter of another woman in his life. He served less than two years.

Around the same time, Henry says she was befriended by a licensed counselor and foster mother who encouraged her to report her father to the Omaha Police Department. Henry says the Omaha Police Department told her she had waited too long; the statute of limitations had run out.

Today, others, most notably, two of Henry's female cousins, have posted on a "Free James Fairbanks" Facebook page that they were sexually abused by "Uncle Matt," and they are supporting his killer. One told me: "I was raped till I was 13 years old. It started when I was 7."

In a confession Fairbanks distributed to the local media before his arrest, he explained that while looking for a new apartment, he had checked the sex registry for a particular neighborhood and found Condoluci's name. Fairbanks admitted he had watched the convict pretending to wash his car while ogling a group of children playing in the street.

"I felt sick to my stomach," Fairbanks wrote. "I researched him more and more and found he had victimized dozens of kids in different states. ... (He) had a playground set in his backyard." Because of his work with victimized kids, Fairbanks said, "I couldn't in good conscience allow him to do it to anyone else while I had the means to stop him."

Total strangers are sending money to Fairbank's jailhouse account; thousands have signed petitions calling for Fairbanks to be pardoned — unlikely at this point since he hasn't been convicted of anything. Many are saying simply that Fairbanks should not spend another night in lockup, that he did the community a favor.

This case challenges society's ethics and our own morals. It underscores the failure of the statute of limitations laws because as any victim of childhood sex abuse will tell you, they get no reprieve from a lifetime of trauma. The case also highlights those disappointing sex registries that are clogged with the names of teenage Romeos and public urinators but fail to focus strict surveillance on career pedophiles and rapists.

The case leaves us with the unsettling idea that sometimes — when those in authority fail to protect — murder could be seen as a public service.

In that instance, should the murderer get a pass?

The Omaha World-Herald spent a week promoting vigilante violence, only now says it is wrong

UPDATE -- After a full week of promoting the Free Fairbanks facebook vigilante group, the fundraisers, and endless stream of articles sympathetic to vigilante killer James Fairbanks, only after an entire week of all this does the Turd-Herald say that vigilante murder is wrong. No takebacks here. Where was this editorial a week ago?

Original - It is a rarity that I choose to nominate an entire news outlet as opposed to a single reporter, but it is not without precedent. The Omaha paper is so full of shit, I've dubbed them the Omaha Turd-Herald.

Over the past 2 days, the Turd-Herald has published articles sympathizing with James Fairbanks, a man who abused the Nebraska Registry and influenced by a Facebook vigilante group to commit cold-blooded murder.

Below are just a couple of exerpts from a couple of the articles. There are more and i'm sure there are plenty of links on the article to more reports, but the Turd Herald has done everything it can to demonize the registrant and canonize the murderer.

https://www.omaha.com/news/crime/woman-whose-son-was-molested-by-omaha-homicide-victim-supports-his-alleged-killer/article_1322c1c7-ad55-5c69-9b2c-4d36f90ea20a.html

 Laura Smith created a Facebook group to warn others about the convicted sex offender.

She wrote in June 2016 that Condoluci preys on the single mother “to get his hands on her children.”

“He must be stopped,” she added. “He has been convicted twice but back on the streets.”...

When Smith discovered that Condoluci had been found slain in Omaha on Saturday, she reignited her postings in the group.

“Flush that POS remains down the toilet and save the tax payers money,” she wrote the day after Condoluci’s body was found. “Justice served!”

Fairbanks has no history of violent crimes, according to a review of court records, but his ex-wife, Kelly Tamayo, applied for protection orders against him in 2016 and 2018 while they were going through a divorce.

Tamayo said Tuesday that her ex-husband “called me yesterday afternoon and told me what he had done and that he was turning himself in to police.”

Fairbanks, she said, “was apologetic and asked me to tell the kids that he loved them.”
...

The writer of the email, sent to The World-Herald and other local news media outlets, claimed to have shot Condoluci after learning that he was listed on Nebraska’s sex offender registry. The author said he or she was apartment hunting in the neighborhood where Condoluci lived and learned of him while investigating the neighborhood.

“We are all in shock to say the least,” said Tamayo, who divorced Fairbanks in 2016. “Jim is a protector. He has worked with vulnerable kids his entire career. He took it very personally to protect his kids and other kids from (sex) offenders like that man was.”

Tamayo, who said she has a doctorate in psychology, said she thinks Fairbanks was “overwhelmed by the thought that this man was going to offend again.” He most likely was living in fear of that possibility, she said.

“He would have been that way because the penal system fails to rehabilitate these individuals,” she said. “They just put them back in our neighborhoods.”...

West Virginian Scotti Wilkinson attacks registered person he claims was talking to his kids, wants money for "Disney World"

I am not going to post a direct link to this, but for the sake of proof, you can cut and paste the link below if you want to see the attack.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEZSHIPy_Ww

At any rate, Scotti Wilkinson of Parkersburg WV is now trying to make money off this venture. So far, it does not look like this piece of shit has been brought to justice for this violent crime.

This is why registered citizens should take measures to protect themselves. Any scumbag can attack a registrant under the guise of 'protecting children" and no one will bat an eyelash or question these lowlifes.

Here's yet another victim advocate trying to get judge removed over what she claims is a lenient sentence

Utah already has the not-so-Smart family and now this crazy lady comes out of the woodwork.

Victim advocate starts petition after sex offender gets 210 day sentence for child porn possession
By: John Franchi
Posted at 9:59 PM, May 17, 2020 and last updated 10:59 PM, May 17, 2020

An advocate for victims of sex crimes believes the justice system was too lenient on an admitted sex offender.

*** of Sandy pleaded guilty to three felony charges of sexual exploitation of a minor after investigators said they discovered more than 13,000 images of child pornography on his electronic devices.

*** faced one to 15 years in prison for each of the charges.

Instead, *** received a punishment of 210 days in jail. After receiving credit for time already served, he will spend about two more months behind bars.

“I was horrified when I heard about this case,” said Cathy Hoffman, a survivor of sex trafficking who now is working to give a voice to victims of sex abuse. “It’s horror. You’re horrified something like this can exist.”

Due to the graphic nature and volume of illegal files found in *** possession, Hoffman believes the punishment doesn’t fit the crime.

“It’s a green light to do whatever you want,” Hoffman said. “For every victim that has gone through something like that, it’s a slap in the face. It’s a slap in the face.”

Hoffman organized an online petition calling for Judge Douglas Hogan, the judge who handed down the sentence, to be held accountable. As of Sunday evening, the petition had the backing of more than 13,000 people.

“I have a great respect for the justice system when it does what it is supposed to do,” Hoffman said. “Children are the future and when you don’t give them a voice or justice, you’re taking that future away from them.”

The Utah Attorney General’s office investigated and prosecuted the case. In a statement, they said: “The prosecutor asked for prison. The judge, following the sentencing matrix, rejected the State’s recommendation.”

The statement added, “This is not unusual for cases like this. For a second degree felony unless there was physical violence or a live victim instead of images of child pornography with unknown children, this was a standard sentence.”

That shows Cathy, this issue is deeper than this one case and one judge. She wants to inspire system-wide changes in how these sex offenders are punished.

“Nothing is going to change unless someone speak ups,” Hoffman said. “I want to take it to the state legislature, saying, 'Look, there are 12,000 people standing behind me. This is a problem, you need to fix this.'”

Utah does not have an avenue for a recall election for a judge.

Judge Hogan received a 97% positive recommendation score in his most recent retention evaluation published by the Utah Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission.

Anna Holtzman is the Alex Jones of the #MeToo Movement

It is 2020 and we still have people pushing the debunked Repressed Memory pseudoscience from the 1980s, but it fits perfectly with the mindless #MeToo narrative. If we automatically believe all accusers rather than the the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, then we risk many innocent people having their lives completely destroyed by a false accusation. That is the true danger of movements like #MeToo. They simply do not want to believe anyone can make a false allegation

I'm not going to publish the entire crap piece -- it is long and publishing it is like trying to unclog a sewer. There's just too much shit to unpack. She goes into Alex Jones levels of conspiracy theories like MKUltra, coverups of Freud's theories on child abuse, and that proof of innocence does not mean innocence.

This crackpot article has popped up on Google News Feeds, so apparently, Google has low standards as to what constitutes as "news" these days.

And to think, a number of people in this Anti-Registry Movement are foolish enough to believe these crackpots can be reasoned with.

Harvey Weinstein’s ‘False Memory’ Defense and its Shocking Origin Story How powerful sex offenders manipulated the field of psychology.
May 15, 2020 by Anna Holtzman

During the Harvey Weinstein rape trial, the defense called to the stand expert witness Elizabeth Loftus, a researcher on the phenomenon of so-called “false memory.” This legal tactic, explicitly designed to discredit the testimony of sexual abuse survivors, has a sordid and astonishing history dating back to the 1980s and 90s, an era known to the psychology field as the “memory wars.”

The “memory wars” were essentially a war on sexual abuse survivors who dared to speak out in an era before #METOO. More specifically, the “memory wars” targeted a particular group of sexual abuse victims: Incest survivors.

Incest is one of the most common forms of sexual abuse, and yet — despite the gains of the #METOO movement — it remains conspicuously missing from the conversation. This is largely because the “false memory” defense that was created to silence incest survivors has somehow persisted, both in the public consciousness and in the field of psychology itself.

This essay will examine the history of the “false memory” defense and its far-ranging impacts. To fully explore the issue, readers will have to open their minds to the possibility that the field of modern psychology is entrenched in pseudoscientific propaganda created by alleged child abusers, that some of Freud’s most enduring theories were based on protecting incest perpetrators, and that during the Cold War, the CIA engaged in widespread sexual abuse of children. It sounds fantastical, I know. But, so did the Weinstein case when it first broke. I hope you’ll bear with me.

... So how does Project MKUltra connect to the “false memory” propaganda campaign? One of the MKUltra intelligence-hacking experiments involved a “honey trap” strategy whereby prostitutes were trained to extract information from intelligence officers using sex. Some of these sex workers were consenting adults. Others were sex trafficked children that MKUltra researchers gained access to under the pretext of medical treatment....

The “False Accusations” Deception

The notion that legal exoneration of an alleged perpetrator is proof of a “false accusation” resulting from a “false memory.”

Unless you are a men’s rights activist or living under a rock, anyone in the age of #METOO should understand that legal exoneration is not proof that sexual abuse did not occur. The legal system is rigged against sexual abuse victims, as has been shown time and time again — even in cases where irrefutable physical evidence has been present.

The “Due Process” Deception

The notion that sexual abuse memories should be treated as courtroom accusations and thus regarded with suspicion — even in a therapeutic setting — in order to honor due process for the accused.

While blanket skepticism certainly makes sense in a courtroom setting, it is not consistent with the general goals or attitudes of psychotherapy. Just imagine how a therapy session might go if the therapist viewed a client’s every memory with skepticism — childhood birthdays, the loss of a beloved pet, a fight with a best friend. Generally, therapists are trained to respond to clients’ memories with acknowledgment, empathy and curiosity. Only on the topic of childhood sexual abuse are therapists warned to be wary of “false memories.”

What we know about childhood sexual abuse is that — like adult sexual abuse — it occurs at epidemic rates and is grossly underreported, under-prosecuted and routinely disbelieved. Warning therapists to be wary of “false” abuse memories reinforces the status quo of disbelieving sexual abuse survivors....

The “satanic panic” deception is designed to make abuse survivors appear “crazy” or “hysterical” — a tactic that deflects attention from perpetrators by discrediting their victims.

While the term “satanic ritual abuse” may sound out-there, it refers to a very real and commonplace phenomenon. The more ordinary term for this phenomenon is “organized abuse.” Put simply, it is the practice of organized groups perpetrating abuse as a condoned, intentional and habitual activity. ...

A theory, espoused by Peter Levine and others, that when an individual experiences unexplained emotional distress, the mind may create or latch onto a “false memory” of incest out of a “desperate” need to explain the distress.

The term “desperate” as used here is a dog whistle for sexism — similar to words like “hysterical” that cast women’s emotional reactions to oppression and gaslighting as “crazy.”...

I don’t question the fact that memories can come back spontaneously, that details can be forgotten, or even that memories of abuse can be triggered by various cues many years later.
Based on well-known literature by both trauma experts and survivors, the above is a fairly sound description of repressed memory. It’s hard to understand, then, Loftus’s insistence that repressed memory is a myth.

That is because Loftus’s definition of repressed memory is not derived from trauma experts or survivors, but rather from the population that she is steeped in: Alleged perpetrators.

No Kid Hungry rejects $200,000 donation from rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine because his sex offense conviction is against their "principals"

Like most every other human being on the planet, people convicted of sex offenses donate to charities. While I have seen other stories where charities have rejected donations from Registered Persons, this is bigger not just because of the size of the donation, but the fame of the person donating, as well as the fact he was convicted of a sex offense. I'm not one to share info about a conviction, but in this instance, it is worth noting that Tekashi 6ix9ine was convicted of a (relatively petty) sex offense but as part of a plea got probation and avoided registration status. However, being a celebrity means this was reported everywhere and brought up as the reason the charity rejected the donation.

I can think of better places Tekashi 6ix9ine can donate his money, like OnceFallen.com for example. After all, we help those everyone with a sex offense conviction navigate this complex registry no matter what their background it, and 100% of donations go to the cause itself, not to paying board members between $150k and $400k annually, as No Kid Hungry apparently does.

Now I want to know if No Kid Hungry also denies services to children if they are children of registered persons.

Here's Why No Kid Hungry Rejected 6ix9ine's $200,000 Donation

5/12/2020 by Heran Mamo
 FACEBOOK

After Tekashi 6ix9ine ******  in his "Gooba" comeback single and video and flashed stacks of cash and a $1 million diamond-encrusted pendant, the 24-year-old rapper felt like doing some good.

He reportedly made $2 million in less than a week since the May 8 release date of "Gooba" and its accompanying merchandise line, according to TMZ. So what's the first thing 6ix9ine tried doing with a cool $2 mil? Donate 10% of the profit, which comes out to $200,000, to No Kid Hungry, a national campaign that primarily strives to end child hunger -- especially during coronavirus when one in four kids could struggle with food insecurity after schools shut down and unemployment rates spiked, according to the website's opening statistic.

"During this pandemic I understand we have nurses and frontline Hero’s who risk there life daily to save others. But NEVER forget the children & families who depend on OUR PUBLIC schools for daily meals and nutritions to keep our future leaders growing to their best potential," 6ix9ine (real name Daniel Hernandez) wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post. "To every influencer out there REMEMBER if you are blessed GOD gave you that blessing not just for YOU but also TO HELP OTHERS GOD FIRST."

Except No Kid Hungry declared his money was no good.

The campaign's director of strategic communications Laura Washburn explained the decision in a statement to Complex. "We are grateful for Mr. Hernandez’s generous offer to donate to No Kid Hungry but we have informed his representatives that we have declined this donation," she wrote. "As a child-focused campaign, it is our policy to decline funding from donors whose activities do not align with our mission and values."

6ix9ine responded to Washburn's claim, writing on his Instagram in a since-deleted post, "@nokidhungry rather take food out the mouth of these innocent children I never seen something so cruel." His fans even flooded No Kid Hungry's Instagram pictures with "L" comments that signaled rejecting his major donation was their loss.

But since scoring an early prison release in April because of the pandemic, his racketeering and firearms charges might not be the only things on the "Gooba" rapper's track record that fails to align with No Kid Hungry's mission and values. In March 2015, the then-18-year-old rapper pleaded guilty to three felony counts for use of a 13-year-old girl in a sexual performance after an inappropriate video from October 2015 surfaced online. He later breached his plea deal when he was arrested for misdemeanor assault in March 2018 after allegedly choking a 16-year-old boy in a Houston mall earlier that year in January.

Flagler County FL Sheriff Rick Staly is mad that the courts ruled in favor of a registered person

Don’t let sex offenders hide from registration | SHERIFF RICK STALY

For years, the state of Florida has required convicted sex offenders by law to register when they move into and live in your neighborhood. This statutory provision has served Floridians well by enabling both law enforcement and citizens to know about the presence and location of convicted sex offenders in their communities. Unfortunately, a newly discovered legal loophole is being exploited by convicted sex offenders and their defense attorneys to avoid registering when they move into Florida communities.

Recently, the 2nd District Court of Appeals considered the case of a convicted sex offender in Hillsborough County who had failed to register after being released from the Florida Department of Corrections after completing his prison sentence. The offender had been sentenced to 15 years and fined $10,000. He and his defense attorney’s claimed that under the law, as it is currently written, he did not need to register since he had not completed his sentence. His sentence included both incarceration for 15 years in state prison and payment of a $10,000 fine. He served the time but never paid the fine and likely won’t. Using a creative defense his attorney exploited a loophole. The appellate court, looking at the literal language of the law and not the intent of the law, agreed with the defense and the court held the convicted sex offender did not have to register as a sex offender because he never “completed his sentence” when he failed to pay the $10,000 fine.

The intent of the current law is clear – sex offenders must register with the local sheriff. However, without action, the crazy result of this court ruling is sex offenders across Florida could avoid registering their presence in our neighborhoods as long as they never pay their fines. This is a double travesty of justice – they are legally allowed to hide who they are and where they live if they don’t pay their fines, which most Department of Corrections offenders do not pay up. This ruling puts our communities and children at risk by allowing convicted sex offenders to roam our communities unregistered and unknown to law enforcement and neighbors. This is totally unacceptable and handcuffs law enforcement from keeping sex offenders from preying on communities.

As sheriff, I have contacted the Florida Sheriff’s Association and our local representatives, State Sen. Travis Hutson and State Rep. Paul Renner so we can fix the law. All have agreed this fix needs to happen as soon as possible and I pledge to do everything I can to do just that. I am asking our community and our Florida lawmakers to join us in returning the law to its original intent. With this needed change, law enforcement and citizens will always have the opportunity to know about convicted sex offenders in their community. This reform law would help ensure a safer Florida for our children and families and hold sex offenders accountable for their criminal deviant behavior.

Staly is the sheriff of Flagler County.

UK Cop's Mother-In-Law accidentally tosses sensitive registrant info in trash and ends up in trashy newspaper

Despite the name of the award I give to dumbest cop of the year, most KeyStone Kop of the Year nominees land here for malicious actions taken against Registered Persons. This is not one of those cases. In the UK (unlike here in the fascist USA), info on registered persons are generally not publicly disclosed.  But this guy was negligent in securing sensitive documents. This guy needs the paper that Chief Quimby uses on all those memos to Inspector Gadget. Wowzers!

Cop’s mother-in-law accidentally threw out top-secret sex offender documents
May 10, 2020
Donna Miller

High-secret documents about pedophiles and their victims have been present in a UK road — as a result of a cop’s mother-in-law unknowingly threw them in a dumpster, a disciplinary listening to was advised.

Sgt. Martin Skirving-Chehab, 42, had introduced house the extremely delicate documents in grocery store buying baggage — and solely realized they have been lacking when he received a panicked message from his spouse, in response to the Northern Echo.

“My mom put that … bag along with your work issues within the f–king recycling bin,” his spouse, who was pregnant with their baby, warned through Whatsapp, the paper stated.

The documents have been discovered by a canine walker who handed them to the Solar newspaper, resulting in a headline-grabbing exposé final July.

The 15-year veteran of Cleveland Police on Wednesday was discovered responsible of gross misconduct for a “sustained failure to take knowledge safety severely,” in response to the Echo.

His mishap triggered “important reputational hurt to the police and a danger of great hurt to members of the general public — specifically 55 registered sex offenders whose knowledge was allowed to enter the general public area,” disciplinary listening to chairwoman Jayne Salt stated.

Nonetheless, Cleveland Police’s Joan Smith urged the panel to permit the officer, who has twice been formally counseled, to maintain his job and as a substitute get a closing written warning. The sergeant’s legal professional, Nicholas Walker, additionally stated the general public wouldn’t be greatest served by shedding such an excellent officer.

The panel was nonetheless contemplating its resolution Wednesday, the paper stated.

Camille Crary of the Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence thinks it is more important to spread COVID-19 than alter registration

No, Camille, you idiot, spreading a deadly disease just to make you feel safe is NOT a priority.

Interestingly, the OAESV offices are closed due to COVID-19.

https://radio.wosu.org/post/coronavirus-ohio-people-sex-offenses-risk-health-person-registration

While registrants have expressed gratitude at the change in Washington County, Camille Crary with the Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence says the change could be difficult for victims.

“For any person that has been through a traumatic experience, a shift in consistency in terms of how that offender is being managed can potentially be very upsetting,” Crary says.

She says many perpetrators of sex crimes don’t end up on the sex offender registration at all – cases are difficult to prove and prosecute. But the registration is a sort of justice for the few victims whose offenders are on it.

“That is a way they can be held accountable,” Crary says. “That is something that is changing their life in the way that the sex crime changed the survivor’s life. And so it becomes very very important to them.”

Looks like the Orange County, Cali. DA's office hasn't improved much without Tony Rackauckas

I was hoping the Orange County DA's office would be better off without crooked Tony Rackauckas (Rawcarcass), but it seems his replacement is just as ignorant.

https://www.fox7austin.com/news/sex-offender-arrested-days-after-being-released-from-jail-over-coronavirus-fears

“They are giving a get out of jail free card," said an outraged Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer. He’s angry over the recent court-ordered release of these seven inmates he calls “high risk” sex offenders.

They were let go on April 7 citing concerns over COVID-19.

“We do not want these people out on the streets because we all know registered sex offenders have the highest propensity to commit additional offenses,” Spitzer said.

https://www.ocregister.com/2020/05/11/six-sex-offenders-whose-early-release-was-criticized-by-orange-county-da-are-arrested-again/

Spitzer in earlier interviews on local and national news outlets and a statement to the public sharply criticized the decision by a court commissioner to release seven “high-risk” sex offenders for time served. The DA’s office now says that six of those seven offenders have already been re-arrested.

The district attorney has alleged that the release of the sex offenders was part of a larger effort by court officials to do “everything in their power to” reduce the jail population. Public Defender Sharon Petrosino countered by accusing Spitzer of “fear-mongering” and distorting the facts of the cases to scare the public.

According to the DA’s office, most of the six accused of violating parole after their release either failed to adhere to their supervision or rendered their GPS units inoperable. As of Monday they remained behind bars, local jail records show.

“It comes as no surprise that these high-risk sex offenders continue to violate the law and do everything they can to avoid being tracked by law enforcement,” Spitzer said in a statement. “There is a concerted effort here in California and across the nation to open up the jailhouse doors and let dangerous criminals back into our streets without regard for the safety of the public which we are sworn to protect.”

The public defenders office has noted that the more recent recent offenses by the individuals spotlighted by Spitzer were not sex crimes, but instead crimes such as drug possession or making criminal threats. The public defenders office also noted that many parolees charge their GPS devices at county facilities that are now closed.

Todd Spitzer seen here showing how big a lie he just told
