Allen County Prosecutor's Office Attacks Victim of Sexual Predator

Readers might remember my recent post about a convicted child molester receiving extremely lenient treatment from the Allen County prosecutor despite allegedly beating, kidnapping and sexually assaulting a woman. In the original story, I was outraged that this scumbag might only receive a 5 year sentence but now it's official and he's only getting a 2 year sentence which means he'll likely be out of jail before this time next year. I wish I could say I was surprised but I'm not. This prosecutor refuses to protect this community by continuing to give sexual predators, including child molesters, the most lenient sentences imaginable.

Now, the prosecutor's office has taken to publicly attacking the victims of the very scumbags they continue to put back on our streets:

After the plea agreement was reached this month, the woman wrote to the court and said she was ashamed of the prosecution for offering such a deal to Meyer, Speith said.

But Speith said she is ashamed of someone who would levy such serious charges against another person, leading to that person being arrested and then not participate in the investigation.

Did it ever occur to Ms Speith that perhaps the victim doesn't trust local prosecutors to protect her from future attacks? Did it every occur to her that the victim might have had a legitimate reason for skipping the depositions? Did they even bother to investigate that? I suppose it's easier to just make a deal and get that case file off her desk.

But publicly ridiculing the victim of a convicted child molester? Even I never thought Karen Richards' office would stoop that low...

More Leniency for Sexual Predators - Had Enough?

So the 15 year old sexual predator that abused a 7 year old girl at the Franke Park day camp is going to face the ultra-stiff punishment of probation:

The 15-year-old boy who molested a 7-year-old girl at Franke Park Day Camp will spend an indeterminate amount of time on probation.

In a brief hearing Friday, Allen Superior Judge Stephen Sims said he read the teen’s psychological-sexual report, and he did not believe Jean-Paul Lepley Herber would likely commit the crime again. He also said the teen’s parents scored above average on a test designed to determine their parenting ability.

How did that above average parenting ability pan out for them up until now? What a joke. Is this what our justice system has become - a series of bogus psych-evaluations and tests? When are the sheeple going to stand up and demand the justice system take care of these scum?

The kid is obviously a sick individual and knew damn well what he was doing was wrong. He should be punished - not sent running back to his "above average" mom. Don't give me that "he's just a child" crap either. If you're a sexual predator and you want sympathy then you can look in the dictionary between shit and syphilis - that's where you'll find your sympathy.

Congratulations to Deputy Prosecutor Carolyn Foley for reassuring sexual predators that they're safe as long as she is on the job...

Tom Henry Press Conference on Child Safety

I was told that Tom will be holding a press conference on child safety tomorrow at 11am at 3102 S Anthony. The gist of the press conference will be Tom's idea to reinstate/rework a previous child safety program. I'll be interested to hear Tom's thoughts on this matter. When I get the press release I'll update this post...

I don't know exactly what Tom will be talking about but I have my own plan that involves banning sexual predators from the city altogether:

Convicted child molesters have no place in our city. They should be monitored and banned. Our county prosecutor and the judges that impose sentences are a joke. Just go to the registry and look at the sentencing for some of these people - I'm sure you'll be thoroughly outraged at the leniency we apply to these degenerates.

Call me a NIMBY but until the courts start to do something about these predators it's time the city council take action - the first step is to create a law that expands the school/park restriction to 1 mile. I understand they have to go somewhere but that should not be the concern of the city council as it's responsibility is to the people of this city. If we convince a business to open up shop in Fort Wayne we don't worry about how that might negatively effect other communities that lost out. It's every city for itself economically, and sadly I think it must become that way for sexual predator laws as well.

What the City Should Do About Sexual Predators

The News Sentinel posts a story about possible unintended consequences to the new sexual offender law:

New laws taking effect July 1 might have an unintended consequence: allowing about 60 “sexually violent predators” in Allen County to live or work wherever they want.

Sexually violent predators stay on the sex-offender registry for life unless a court decides otherwise. They also cannot work with children or live within 1,000 feet of a school or public park for life.

Ultimately if communities begin to remove these people then the prosecutors and judges will finally be forced to deal with the problem. Enough is enough - people should urge the council to remove these criminals from the city...
