A society that is unable to make distinctions between adults who force themselves onto kids and those who do not will not be capable in making the same distinctions when both parties are kids. And David Finkelhor, one of the chief architects of the child sexual abuse terror, sanctimoniously weighs in, as if he does not share a large degree of responsibility. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5irXVS-xhCnXTd16SCRXveHQ_Fbjw?docId=c9e24bdefe354b05a51cdbe05e432827 Research varies on frequency of false rape reports Not politically correct.

A negotiated plea strikes the "sexual" part of the assault down to a simple 3rd degree assault but the man is then told that he has to register as a sex offender, despite the plea agreement that it was not sexual. http://www.therepublic.com/view/story/8ee62ce72669437fbd819ea57605207f/NE--Sex-Offender-Appeal A new method of entrapment The idea is that a webmaster notices a slew of referrals supposedly from a new website but, when he visits that site to see what it is about, is presented with child porn images. Since he initiated contact with the site, supposedly the police can charge him with downloading & viewing child porn (since, if you see it in your browser you have technically downloaded it). There are several defences against this, both technical & legal. The simplest technical defence is to use an anonymizer whenever you don't recognize an address. The next step up is to run a portable version of the browser from a TrueCrypt container on a flash drive. This will leave no traces on your system when the TC container is dismounted. The legal defences have to do with case law precedents from a number of cases where people have been acquited for unknowingly accessing a website with illegal material and not spending much time there nor explicitly downloading any files from it. The courts don't take kindly to prosecutors trying to win with arguments that have repeatedly lost already. http://www.inquisition21.com/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=259 Hotel home to 24 "molesters" Ahem... having been forced to live there since they cannot legally live anywhere else. http://www.courierpress.com/news/2012/jan/07/48pt-hed1-15-inches-of-story/?partner=popular School bus drops kids off at sex offender's house Stupidity and hysteria reign. http://www.abc57.com/home/top-stories/School-bus-drops-kids-off-at-sex-offenders-house-136987723.html Three Leading GOP Presidential Nominees Pledge To Be Tough On Porn Gingrich, Romney, Sanitorium.
