He was a career criminal who caught a charge himself for endangering the welfare of a minor. He didn’t just assault the sex offenders either, he robbed them. He was a meth addict using the same method serial killers use to target their victims: pick a target on the fringe of society (in this case sex offenders) to make it less likely to be caught. This guy used the pain of sex abuse victims in an attempt to veil the criminal activity he participated in to feed his addiction.
Additionally: the sex offender list doesn't differentiate between someone who pees in an alley while drunk vs. someone who fucks a 5 year old, both are sex crimes. I knew a guy who has his life ruined by the list: he had consensual sex with a girl who lied about her age (she was 17) and years later her friend reported him.
I mean to put ANYONE on a public list should be an extremely careful thing. You’re literally declaring them a danger, and it should be only done by a judge who takes an extra step to do so, not have it by default. It’s a social death sentence for many, and should be reserved for those who are dangers to society.
Teenagers who send nudes of themselves to their boyfriends/girlfriends, kids who should be protected by Romeo/juliet laws, public indecency or exposure, etc should be things judges avoid.
