Sex Offender saga — motion to certify a class
The brief is here.
There has been a TRO entered for the 8 named plaintiffs. That means that they are the only 8 that are safe this coming Saturday. If the Judge grants this motion, then everyone on the registry will be added to the suit and the class will be formed.
It would be irresponsible (but not illegal) for any sheriff to pick someone up this Saturday with this litigation pending.

My brother was convicted of statutory rape in 2001. Although he and the so called victim has had a relationship since he has been out of prison he is still considered a sexual predator. They have a 1 year old son together now. He will never be able to attend a school function with his son or take him to church, etc. So who is this really hurting? In the state of GA you get off with a lighter sentence if you kill someone than if you have consentual sex.Has all the new laws really helped anything? It sounds to me in most cases it hurts more than it helps!!!!!

My husband is 27 years old. He was charged with a Stautory Rape charged in 1999 to 2000 when he was 18 years old. The girl was 15. He had broking up with her after two years of a relationship. Her parents found out about the brake-up and decided the get back at him for supposely breaking her heart. so they had him lock and and charged with Stautory Rape. My opinion on the new law is they to reread over what they are doing because its not only hurting them but the families their trying to make out of the life. Its not right if a son’s dad can’t go to his son’s school because of a girl that made a mistake going out with someone older than her.
