In half the country, sex offense civil commitment incarcerates people after they complete their prison sentences.
minus-squareNocturnalMorning@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·13 days agoIt’s not pedophile punishment. Nowhere in the article did it say anything about this guy being a pedophile.
minus-squareAmidFuror@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up2·13 days agoYeah, they only named two convicts and the mothers of two others. These programs are for sex offenders, of which pedophiles are the most reviled subset. They will be the ones politicians point to while showing voters they are tough on crime. Of the two named offenders, Padrón violently raped two adults. His crimes were particularly heinous, but did not involve pedophilia. The second, Mikael Miller, has a conviction for sexual conduct with a minor under 13 while 27 over the age of 35 (search Miller, Mikael and then see case 19HA-CR-11-1931). Edit: totally misread the 35 part of the charge
