You may have recently read about the Muscle Shoals man who received a "sweetheart plea deal." That story has been updated to reveal that the victim refused to testify against his attacker.
The article suggests that being on the sex offender registry for life is a great punishment in itself. We cannot disagree with that statement. A sex offender is usually relegated to tree trimming and lawn care services or possibly something a little more upscale if he has enough cash to invest in his own business. Many simply draw an SSI check because they are unemployable (See Derek Logue below).
What if the registry should be abolished? This is the aim of those who call themselves "sex offender advocates." One of these is former Sheffield resident Derek Logue, now residing in some cornfield in outer Nebraska and awaiting trial on charges of first degree theft in Florida.
For years, Derek has run a website in support of sex offenders, but according to his most recent GoFundMe page, contributions are off. His goal is $1,200.00; however, he's stated he needs half that amount by the end of February or his current website is toast.
So how much has Logue collected at the end of January? Apparently seven misguided individuals have given Derek $203.00 - in other words almost $400.00 short of his stated need by March 1st.
Does this mean we will have seen the last of, as one blogger calls him, Loser Logue? Who can predict, but somehow we doubt it unless he's sentenced to actual prison time in Florida. We can hope.
Be sure to check out the Sex Offender News blog. If you think most of these individuals are redeemable, think again:
Not Even The Corn Fields Are Safe
Derek "The Loser" Logue's girlfriend, Gini, pitched in $13 to his "cause." Derek needs to raise money fast. His Florida court date for eight counts of grand theft is coming up on Valentine's Day. He's managed to avoid a half dozen previous court dates waiting raise money from his rubes and travel to the Sunshine State during the coldest Nebraska month of the year.
