Registered Sex Offender Requirements - Part II

 

Continuing with some questions we've been presented:

1. Are any sex offenders given special privileges? No. We remember the Cherokee sex offender who told his family that he had permission to work off the books at the school. Apparently sex offenders lie. Imagine that?

2. Do offenders ever graduate from the registry? Not in this state. (We actually had a recent comment on the woman who made multiple Internet claims that her First Degree rapist husband wouldn't even be on the registry in Tennessee.) Some states do expunge certain crimes (i.e. indecent exposure) after a certain number of years. No such luck here.

3. What is "Indecent Exposure?" We see these crimes mentioned in police reports from time to time. It's usually just what it implies; however, some are charged for being so inebriated they don't realize where they're urinating. We've also seen some women charged who, while drunk and disorderly, think it's cute to lift their tops while being arrested. Not a good idea as one Russellville woman can attest.

4. Does the state ban from using Facebook specifically? No, but Facebook itself bans registered sex offenders. If you know someone using the social medium against this policy, report it: Report

We've had several questions concerning residence requirements; we'll get to those shortly. If you have questions, e-mail to: Shoalanda.Speaks@gmail.com.
