The sentence for CSC 4th degree (hand to breast)? Nine months in jail. Three months on a tether, and 28 years of probation. "Did you say 28 years?" Yes. 3 years of reporting to a probation officer and 25 years of reporting to the local police department. The sentence does not end until you are off the registry.
Over 1,000 applications placed in five years. No job. The only work is through family and friends. You struggle to make ends meet.
Visits from the Child Protection Agency to make sure you are not abusing your children. Visits by the State Police to make sure you're living where you say you're living. If a child turns up missing in your neighborhood, you don't have a right to refuse a search of your own home. No warrant needed.
Your neighbors tell their neighbors, who in turn tell their neighbors, who in turn tell their neighbors. Dirty looks, nasty leers, backs turned. You are no longer trusted or liked. No halloween, no taking your kids to the playground, no going near a school. Don't frequent where kids congregate. Stay away from our children.
