I am sure the pedophiles in Massachusetts are up in arms. I have done some research into whether or not the FMSwordF is lobbying against this. I haven't come up with anything about this yet. I will be reviewing other sites that are as frustrated with the FMSwordF as I am. They, actually have been at trying to expose the FMSwordF for over 20 years. I am a relative newbie. I will also look on sites that are against the sexual offender registry. Believe it or not there are tons of blogs and websites that are against the sexual offender registry. To be honest some with good intentions others not so much. Some anti-sexual offender registry people have the same type of delusional thinking that pedophiles do. They feel if someone has served their time they shouldn't be stigmatized for the rest of their lives.would eliminate time restrictions on prosecuting perpetrators of sexual abuse against children
While I agree that there are instances of people who are on the registry for issues such as; teenagers engaged in consensual sex that are very close in age, that probably shouldn't have been there in the first place. Although if you are 4 years older then the minor you are engaging in sexual relations with, you should have to deal with the consequences. If it was forced sexual contact then IMO it doesn't matter how close in age the teenagers are. If someone forces another person to have sex that is rape and again the person should suffer the consequences teenager or not. Of course I have absolutely no tolerance for anyone who sexually abuses a child. I don't think pedophiles should ever be off of the registry once they are on it. The reality is that even though most pedophiles who are arrested for child sexual abuse are first time offenders. It doesn't mean they didn't offend prior to getting caught. I have been told that by the time a pedophile gets caught the first time he has offended up to 100 times. I want to commend Majority Leader Ronald Mariano for taking this issue on. Thank you Mr. Mariano, Rosie

lawmakers are working to redraft a plan that would eliminate time
restrictions on prosecuting perpetrators of sexual abuse against
children, Speaker Robert DeLeo said Monday, indicating that a
“constitutionally correct” version of the proposal could be passed into
law by the end of July.
“At the end of the day, we have to come up with a bill that will pass constitutional muster and you know that has to be something of a concern,” DeLeo told reporters after exiting a meeting with Gov. Deval Patrick. “Because at the end of the day if we do not do that, then the first time this bill is tested and is thrown out, you know, it will come back to fall on the Legislature as to why so-and-so wasn’t convicted because the statute wasn’t constitutionally correct.”
“We’ll take some more time and make sure at the end of the day we’ve got a bill that has that balance,” he added. “Some of the attorneys representing some of the victims have been to my office expressing concern. I’ve got some folks in my district expressing concern ... Hopefully we’re going to be able to get something done.”
