Not A Lawyer

No indictments and no criminal charges have been filed against David Copperfield, yet it seems that through media leaks he has already been smeared in the public eye.

A woman is claiming that Copperfield created the illusion of a party, but there was no party and he allegedly hit her and raped her while she was visiting him in the Bahamas. Copperfield owns a series of islands there.

So, the FBI raided his warehouse and also visited the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino where he performs in Vegas. Did they find anything? No one knows yet. They supposedly confiscated some items, including a computer hard drive and digital cameras.

There are reports circulating about how Copperfield uses his shows to target women he is interested in from his audiences. Now plenty of women are coming forward and saying they think they were targeted and were asked by Copperfield’s people about where they like to vacation, among other things.

My question is, if Copperfield was so shady, why didn’t any of these women come forward before? None of them made a peep until this woman from Seattle said she was assaulted and sexually assaulted by him. I find that quite shady.

So the investigation continues. Unless this woman has the results of a rape kit to back up her accusations I don’t really look for this case to go very far. Sounds more like morning after regret to me, if anything.

I fully believe that child molesters can not be cured of their sick desires that lead them to sexually abuse children. They are wired differently than normal people and it can’t be changed.

In one way, I am sickened every time I hear about an Internet child predator arrest but in another way I am glad, because they were caught and arrested. I say we should throw them under the jail and forget about them, but unfortunately the justice system doesn’t work that way.

I am sick to death of the fact that child molesters get such light sentences. Why should they be released back into society to stalk our children? Don’t we owe our children more?

Why is it that a person who rapes a child generally spends less time in prison than a bank robber? Kids are far more valuable than any amount of money. Why is there not appropriate justice for them when sexual crimes are committed against them?

It disgusts me, really disgusts me, to look at the sex offender listings and see how many of these sickos have done little or no time for their sex crimes against children. Yet here they are, moving into your neighborhood, my neighborhood and basically anywhere they damn well choose as long as it’s not near a school, church or playground.. or whatever the state restrictions may be. They are still living near children! And worse, I think, that they can live next door to you and your child and see your child individually every day as you come and go. So what if they don’t have a group of children to stalk, they can still choose individual child targets.

The system is just not good enough. It is not harsh enough on sex offenders, especially when a child has been victimized.

The story below is about a person who has a high profile job with CBS, and was recently busted for making arrangements on the internet to rape an 11-year old girl and have the sexual assault videotaped as well.

What do you think should happen to people like this? I know I have my ideas…

A man convicted of forcible rape was found working at FedEx in Sacramento, California, delivering packages, after he failed to register his address with the sex offender registry. FedEx says they did not know he was a convicted sex offender. The man was jailed and then released.
