If they have served their time, I guess legally they can't keep them in prison. I seriously doubt the guy is rehabilitated, and NO
I definitely would not want to live next door to him, even if I don't have any kids.
They've been experimenting with civil commitments for people like this. They serve their time in prison and then go to the looney bin until a shrink decides they are no longer a threat. (In some cases, that's never.)
It's terrible and sad when this sort of thing happens and it seems to happen alot when a guy gets out of jail and goes on to recommit crimes , rape, murder, drunk driving. There is such a thing as a habitual offender but after they serve their time what can be done except maybe to keep a closer eye on them?
I don't think child molesters can ever be trusted and I certainly wouldn't want to live next door to one.

And you know, I don't have a problem with civil commitment, AS LONG AS, the person(s) doing the committing don't have a political or financial incentive to do so.
I say this because, I do fear it would become widespread beyond just serious child molesters,and if it isn't done properly, it could then be opened to questions of legality and lawsuits
There was a man who murdered a woman in Bloomington (IN),decapitated her and cut her hands off, her head and hands were never found. This same man was actually released from prison and placed in a home in Jennings co., the residents of the county put up a big fuss, and the man was relocated to Marion county. Why in the world they ever released this guy is beyond me.

Yup, slippery slope. These animals put us in a position of having to compromise our ideals in order to protect the community. It sucks.
This guy has been in prison for 20 years for child molesting. He is a major suspect in the disappearance of Etan Patz...
Does anyone think he is rehabilitated? Can child molesters ever be trusted in society? Would you want to live next door to him?
Are we talking child molesters or pedophiles? There IS a difference between the two. Now, if you are talking a child molester, yes SOME can be trusted in society and MANY go on to live normal lives after being released from prison.
A pedophile? Nope. This won't be popular, however, if a person has been diagnosed with pedophilia, lock him/her up for the rest of their life and never let them out of prison (I am even up for the death penalty in many cases). The simple fact is they are "wired different." To me, a beautiful 30-40 yr old woman "turns me on." To a true pedophile, it does nothing for them. Their age preference is different; be it 8-10 yr olds, 12-14 yr olds, or whatever. There is NOTHING you can do to change this; just like there is NOTHING you can do to change your own sexual orientation.

This is true, some child molesters are situational due to certain stressors and other factors in their lives and can be rehabilitated.
As for persons w/pedophilia...I think more needs to be done to reach out BEFORE they act...in ways of offering confidential counseling w/o fear of punishment , again I say that this would be BEFORE they act.
Cos, I'm pretty sure if they've never acted on it but are afraid of being civilly commited, they won't come forward

All child molesters should be put to death.
All rapists too.
In many ways, those two things are worse than murder and they can't ever be justified like murder can. I can see how a person could rationally murder another, but I simply cannot see a rational justification for rape or child molestation.
A person who rapes or molests kids is mentally defective. The ones who are released from prison either do it again, or in MANY cases, become serial killers.
They don't deserve human rights because they're not human. Nobody human could possibly rape someone or molest a child.
