Bill toughens law on visual sexual aggression against children in Maine

Those who peer at children in public could find themselves on the wrong side of the law in Maine soon.
A bill that passed the House last month aims to strengthen the crime of visual sexual aggression against children, according to state Rep. Dawn Hill, D-York.
Her involvement started when Ogunquit Police Lt. David Alexander was called to a local beach to deal with a man who appeared to be observing children entering the community bathrooms. Because the state statute prevents arrests for visual sexual aggression of a child in a public place, Alexander said he and his fellow officer could only ask the man to move along.
"There was no violation of law that we could enforce. There was nothing we could charge him with," Alexander said.
He attended a talk with Hill a week later and brought the case to her attention. Hill pledged to do what she could, Alexander said, and the result was a change through the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee in the House, which made the law applicable in both private and public places.
Alexander said he's grateful Hill was willing to take up the cause, and is hopeful the measure will clear the Senate.
"I'll be pleased that we were able to identify this flaw and take steps to rectify it," he said.
Under the bill, if someone is arrested for viewing children in a public place, it would be a Class D felony if the child is between 12 to 14 years old and a Class C felony if the child is under 12, according to Alexander.
Hill said she believes the move was necessary to correct what she called a "loophole" in the state's criminal law statutes.
"I told Lt. Alexander that I would be happy to work with him and sponsor a bill that would correct this in the 2008 session," Hill said. "And so we did."
In arguing for the bill, Alexander said she cited public rest rooms as places where the people using them should have a reasonable expectation of privacy. She said the committee determined that there would not be any major side effects from expanding the statute to include public places.
The bill recently cleared a fiscal review, done because of the state's major prison budget crunch, and Hill said it should be heading to the Senate before long.
York Police Chief Doug Bracy said the statute would represent a fairly minor change that would help keep the public safer, especially children. He noted that York police respond fairly regularly to reports of public peepers on the town's beaches.
With ever-growing concern over sexual predators, Bracy said the arrests will also allow police to check backgrounds and determine if there is a criminal history involved.
"There is a growing outcry by the public to protect our children," Bracy said, noting that tourists from all over the country visit York.

whats wrong with a good punch to the face to the guy perving at ya kid, that would fix it.

[Gag]

This is totally fucking ridiculous.

What if the kid is incredibly ugly, or has a deformity of some kind? It's only natural to stare in that case, you're going to call some guy a pervert and charge him or staring at some ugly kid? Fuck aff.

And I'm with Katcha, if some guy is obviously showing some attraction to your runt, lynch the fucker.

Minority Report, what a fucking turkey film.

And visual aggression makes no fucking sense, you can't be aggressive towards someone vissually. And who's to say that staring at someone automatically indicates something sexual? There's no way of knowing what's going through someone's head when they're gawking at a kid.

Another thing that pisses me off, in reference to kid fuckers, to justify homosexuality alot of people have the theory gay thoughts are brought on by genetics, well who's to say the same doesn't go for having sexual thoughts towards kids?

It seems highly likely that if genetics can cause unusual sexual thoughts in the case of gays, the same could apply to child predators. But no one brings that up because they don't want to be accused of justifying child abuse.

Alot of child abusers shame themselves for doing it, so obviously they didn't just wake up one day and say "I wanna fuck me some children.", so maybe they've got some actual mental defect that could be treated if someone cared enough to look into it.

And on a side note, Filla, I'll see you on the inside brotha.

[Gag]

I'd also like to point out, if they were to find a treatment (which would require looking) odds are that would do alot better than sending a pederast to jail for a year or three then releasing them.

Look at it this way, if fucking women was against the law, as was looking at porn with women involved, and you went to prison for three years for looking at porn, when released, would you honestly never watch another porn? Or fuck another woman? Not a chance, same applies for child predators. Those sick fucks have needs, punishment be damned.

^^^ thats why pedophiles cant be treated as it is a sexual preference that they feel they got no control over hence why you cant "fix" them they re offend something like 80% of the time and they are just a waste of space and should be neutered and made blind.
