I wish to point out a few of the obvious types of Sex Offenses
(1) Physical
(2) Emotional
(3) Spiritual
Some would hope that Physical Abuse will be the only type punished by criminal charges but soon, Psychologist and Psychiatrist will be in agreement, that the other types of abuse are as equally damaging as Physical,
I have consulted Clients with injuries inflicted from their Mothers, stemming from the Mother's lack of Maternal Care, and attacking the Child's well-being, it is obvious that Females which are not happily Married and raising Children by a Father that is not whom they actually want, or is absent, or is not Physically Able to pleasure Her sufficiently, result in Neglect, Emotional and Physical abuse, it is a fact that currently the Police (Law Enforcement Agencies) are on a witch-hunt, for Male perpetrators, though in the rare cases We are seeing more and more Females which are also opportunistic and experimentally manipulative, this will either cause a more equal enforcement or it will show accurately how we punish without mercy Men, while giving Mercy and lenience to Women.
where is the charge of "Child Molestation" in the Pen Code Sections.
Sex Offense Charges, Hype, Lies and Manipulations
I have been involved over the years with numerous cases and numerous individuals which now are labeled as Sex Offenders, and are currently posted on the Megan page for Sex Offender registration.
I have spoken to and have become aware of tactics used by the Prosecution to reach a conviction rate which is higher than any other type of criminal charge, do I believe that all Convicted Sex Offenders are Guilty, "No". In detail I hope that I will be able to show you (the readers) that the Prosecutors, and Media have and are manipulating the facts and that is resulting in 98% Conviction rate of any accused Sex Offenders.
First I would like to make it clear there are 3 types of Sex Offenses,
(1) Forced Contact, Cal Pen Code 288 “Lewd and Lascivious acts with a Minor” (there is no Penal Code section that specifically is titled “Child Molestation”) examine for yourself upon the link http://quoteped.tripod.com/therapeutichealing/
(this is usually Rape, and if this is Rape of a Child, than the Charge is titled "Lewd & Lascivious acts with a Minor", Penal Code 288, during the time I have been involved with Prosecutors and Law Enforcement Agencies, I have been displeased with the lack of accuracy in describing and titling charges. Example: a child is Raped in turn the Media states that the Child had been Molested, but the fact of not adequately identifying or specifying the true offense is Misleading and Vague, note the case of “Philip Garrido” , this individual was said to have been a “Convicted Child Molester”, though after further investigation, no ! he actually was Convicted of this offense (Cal Pen Code 288) why would the Prosecutor’s and the Media falsely say that someone had been convicted of a crime when that crime is not actually documented or titled, there is no criminal charge that specifically states “Child Molestation” “ Cal Pen Code “?”, and because of this the Media and Prosecutors are creating an absolute lie, that no one is asking for corrections, This is even more evident when describing an act upon a grown women, would a grown woman wish to have her crime of “Rape” said to be “Molest”, or try imagining the news announcer saying that an individual was arrested for molesting a 30 year old, than people would be asking what exactly happened because people can approach grown adults and ask for sex, is noted as un-Constitutional within the U.S. Constitution
(2) Consensual Contact, Cal Pen Code 261.5 Statutory Rape
(this is usually between an over aged adult (18) and an under aged Victim (16-17) though this can and is a charge that is manipulated also as under aged minors are Curious & Experimental, this can be titled Statutory Rape, (Cal Pen Code 288) Lewd & Lascivious, the actions of which occurred can also be exploited as in Experimental adventuring Sex toys and objects can be an item which sounds very dramatic, yet these same Sex toys are enjoyed by adults, again the Prosecution and the Media manipulate the obvious truths that "Humans" Experiment and are Curious, and usually only point out that these events were carried out by an Adult, on a Child, and they have made it “irrelevant” for the Curiosity or the Minor's Promiscuity to be addressed, these facts leave many people with the thought that all Sex Offenses are carried out by very strange and mentally deranged adults, when in reality You would find these individuals usually responsible and productive members of our society.
(3) No Contact,
(this is usually "Indecent Exposure", and if this offense occurs with a Child the charge is one which the title is much more charged with negative and misleading thoughts "To Annoy or Molest a Child", Cal Pen Code 647.6.
Of all the Sex Offenses this charge seems to be for the least of all Offenses, yet due to the title and the fact that "molest" is used within the title, make this one of the worse to be charged with. No Contact, No Violence, No Physical Trauma, the Child victim may occur a sense of Fear, or Threat, but the fact that these individuals (victims) have not been physically or forcefully threatened or touched leave these Victims with a completely different set of issues.
but the offenders are also very different from the other offenses these offenders have not usually had any criminal history, these offenders view their actions as intimate and sensual, these offenders think and believe that their flirtations and exhibitionism is a way of being enticing and engaging, yet not being violent or aggressive.
these individuals are thrown into the prison system with aggressive and violent offenders, that intimidate, threaten and abuse these individuals, because they are not a threat, nor are they predatory, they are however opportunistic in that they do want to have a partner, and because of the attraction that partner seems to be a minor.
Over the years I have Consulted offenders that committed the crime of "Child Annoyance" Pen Code 647.6, and these people, as warped or deranged as Prosecutors and Media wish to exploit them, they seem to be seeking assistance yet, No One, No Doctor, No Therapist, No Counselor, No Prosecutor, No Law Enforcement Agent, No Judge seem to try to help, they simply lock people up, and then dump them back in the neighborhoods,
Why ?, because there is very Big Money in Prosecution and in Housing, and with failed attempts to educate the Public, it is simpler to call all Sex Offenses "Predatorial" (instigating Fear, Emotion and Hatred) most of these individuals have been labeled "Child Molesters" but if asking a knowledgeable authority, they would agree that a Rapist, either Statutory or Forced is in fact much more injurious to the victim than the idea of a visual offense, as the fact that "Indecent Exposure" is a visual offense that is presented to the Public, through the media and other means as a deranged action by a sinister and warped individual, I no longer share that perception as I have spoken to and consulted with these individuals and they have also shown huge amounts of compassion, sympathy and remorse.
consider also the History of Sex Offenses, there are documented cases of incest, (Bible), During Roman empire, Gladiators took young males and used them as Sex Slaves, and the History clearly shows both Sex's (Male & Female) having practiced behavior that today would be classified as Criminal, which leaves Psychologist and Psychiatrist divided in their believes, if this behavior is hereditary or genetic, and if this behavior is either "Hereditary or Genetic" are We as professionals, addressing this issue correctly or are We falling victim to political correctness.
these are facts not opinions and I hope to be assisting others in addressing the truths and the facts that We need to assist rather than Punish, and We need to include rather than exclude for recovery.
