There seems to be disagreement among professionals about what constitutes a re-offense. For example, does re-offense mean an arrest, a conviction, or probation violation? And, of course, no one, except the perpetrators and the victims really know what that rate is. What is clear is that it is underreported. Whether the rate (including perpetrators in regular group “therapy” and I also use quotes) is 50% or .5% the possibility that convicted child molesters will continue to troll for and abuse children is too high. As for specifics, Steven Sitler was jailed in Latah County for almost a year and did in fact drive himself (alone), to the Lewiston/Clarkston area regularly for “therapy.” And yes, there were controls in place in terms of time driving and mileage etc. nonetheless, it was, in my opinion, a risky situation. I ask you and other 2020 contributors, as I did the leaders of Christ Church who support him in his upcoming marriage, would you allow Steve Sitler, given his horrendous history of child molestation, unlimited, unsupervised access to your young children? No therapeutic professional would guarantee that Mr. Sitler, or others with similar criminal histories, can be “cured” consequently no thoughtful adult should trust him around any children. And, yes, I would gladly pay more in taxes to keep offenders with a history like Mr. Sitler’s in jail until he is 80 years old. His life time <b>probation</b> offers absolutely zero protection to his potential victims. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rose Huskey<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
