Just some two-bit advocacy group looking for cheap publicity. Evin Daly, whoever the hell he is, deserves to be castrated. I feel sorry for his children, if he has any. What a lousy excuse for a sack of bioplasm. This group sounds like the PETA of child-advocacy organizations.
By the way, any legislator who voted for a sex-offender registry law that puts men on the rolls for looking at pictures of child abuse should be summarily executed as well. I've looked at pictures of abuse for my job before, as well as for academic projects; the thought that I could have been registered as a sex offender -- as a precautionary measure -- for this is appalling and revolting.
By the way, Mr. Daly, Townshend is a former registered sex offender. He's no longer on the registry. Why should he continue to be treated as something he is not?

Exactly. He's a former registered sex offender who, most of all, was never actually convicted.
But when it comes to child abuse and child pornography, you're marked for life.
Given, they have a big fall back rate, but as soon as they've paid for what they've done, they still continue to be outcasts and cast-offs.
I recall that we had to write an argumental piece (elucidation?) on a site that listed sex offenders for life and in public. From 30 people in my class, only 2 didn't agree with the site. I was one of them. And I felt it afterwards. Lol.
Again, it hasn't even come that far in this case. The man hasn't been convicted. He hasn't abused anyone according to the law. It's just ridiculous that any kind of accusation gets you on that list, although I like the intention of it. These people should be followed at first, with, again, the high fall back rate.
It's a difficult subject.
Anyway, I don't know what to say about this group. "It sends the wrong message"? What wrong message are they sending here?
