Timothy Boggs to be Released in Sacramento County...Why???
Timothy Boggs is to be released in Sacramento County sometime today. My first question is why is he being released? My next question is why in Sacramento?
Sexually violent child sex predator Timothy Lee Boggs is scheduled to be released in Sacramento County later today. Where he lives is up to him, with few exceptions.Boggs, 52, was ordered released two weeks ago by a Sacramento County Superior Court judge. Boggs has convictions for molesting two 9-year-old Sacramento-area boys in the 1980s. He served 13 years in a treatment program at Atascadero State Hospital. By law, a convicted sex offender must be returned to the county where the crime was committed.
When Boggs is released, he will wear a satellite-tracking device on his ankle. He'll also be given his schedule for finishing the mandatory final phase of his treatment program and have to agree to drug and alcohol testing. However, he will be released to his attorney to live where he chooses, according to the state Department of Mental Health.
Boggs' release has prompted elected officials in Elk Grove, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, and Galt to pass ordinances prohibiting sexually violent child predators from being within a certain distance of where children congregate, such as schools, day care centers, parks, youth sports complexes and video game arcades. Legal experts say, however, such efforts are not enforceable. There will be other enforceable restrictions though, including a state law that prohibits a convicted sex offender from being within a quarter-mile of any K-12 school.
Boggs was scheduled for release in May 2005 but the Department of Mental Health reported it could not find suitable housing for him. The agency said it made 269 contacts into housing for Boggs but none developed into a suitable location.
Boggs will have five days to register as a sex offender with local and state law authorities. The Department of Mental Health said it has hired 24-hour private security to keep him under surveillance until he completes registration.
It is my understanding that California state law requires that the person must be returned to the county in which the crime was committed. I am asking that this be addressed by state lawmakers. I will follow this up with additional postings.
Now the degenerate wants to live in Natomas. I live in Natomas with my family. One has to wonder what the why this person scumbag is even able to live. It is no secret I have ZERO tolerance when it comes to crimes against kids. It's a simple law, rape a child, and die.
(CBS 13) SACRAMENTO The attorney for convicted sex offender Timothy Boggs says the state is holding his client illegally and he should be released immediately.Boggs was supposed to be released more than a year ago but the state says they've been unable to find property owners willing to allow Boggs to live on their land. Now local bounty hunter Leonard Padilla has offered to let Boggs live in a trailer on a 60-acre parcel along the west side of Interstate 5 in Natomas. But the land is adjacent to a gated community and residents there say the idea makes them uneasy.
Boggs' attorney says he's been treated and isn't a danger to the public.
Great Boggs' attorney says he is isn't a danger to the public, that makes me feel safe, ya right....

|| Posted by pappy, July 28, 2006 11:17 AM ||the problem lies in a the soft and squishy elitist State judges who have no reservations with releasing demented and dangerous monsters back into society. These judges are the real problem. They live in such a protected and sheltered environment that the only way they they can feel good about themselves is to use our neighborhoods as criminal rehab centers.
Giving Bogg Access to an area impacted with children is evil. I believe that judges who release dangerous repeat offenders like this should be given a censure by the state legislature - if Boggs repeats.
