    The address shown on the link is in the Van Metre apartments not the townhouses.

    Since the offense is carnal knowledge, I'm guessing it was consensual...as the parent of two young men it scares me to see how some of these 14/15 year old girls act and dress...

    That's a very large guess, don't you think?

    And why would you turn it around to say a 13 year old girl dressed in a way to provoke it, when you apparently have no idea?

    She said consensual - not "provoked"

    Which part scares you?

    That a 14/15 year is acting in a way that may seduce your two young men?
    Or that they might have consensual sex, but end up on a sex offenders list?
    Not judging you on either, but you may want to reword that...

    i can see what she's talking about- girls today are far more brazen and forward than ever before. watch a Disney show with tweeners on it and you'll see- they are NOT Laura and Mary Ingalls anymore.

    clothes are tighter and smaller, skirts are shorter- and the girls are BOLD. that is not AT ALL to say that they are "asking" for it- it's to say they aren't even looking OUT for it. they dress in a way that attracts attention, and when it comes they aren't even recognizing the danger of it in some cases.

    as a teen i wore some pretty risque outfits, but what i wore would be considered tame or no big deal nowadays! desensitized to those that would to them harm- that's a huge problem.

    According to the CODE, it is consensual.

    And not to defend or indict, but who knows how old the kid was when it occurred. He is 20 now, could it have happened 1-2 years ago? According to the parts of the code, there has to be 3 year difference in age.

    Yea, I've known people who were 18 and slept with their 17 year old girlfriend and gotten this charge. It's a shame really... but I don't know this dude from Adam so take it however you like.

    Interesting - http://www.wtopnews.com/?nid=25&sid=1497629

    Does Virginia have anything like this that these types of offenders are required to do? We used to live across the street from a sex offender (thankfully not child related), but I do recall that every Halloween he (and his wife) would turn their lights off and not answer the door. He didn't have a sign on his door or windows or anything like that though.

    I think this is a great idea. Short of that, what our street has done (having a sex offender living in our midst) is make sure that through word of mouth, everyone is aware of the situation and to avoid that particular home. Also, living in a 'square' cul-de-sac, it has become tradition for as long as I remember living here, that many of the adult neighbors will congregate on our driveway (we're in the far corner of the square, directly next door to the home in question), and turn the evening into a social event. A few of the parents take a group of kids from our street out trick-or-treating, while the remainder stay in the driveway, setup chairs, drinks, snacks, and their bowls of candy. Kids visiting our section can basically do 6-7 homes in one visit to our driveway. Kids love it, because they get this huge influx of candy in one visit. Parents love it since it's all out there in the open, and it gives them a few minutes of interaction with neighbors they might not see on a daily basis.

    Short answer is, in our particular case, we've taken the situation into our own hands and turned it into something positive for our street. The kids are protected, and the offender doesn't have to deal with as many kids knocking on his door. Those that do make it to the door are in direct view of a group of adults.

    As a side note, at least in last year's case, the offender made it a point to leave for the evening. Was it related to all this, who knows, but it made our job easier, and in a way, protected the offender.

    My recommendation would be to look up all offenders in the registry, and if any reside on your 'route', make sure to avoid those homes. And just have fun!

    The State Probation Officer assigned to work the sex offender caseload used to (and may still) tell all his offenders that they were prohibited from answering the door on Halloween and had to keep lights off. He would fill out warrants for all his sex offenders on Halloween, then he would go ring their doorbells. If they answer the door, they get arrested. If they don't, he shreds the warrant. I know at least one year he had no arrests...

    I think at least one year, Loudoun County local probation held a mandatory attendance movie night for their sex offenders on halloween. I don't know if they still do this.

    Just trying to keep the streets safe for the kids.

    I am surprised that no one challenged this. How could a PO order a person not to open up their door when an adult is ringing their door bell when the conviction involves children. Unless the court order is for the offender to avoid contact with all humans???? :confused:

    I wonder if this is one of those urban myths.

    A PO (adult) tells you not to open your door for kids. Ok that is understandable considering the conviction. The PO adult rings your door bell and then arrests you for opening your door to an adult? :screwy:

    Sounds a little suspect to me. Can't believe a judge would back this up.

    I'm not sure what I can and can't post here, so I'll just say that it appears a new offender has moved into our area according to the VA State Police Sex Offender Registry. I got a notice from Family Watch Dog.

    Go to this webpage and enter 20148 as the search criteria to see the people who live or work in our zip who are registered...

    On the other hand one can probably get arrested for not opening their door for their probation officer. :screwy:
