FINALLY...Execution Considered For Pedophiles

Repeat Child Sex Offenders Could Face Death

Proposal before Senate would allow execution in child assault cases

Columbia, South Carolina -- State senators are considering a proposal that would allow South Carolina to execute those convicted two or more times of sexually assaulting children.

The amendment came as the Senate took up sexual offender legislation crafted in response to a Florida girl kidnapped and killed last year and a week after a Hartsville man was charged with abducting two girls to an underground shelter and assaulting them.

Currently, South Carolina prosecutors can only seek the death penalty for murder with aggravating circumstances. If the proposed amendment by Sen. Kevin Bryant of Anderson passes, South Carolina would join Louisiana as the only other state to allow the death penalty for an offense other than murder, senators said.

"They may never recover from this," Bryant said Wednesday of children who are assaulted. "I say that's just as bad as taking a life."

But other senators worried whether the proposal could endanger the state's death penalty laws and be struck down as unconstitutional.

Sen. Brad Hutto, an Orangeburg lawyer, argued against the amendment, saying it would cause victims' families unnecessary trauma and cost counties unnecessary legal expenses because it could be overturned as unconstitutional.

"To do this is just wrong," he told the Senate.

Hutto said the proposal has senators in a "political bind."

"What this amendment is doing is putting us all in a political bind because who wants to stand up here saying I voted against being tough on child molesters," he said. "Maybe one or two of us would have the political courage to do that but you know it would mean the next 30-second ad against you when you ran the next time saying you didn't vote to be tough on child molesters."

The legislation at the heart of the debate is known as "Jessica's Law," named after a 9-year-old Florida girl allegedly kidnapped and killed last year by a convicted sex offender.

The legislation would allow prosecutors to seek the death penalty if a murder is involved and the defendant was deemed a sexually violent predator. The bill also would require more frequent registrations by those deemed sexual predators and require electronic monitoring once they were released from prison.

Bryant's amendment would deal only with cases in which a defendant is convicted twice of criminal sexual conduct with a child, 11 years old or younger.

The Anderson pharmacist said the rest of the legislation is protected by a clause that would keep the rest of the law intact in the event a higher court overturns his proposal.

He said he drafted his proposal last year, before the Hartsville assaults occurred.

"I think there is strong support for this," he said.

The Senate is to continue debate on the proposal today.

It's about damn time. I'm sick and tired of hearing about how these worthless excuses for humans get out of the pen after serving a year. If you mess around with little children, I say you deserve everything that's coming to you.

And then just do it again...


There is no such thing as rehabilitation for these bastards...They are sexually attracted to children, you can't change that.....That's like trying to 'rehabilitate' a man so that he won't be attracted to women anymore, or vise-versa...It just isn't realistic...

Killing them would do EVERYONE a favor, even the pedophile..

ok, I'm all for someone who fucks little kids a bunch of times getting the chair. But if they're going to do this, then they need to be 100% that they did it, cause usually all there needs to be is an accusation. And shit like an 18 year old guy having sex with his 16 year old g/f shouldn't count (despite that a lot of times it does)

Ok, it's possible somebody is falsely accused but twice? Would somebody really be unlucky enough to be falsely fingered as a pedo and found guilty twice? I don't know, I doubt it. I do think this is a good call though because if they do it twice it just proves that they can't be "fixed"... they're just wired wrong, screwed up in the head. I love how some people say to give them life and not the death penalty because we don't have the right to sentance somebody to death. So we do have the right to sentance them to live in a 10x10 cell untill they die but we can't speed up the process?

I think that in some circumstances a life sentence may in fact be more cruel than the death penalty. I've never been in prison, so I can't speak from direct experience, but I really think I'd rather die than spend the rest of my life trapped within four walls away from my family and everyone I love.

Plus, a life sentence for a pedo is basically the death penalty anyway, when you get right down to it. Everyone knows that the other cons don't take kindly to that sort.

If someone gets one of those bullshit 18 Year Old fucking his 16 year old g/f charges (happens more often than one might think), he's on the pedo list for life, and you can find out easily if a convicted pedophile is living near you, and a) people are quick to jump on the tiniest thing that might cause suspicion (their fault or not), and b) 90% of children are assholes, and could totally fuck up someone's life (or, now, possibly kill them) over quite literally nothing. I take the same stance on this as I do the death penalty in general. In principle, it's fine. Someone fucks some children, give 'em the chair. But the system with which we choose who gets the chair is shitty and flawed.
Odds that a situation like I described above happens? Probably not very likely, but there are plenty of bullshit charges that get lumped into "pedophilia" that could now potentially end up killing someone, and people almost always side with the kid(s)

That's actually legal here.

But yes, I think all pedo's should die for their crime. I also think rapists should have a death penalty if there isn't one already.

A paedophile is a paedophile...I mean, that's someone fucking around with a child, IMO.
If you're old/mature enough to consent in a relationship, say, if you're a both teens and not "technically" over the age considered "legal", I don't think there's a great problem there as long as decisions have been made together and mature precautions are taken. Sure, might not be legal, but I wouldn't consider what Sam said to be the case of a pedo.

It's actually pretty funny here how it works.
The age of consent is 16 for females, and 18 for males. (I think it's 21 for homosexual males, but whatever, not going there)
So here, if a 17 year old girl has sex with her 17 year old boyfriend, technically, she could be charged for doing so.

Again...there's a huge line between that legal red tape type stuff and what I'd perceive as paedophilia...
Death penalty? I dunno...that seems like letting them get off light. If there's evidence, I'd go with life inprisonment under constant isolation. Now THAT is a punishment.
