Couldn't agree more! If Jones, nor Pagel, did more than this story leads us to believe, we have problems brewing in the 'Boro. Must be time for a change in the leadership of our sheriff's department. Someone tell us more was done to this law breaker!

Sounds like McCullough has better things to worry about... Lemmer broke the law, make the prevert pay, better yet put him in jail for good!

Doesn't "required by the law" mean if he hadn't done it by now that he has already broke the law? Sounds like Sheriff Truman Jones is setting the bar to be a Sheriff real high.

I have often called our local sheriffs dept. The most do nothing police force going. They will come when called, but I have never seen them do anything. They come out stand around for a while then leave, nothing done. Nevermind the car in question was doing nearly 70 in a 30. 19 feet from a group of children playing, nor did the car have any plates or insurance. But all was ok, so they left. (different occurance from the story above)

Okay read the update. The guys not a "pervert" he just made a stupid mistake when he was 19. When I think of a "sex offender" I think of someone who is a predator. When you're 19 and you have sex with your 15 year old girlfriend and you both consent, you're usually not a predator you're just a stupid kid. The girl's parents probably didn't like the guy and so had him charged with statutory rape. Cut the guy some slack.

Now that we know more to the story I don't have much of an issue with the sheriff or Mr. Lemmer.

Thank you for reporting the updated info. Granted he shouldn't have been speeding and did deserve reprecussions for this, but there was obviously lack of communication/understanding on the Sexual Registry List Issue.

By: victimrights on 9/23/08
could have been a plea deal to lessen his charge in most cases a rape charge pleas down to a att rape or even lower if the victim can be persuaded by the d.a so if the registry says att.stat rape chances are it was possiblly a much higher crime on the ladder. so remember the rules plea deal means plea it down to a lessor crime jury or judge conviction means you got the most that a jury or judge felt you deserved for your crime.

My god, people, calm down. He's not a pervert or a child molestor. He had consensual sex when he was a teenager. He didn't rape anybody.

He has reported as required three times in two months. His house burned down; it's not like he was running from anybody.

But more importantly, it says he is elibigle to have his name removed from the list (meaning he's done his time).

This story should have never been printed.

don't think the intention was to highlight the offender as to point out that truman had done something .

Attagirl...please don't use 'god' as a exclamation of disgust. Well at least you were referring to 'God'.

Thanks for further clarifying the story 'Post'. Information is power.
