Lika's Law 4 Wisconsin: Demand Real Sentencing 4 Child Sex Offenders!

Background issues to support stiffer punishments on those who sexually perpetrate our children:

As advocates who make hospital visits for those who go in for E.R. for sexual assaults, we see that way too often, the male perpetrators of female children are let out way too easily by the judicial system. Those who perpetrate our children need to be kept away from not only their victims, but other children as well, to prevent future child victims by the same perpetrator, especially if the offender is a classic pedophile (no gender preference).

Case #1:

A man was charged with a sexual assault on a child back in 2005.

In 2013, he sexually assaulted his 4 year old son. He served 1.5 years.

He then went to live with a friend in 2015, and subsequently, sexually assaulted his friend’s 5 and 6 year old children.

These children were threatened, forced to use sex toys on themselves and each other, then forced perform sex acts with him and with each other.

He was set to serve a life sentence, and only served 2 years.

His most recent victim is a 16 year old girl, who he strangled her during the rape, and is looking at 9 counts of felony charges.

Although he was ordered to stay away from all minor children, since he took both male and female victims, he violated this grossly.

This is not the only case, it’s just one of many examples of those who perpetrate female children, already do not get stiff enough sentencing, as described above.

Case #2:

We, again as advocates, understands that sexual abuse by a teacher or other person of power is damaging, and is just as if not more damaging to teenage boys.

Because of the the maturity and understanding of this type of relationship has negative consequences on our young boys, since it is assumed that all boys want and enjoy sex from teachers or other leaders of groups they participate in.

There are also few supports in place for the male children to get support, therapy, and long term help to get through the situation.

As if the sentencing on those who perpetrate female children isn’t strong enough, there are even fewer sentencing among female sex offenders who target our children.

This is why we demand that upon the first arrest for sexual assaults on children must go through a 2-3 year in house therapy action for sex offenders to be let out into the public, upon being deemed low risk (not safe) by those in charge of the programs. If

We, the undersigned citizens and residents of the State of Wisconsin, urge your support of Lika’s Law, to put in stiffer penalties in place for all sex offenders, both male and female, who perpetrate our children. The psychological and emotional damage to their child victims are too great to keep allowing these perpetrators off with little to no consequence. As our elected officials, we urge you to support these measures:

A)    A 2 – 3 year in-house therapy program to instill in them the reasoning to why their actions are/were wrong.

B)    For refusal to go through the program, the sentence will not be counted until they go into the program.

C)    Strong mandates keeping the released perpetrators away from children, to prevent further victimization from happening.

D)    If they are a parent, lose placement/custody with only supervised visitations, to prevent repeated offenses on their children.

they do not complete this program in house, there is a great likelihood that they will not do it on their own, just to assault more child victims, which is why it needs to be in-house. If they refuse, the clock keeps getting reset until the offender cooperates and starts the anti-abuse therapy sessions and finish the program successfully before they get out. They must also be mandated to stay away from minor children, and if a parent, have placement/custodial rights removed, permanently. If visitation is allowed, by case by case situation, the visitation must be supervised by a trusted adult who will protect the children and not let the offender out of their site while the children are present.
