Sand Springs Lawmaker Wants Death For Repeat Child Molesters
Posted: Aug 14, 2009 10:28 AM CDT
TULSA, OK -- A state lawmaker from Sand Springs wants repeat child molesters to face the death penalty. Representative Rex Duncan plans to introduce legislation that would allow the death penalty for sentencing if someone is convicted of a sex crime involving children more than once. The announcement comes on the heels of the arrest of Marcus Berry, Senior, a two-time sex offender who avoided jail time despite being accused of failing to register.
Laws enforcement officials say a loophole in state law saved Marcus Berry,Senior, from going to jail for failing to register as a sex offender. And, it looks like that loophole is about to close.

Beginning on November 1st, if a sex offender can't provide an address they have to report to law enforcement once a week to let them know where they will be staying.
Randy Lopp of the Oklahoma Coalition for Sex Offender Management says the sex offender registration laws actually do more harm than good. He says they prevent sex offenders from recovering and getting stability in their lives.
"We've got to figure out ways to help them find stable living so that they can register, so they can be in compliance," said Randy Lopp with the Oklahoma Coalition for Sex Offender Management.
