King Family Campaigns For Tougher Sex Offender Laws

The meeting at Maranatha Chapel in 4S Ranch began with a prayer, then a 10-minute video presentation that showed Chelsea growing from a baby into a piano- and French horn-playing youngster to a pretty teenager having lighthearted fun with friends, mugging for the camera and enjoying family outings.

Following the video, Chelsea's parents, Brent and Kelly King, took the stage, and the father explained the purpose of the nonprofit Chelsea's' Light Foundation, which they created following their daughter's murder.

"Everyone of us in this audience has a voice," Brent King said. "Moms have a voice; dads have a voice; grandparents have a voice; men have a voice; women have a voice. A voice gives us power. The only ones who don't have this power are children. That's what Chelsea's Light is about. We will bring a voice to our children."

RANCHO BERNARDO: Hundreds gather to shape Chelsea's Law
Attendees offer opinions to lawmakers ahead of proposed sex-offender legislation
March 30, 2010 10:12 pm
<snipped>
Hundreds of people gathered at a Tuesday evening forum in Rancho Bernardo to help shape "Chelsea's Law," a proposed state law that would review and tighten restrictions on sex offenders in California.

"We have the right to alter the (U.S.) Constitution to say that the minute he touched a child he had no rights," Sabre Springs resident Tom Meyers said to a standing ovation and thunderous applause. "He sacrificed that right. We have to change our Constitution to say if you touch a child, you have lost every right in that Constitution."

The state Assembly's Select Committee on Prisons and Rehabilitation Reform announced Tuesday that it will hold a hearing at 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Poway City Council Chambers to look for ways to strengthen California's parole system in the wake of the deaths of Chelsea and Amber Dubois, whose remains were found in Pala on March 6, more than a year after the 14-year-old disappeared while walking to Escondido High School.

Kelly King addressed the audience at the close of the meeting. "My heart is not broken, it's shattered," she said. "The system is not broken, it's shattered.

"When something is shattered, it has to be recreated, it has to be built from the ground up. We thank you for helping us do that."

Violent sex offenders deserve life without parole, official says
March 31, 2010 at 12:04 a.m.
<snipped>
Hundreds of people heard a call for action last night at a public forum hosted by the parents of slain Poway teen Chelsea King and a local lawmaker who plans to soon introduce a bill in Sacramento designed to strengthen laws against sex offenders.

Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, R-San Diego, said Chelsea’s Law will have as its starting point the simple premise that “a sexual offender that targets a child is not someone who can be rehabilitated.”

Fletcher and others said the sorrow, grief and anger that has followed the death of Chelsea must be channeled into something positive. What the bill will call for exactly is still being developed, but Fletcher said “gaps” in current laws and the way they are enforced have been identified.

He said a cornerstone of the law should be life sentences without the possibility of parole for violent sexual predators as well as lifetime parole for those who do manage to get out of prison.

He also said “safe zones” should be created which convicted sex offenders will be forbidden to enter. Fletcher said laws now forbid offenders from living within a certain distance of a park, for instance, but there is nothing preventing them from sitting in that park all day.

More mentally ill sex offenders freed on parole
Lawmakers seek audit of mental health agency
March 31, 2010 at 12:04 a.m.
<snipped>
The system that decides whether mentally ill sex offenders are too dangerous to be freed when their prison terms end has seen a tenfold increase in cases since the passage of Jessica’s Law in California three years ago.

But the number of inmates who get committed to an institution has barely budged, according to an analysis of state data by The San Diego Union-Tribune.

One reason is the volume of prison referrals rejected by the California Department of Mental Health. In 2005, the agency approved 45 percent of cases on initial review. That number has fallen steadily, to 17 percent last year.

That trend is one of the reasons a state lawmaker on Tuesday asked for an audit of the government agency responsible for screening offenders.

Trula LaCalle, executive director of the California office of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, said she could not speak to Fletcher’s concerns because she has no firsthand knowledge of interactions between prison and mental-health officials.

But “the Department of Mental Health is overwhelmed in all areas,” LaCalle said. “Mental Health has been underfunded in this state for decades. The laws themselves may not be the problem. The problem is implementation.”

With a crucial meeting approaching, a state advisory panel charged with reviewing whether the prison system failed Poway teenager Chelsea King is almost at full strength.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who directed the Sex Offender Management Board to review how the state handled her accused killer’s sentencing and parole for a previous crime, appointed two Democrats yesterday 3/30to the panel. One is a district attorney, the other a former police detective.

The appointments came the day after The San Diego Union-Tribune reported on how the board is plagued by poor attendance, noting that two seats sat empty because of the lack of gubernatorial appointments.

The board will meet April 8 to launch its inquiry. Recommendations are expected about May 1.

In high-profile criminal cases, how much information to release is a key issue
In Hemet, Lt. Duane Wisehart said he tried to provide information about the attacks without sensationalizing it.
March 31, 2010
<snipped>
When providing information about the string of attacks against a Hemet-based gang task force, Lt. Duane Wisehart said he tried to provide just the facts. But the story then grew and the number of reporters calling for information and interviews kept climbing. The story was becoming a national, the subject of segments on CNN and Fox News, and politicians – some who are running for higher office — were adding their sometimes fiery rhetoric to the discussion.

The issue brings up a question Wisehart and other law enforcement agencies face when they provide information on high-profile criminal cases: How much information should be released and can you cause a panic or create an unfair view of a community or organization by releasing too much?

It is the same issue authorities in San Diego County, where a Lake Elsinore man has been arrested in connection with the killing of Poway teenager Chelsea King. John Albert Gardner III, a convicted sex offender, is also suspected in the killing of Escondido teenager Amber Dubois, although he has not been charged with anything in connection with her killing.

San Diego County officials have said very little information about their respective investigations, but news media outlets have been able to piece together information about Gardner and his criminal past. The killings have made national headlines and led to debate about how the criminal justice system deals with sex offenders.

enny Peterson, president of the California Association of Public Information Officials, said information officers are often faced with releasing information about their agency or municipality that is not flattering. Peterson, communications officer for San Marcos in San Diego County, said the association advocates transparency when it comes to information. “No matter what, it’s better to get the information out there,” she said.

Gardner had MySpace page despite parole rule
Accused killer's terms of release banned use of the Internet
March 31, 2010 at 6:18 p.m., updated March 31, 2010 at 8:44 p.m
<snipped>
His screen name was Jason the Stud, and he called himself the Energizer Bunny. He used sexually charged language when describing his interests. He listed his hometown as the Playboy Mansion and he called love “one big ugly compromise of two people pretending not to know what the other is doing.”

John Albert Gardner III, the convicted sex offender now accused of raping and killing Poway teenager Chelsea King, opened a MySpace page in December 2007 — even though according to terms of his parole he was not allowed anywhere near a computer.

Gardner’s MySpace account was discovered by Robert Scott, a Los Angeles private investigator who operates an online data-retrieval service called Skip Smasher. It was taken down tonight after this story was first posted online. Scott said he was demonstrating his service to potential clients at a workshop last week and plugged Gardner’s name into one of his search engines. An e-mail account registered to the suspect popped up.

The Los Angeles investigator was quickly able to link the e-mail address to the MySpace account. Just as quickly, he was able to confirm that it belonged to the accused killer by matching Gardner’s date of birth, Escondido address and postings from a girlfriend. “If we were able to find his MySpace page, then (parole agents) should have been able to find his MySpace page,” Scott said. “That’s what they’re getting paid to do. That’s what their job is.”

In addition to Skip Smasher, two other online data services confirmed Gardner’s connection to the Yahoo e-mail account used to open the social-networking account, according to documents obtained by The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Executives from social-networking sites are well aware that their products are used by sex offenders. In 2007, MySpace announced it was purging almost 30,000 accounts created by registered sex offenders. But with more than 600,000 registered sex offenders across the nation, and the population growing every day, it is difficult to exclude them completely.

States are beginning to regulate computer use by convicted sex offenders too. In December, Facebook and MySpace closed accounts for more than 3,500 sex offenders in New York State, according to Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. The action was taken under a state law known as e-STOP, the Electronic Securing and Targeting of Online Predators Act, which bans sex offenders from using social-networking sites and requires them to register all e-mail addresses with the state.

Gardner’s MySpace page lists “CSI” and “Bones” as two of his favorite television shows. His last posting illustrates one criticism of residency restrictions for sex offenders that lead to instability when they are released into society. “I’m poor, homeless and living in my truck,” it says.

Gardner last logged in on Feb. 24, the day before Chelsea went missing.

In a 2007 addendum to the release conditions for John Albert Gardner III related to computer use, Gardner initialed both conditions. He opened a MySpace account three months later.

POWAY: State officials discuss reforms, parole supervision of Gardner
March 31, 2010
<snipped>
The mechanics and realities of California's parole system, particularly regarding its handling of the man accused of killing Chelsea King, fell under a microscope Wednesday in Poway during a hearing before two state legislators.

Among the facts state Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, R-San Diego, said he was shocked to learn: An assessment test given to accused killer John Albert Gardner III showed he was at low risk to commit new sex crimes. On a 1-to-10 scale, with 10 as the highest risk to commit another offense, Gardner scored a 2. "We need to take a look at this system," Fletcher said. "Somehow they filtered his crime, and him as a person, and came out with a 2 on the scale of 1 to 10? That's shocking."

The number of parolees that agents monitor is changing. Until recent months, the state monitored nearly every person fresh from prison, with most staying on parole for three years. Under that system, the average parole agent monitored 70 parolees.

But budget cuts and state legislation now mean that lower risk ex-cons can skip formal parole ---- which means no routine checking in with parole agents, who will concentrate on watching the higher risk parolees. The average caseload will be 48 parolees per agent.

Torrico said he was surprised to learn that the assessment the state uses to gauge the recidivism risk of sex offenders does not give greater consideration as to whether the victim was a child. It is the same assessment that assessed Gardner as a level 2 risk.

"They are going to need to come up with a new assessment tool. This tool to determine sexual predators is wholly inadequate," Torrico said after the hearing. "If you don't have an immediate red flag for someone who has committed a sexual offense against someone that is a child, then that assessment is garbage."

Panel grilled on form used for Gardner
April 1, 2010 at 12:05 a.m.
<snipped>
When convicted sex offender John Albert Gardner III was on parole in 2007, he was evaluated with a new state form for measuring recidivism risk. He got a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the most dangerous.

Now that he stands accused of raping and killing Poway teenager Chelsea King, the state’s scoring system has drawn criticism as one of many issues in Gardner’s case that could have been handled more aggressively.

Karen Franklin, an El Cerrito psychologist who specializes in the evaluation and treatment of criminal defendants, called it “just a little better than a coin flip.” Yet Jack Wallace, one member of a three-person panel regulating the state’s sex-offender-risk-assessment tools, called the technique “the best thing out there.”

Scott Kernan, undersecretary of operations for the department, noted that there are 2,200 parole agents in California monitoring 110,000 active parolees, about 7,400 of whom are sex offenders. Kernan said the state’s budget to oversee sexual offenders on parole is $60 million, and that it would cost $1 billion for the state to supervise all 70,000 sex offenders.

The corrections officials at the hearing said the Static-99 tool is the most widely used government way of predicting sexual recidivism, but they couldn’t say which other states use it. Wallace said the system’s objective risk measurements make it “considerably better than clinical opinion.”

He said the state began using the Static-99 assessment system before the law mandated its use starting in 2008, but that the panel he serves on would be open to replacing it with anything better that came along. “We have no investment in what tool it is,” Wallace said. “We just would like the best tool for California, period.”

News 8 Investigation: Gardner's MySpace page adds to list of parole violations
Posted: Apr 01, 2010 4:25 AM EDT
Updated: Apr 01, 2010 2:12 PM EDT
<snipped>
Postings on John Gardner's MySpace page indicate his social networking page was online while he was on parole.

A News 8 investigation shined a spotlight on Gardner's MySpace page, which was originally made public on March 11th by crime case enthusiasts posting links on the web site: www.websleuths.com.

On his MySpace page, Gardner uses the aliases "Energizer Bunny" and "Jason the Stud." "I'm poor, homeless and living in my truck," Gardner posted in May 2008 while on parole. The page includes graphic descriptions sex acts and sodomy, as well as comments from his ex-girlfriend, also posted in 2008. "He's not allowed to have access to a computer that has a modem," former parole agent Graham McGruer told News 8.

McGruer was not involved in supervising Gardner, but he said the MySpace web site is an obvious parole violation that somebody missed. "On the MySpace page there were sexually explicit comments," McGruer said. "This is a huge violation, a huge red flag for a sex offender." Corrections officials do admit they completely missed Gardner's MySpace page. "I have no documentation in the (prison) central file or the parole file that we had any knowledge of him having a MySpace account," Kernan said. "This is something that certainly causes a red flag but it's something we didn't know about."

McGruer, the former parole agent, described Gardner's case a different way. "This guy was a pinball going through a pinball machine that missed every one of the breakers," he said. "There were so many things that should have been done and nothing was done."
(A PDF copy of Gardner's MySpace page, which has since be taken down, is posted as a link on this web page).

Chelsea King Murder Suspect Had MySpace Page Despite Parole Rule Barring Him From Web
Thursday, 01 April 2010 7:01PM
<snipped>
The social networking site MySpace said Thursday that it removed the profile of a registered sex offender who is charged with murdering a 17-year-old girl. The company said it worked with the FBI and the San Diego County Sheriff's Department to confirm the profile belonged to John Albert Gardner III, who used a false name, birthday and hometown to register for the account. It removed the profile Wednesday night.

A copy of the profile obtained by The Associated Press uses the names Jason Stud and Energizer Bunny. It uses sexually explicit language to describe his interests, names Playboy Mansion as his hometown and lists "CSI" and "Bones" among his favorite television shows.

MySpace said the account was set up on Dec. 22, 2007, more than nine months before Gardner ended parole on a conviction in 2000 for molesting a 13-year-old neighbor. The account would violate terms of his parole, which prohibited him from using a computer to connect to the Internet or communicate with others.

My Space said it was alerted to the account by law enforcement officials. "MySpace has a zero tolerance policy against registered sex offenders and uses cutting edge technology to identify and delete such profiles from our site," said Hemanshu Nigam, chief security officer of MySpace and parent company News Corp. "For the past several years, MySpace has advocated and testified in favor of federal and state legislation that would empower Web sites to block sex offenders who utilize false identities, like John Gardner, from their communities."

MySpace said Gardner was an infrequent user who had two friends. A posting on the profile in May 2008 read: "I'm poor, homeless and living in my truck." Another posting said "love is just one big ugly compromise of two people pretending not to know what the other is doing."

Chelsea's Law to propose tougher legislation for sexual predators
Fri, Apr 02nd 2010
<snipped>
Parents of Chelsea King are backing Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher's (R-75th District) proposal for a new bill that will impose stricter mandates on convicted sex offenders. They are also calling for greater oversight and accountability of the state's parole system which many believe is failing to crack down on violators.

Last Friday, Chelsea's father told two morning TV news shows that he wants to see laws that restrict registered sex offenders from being around children. "Everything is on the table: longer prison sentences, a better system of probation, a strengthened one-strike provision, changes in our parole system, online reporting, GPS monitoring," Fletcher said at a news conference last week. The assemblyman was unable to be reached at his district office (the Assembly is now in Spring Recess), but his press secretary reiterated to CAIVN that the legislator is exploring all angles, adding, “the direction we are looking to go is definitely in regards to sentence reform and parole reform as well as lifetime GPS monitoring for the most serious sex offenders who are released from prison.”

In 1994, Congress passed the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, placing a mandate on states to adopt sex offender registration laws. Two years later, President Clinton signed Megan's Law, requiring those convicted of sexual crimes against children to register with local authorities. The law also compels each state to make private and personal information on registered sex offenders available to the public. States have the discretion to establish the exact criteria for disclosure.

Robert Ambroselli, Director of Parole Operations recently told San Diego 6 news that monitoring sex offenders was a “community problem” the scope of which reached far beyond his office. “We are a 10% answer in a 100% issue,” he claimed, pointing to the fact that of the estimated 70,000 sex offenders residing in California, only about 7,400 are on parole under his supervision. He also reminded reporters that Gardner was not on parole when he allegedly killed King.   The Undersecretary of Operations for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Scott Kernan told the news channel, "The reality is if an offender has been a monster, like Gardner -- is bent on hurting our children -- nothing that probation, parole, or law enforcement -- as long as he is free -- is going to stop it."

Registered sex offender John Albert Gardner III, the man charged in the death of Poway teen Chelsea King, allegedly hid a MySpace page from state prison officials while under their supervision, it was reported Thursday. The page was opened in December 2007 when the terms of Gardner's parole forbade him from being anywhere near a computer, 10News' media partner The San Diego Union-Tribune reported. According to the newspaper, an e-mail address links the page to an Escondido address where Gardner was living at the time.

10News learned Gardner used MySpace to communicate with his girlfriend, Jariah Baker, and others. Six months before his release from parole, Gardner posted: "Energizer bunny … I'm poor, homeless and living in my truck." Another post by Gardner state: "I used to know love and [now] I have a new look on that situation. Love is just one big ugly compromise of two people pretending to not know what the other is doing. I [realize] this may come as a shock to some but [that's] how I see it [until] proven otherwise."

A preliminary hearing is set for Aug. 4.

Speakers outlined plans for a proposed Chelsea's Law in memory of Chelsea King, whose body was found earlier this month, five days after she disappeared on an afternoon run. The man charged in her death was convicted of molesting a 13-year-old neighbor in 2000.

Republican Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher said Chelsea's Law would require life prison sentences for sexually violent child predators and lifetime parole for less serious offenders. The law would bar parolees from schools, parks and bus stops.
