Child Molesters

Child Molesters

"Beech"	10/16/2004 4:59:04 PM
A recent case involved a convicted Child Molester being "outed" in the workplace. (He is on probation) The form of "outing" was a copy of the Law enforcement's website listing offender's addresses, (publicly available to all on the web) being posted on notice boards (by for now, unknown employees). Can disciplinary action be taken against the employee(s) if discovered? What are the legal grounds for any appeal?

Many pedophile offenses (including some requiring registration under my state's Megan's Law) are misdemeanors. IEZ

Always the exception on the tribal land here, where they are all misdemeanors. At times, though, the feds come in and they will take over jurisdiction. V

Have you ever not been asked prior to a job if you were not convicted of a felony? I was under the impression that is a usual question. V

IANAL - Because of the way you wrote your post - you say the notice was posted by unknown "employee(s)" and then ask if disciplinary action can be taken against the "employee(s)" if discovered - it appears that your question is focused on the employee(s) who posted the notice and NOT on the person convicted. It has always been my understanding that criminal convictions, misdemeanor or felony, are a matter of public record and as such are freely available to anyone who knows how to ask for them. This seems evident from the name being posted on the Law Enforcement Agency's Website. Consequently, since the posting consists of nothing more than the truth I don't see what the employee who posted the information has done wrong. What do you think they did wrong? Gene E.

I was under the impression that is a usual question. It is a standard question in some industries, but working in the computer field I don't remember anybody asking. One employer asked for consent to do a background check. I got another job (not in my usual line of work) with a small business without filling out the standardized employment application form which asked the felony question. In response to the question about whether the crime would have been a felony: there was a high profile murder case around here involving a convicted child molester. One of his previous crimes was plea bargained from indecent assault (felony) to simple assault (misdemeanor), and if he had done nothing else he would have been a child molestor but not a convicted felon. -- John Carr (jfc@mit.edu)
