It looks like criminals are starting to take advantage of social trends. A convicted child molester is getting out early due to a sex change. Joseph William Smith attacked 15 children under 13 and is now getting a pass because he decided to start the process to become a she. It is not clear whether Joseph has fully become Josie, but he has earned himself leniency.
“The Iowa Attorney General’s Office is no longer seeking the commitment of a former Midwest Christian Services student convicted of myriad sex crimes because the individual now identifies as a woman.
Court records show the state dismissed the application on Jan. 9. Attorney general spokesman Lynn Hicks wouldn’t comment on the reason for the dismissal other than to say “an offender’s hormone levels are an important part of substantiating an offender’s likelihood of recidivism.”
In November, the Storm Lake Times reported that Joseph Matthew Smith, a 23-year-old convicted of molesting a fellow MCS student in 2014, was “undergoing medical treatment that is needed prior to (Smith) potentially undergoing gender reassignment surgery.”
“Lynn Hicks, a spokesperson for the AG’s office says, “We don’t believe we have evidence sufficient to prove Josie Smith has a significant chance of reoffending,” explaining that “an offender’s hormone levels are an important part of substantiating an offender’s likelihood of recidivism.”
Smith was convicted of 2nd-degree sexual abuse against a female victim in 2012, and lascivious acts with a child against a male victim in 2014. The registry does not give the victim’s ages; they are listed as children under the age of 13.
“A preliminary report prepared by the state’s expert, Dr. Jeffrey Davis, says Smith molested as many as 15 victims, ranging from ages 1 to 13, before being sentenced to prison in December 2015,” The Storm Lake Times reported. “The report found the likelihood of re-offending within five years of release exceeded 20% because victims were of both genders, and because Smith was under age 25 and never had a long-term relationship.”
So Josie was attacking both male and female children and a sex change is supposed to fix that? This is B.S. It shouldn’t matter what Williams identifies as, he attacked more than a dozen children, and deserves to be locked away for his full sentence. Where’s the justice?
He should be castrated first !
So who in the hell are we protecting today? The illegals, pedophiles, lawless people, racists, hatred and did I mention pedophiles. WHAT HAPPENED TO PROTECTING CHILDREN??? Both men and woman are pedophiles and you know it. This person can be what he/she wants to be but remember once a sexual predator always a sexual predator. I don’t care what anyone says.
Iowa pedophile no longer considered a threat due to new gender identity? Yeah, and Hillary is going to confess all her crimes, all democrats are going to get lobotomies and Pelosi is going to get psychiatric help!
So, let me get this straight. The child molester is getting his pecker removed and becoming a woman so that means he is redeemed? This freak is going to hurt another child. Take him out and shoot him.
Just because he has a “sex appearance change” operation does not change his behavior or excuse his behavior. He needs to be prosecuted for his crimes. He will undoubtedly continue to abuse children since he is getting away with it.
