In 2015, Billingsley was sentenced to 30 years in prison, with 16 years suspended, after he pleaded guilty to a first-degree sex offense, court records show.

The Maryland sex offender registry shows he was released from prison in October. The registry classified him in "tier 3," which includes the most serious charges and requires offenders to register for life.

And I'm saying that what you're wanting is a fairy tale and doesn't actually exist (or at the very least, costs a stupid amount of money and resources that could be much better used by doing literally anything else).

I don't think we're gonna get much further here, so respectfully, I'm going to move on.

Its not a fairy tale, what a fairy tale is you think you gonna get funding to stop people in prison from getting turned out. Not gonna happen.

People don't usually say "im done with this" but the ones that do are pretty pretentious. You think one thing, I think another, it conversion but your just being.. whats the word im looking for? Oh yeah, a dick.

Their is a dark disgusting part of human society that deserve to take dirt nap in my mind its a simple process for a case already litigated to the point that even a person in a coma could tell they did it with malicious intent.

You are looking to be a noble person with only the most noble ideals, "I am noble for not letting this killer be himself killed". How noble of you noble one.

To be frank, you're sounding more and more like a child (and spelling like one, I might add), and I'm losing any interest in continuing to speak with you. If you think every stranger on the internet is obligated to spend an unlimited amount of time on a conversation that's devolving into playground insults, I'm afraid that I simply do not care if someone who can't grasp the idea that the world is a bit more complicated than they imagine thinking that I'm a pretentious dick.

So with that, enjoy prattling on with someone who will listen to you and match your base level of maturity, because I am not one of them.
