Wisconsin currently treats sex offenders with more care and effort than it treats offenders that are purely violent, and it's time that changed.
Criminal law is designed to be a crime and punishment system. If someone commits a crime, we have established punishments to accomplish clearly articulated goals — including punishment of the offender, protection of the community and deterrence for others considering the same conduct. In other words, the punishment is designed to stop the offender from repeating his criminal conduct and make other offenders stop before committing their own criminal conduct. The criminal theory relies on the fact that crimes are committed by choice — which theory is evidenced by our willingness to provide a special defense for those who we consider "not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect," (commonly referred to as NGI). For most of the criminal …

Ozaukee County Sheriff's Department caught the Waukesha man after assuming identity of the 15-year-old girl.
Judge Tom Wolfgram set bail on Wednesday for the Waukesha man accused of having sex with a 15-year-old Ozaukee County girl at $100,000, despite requests from Attorney Adrian Renner for a more "reasonable bail." Wolfgram cited the seriousness of the allegations against Kevin Conry, 120 Cambridge Ave., Waukesha, and the amount of time he faces in prison as reason for the high cash amount, and also ordered no contact with the victim of any kind. Conry has lived in Wisconsin for the past 20 years and has been employed full-time for the past three, Renner said, in asking for a lower bond. "He doesn’t net a large amount each month — he is in the process of a divorce and his home is in foreclosure, which is why his resources for bail are limited …
