Antigua & Barbuda to introduce sex offenders registry

6

Public Safety Minister Steadroy “Cutie” Benjamin announced Antigua and Barbuda will introduce a sex-offenders’ registry.

The list will be available to the public, so residents can take “special care” to protect the young and vulnerable persons, he said.

“We are going to make certain also that we shall notify the neighborhoods into which you are going to reside”, the Minister stressed. 

“Mothers, the community must know that this person is a sexual predator”.

“Leave the children alone!”, he asserted saying he will ensure the law introducing the measure is brought before parliament before the end of March 2019.

    • Most of the countries in the world have these registries, including the US., Canada, etc. You are behind the times Alex.

  1. LOOKING FORWARD TO A TRUMP LIKE CHARACTER. BECOMING THE PRIME MINISTER.

    EVERY THING AMERICA DO WE DO MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO. ESPECIALLY THE EDUCATED OR TRAINED ONES.

    WHERE IS THE LIST WITH THE NAMES OF ALK THOES WHO RAPPED MY SISTERS, GRANDPARENTS, AND BROTHERS WAS RAPPED TOO. .. PLEASE START FROM THE BEGINNING AND PRODUCE THAT LIST FIRST….THEIR NEXT OF KIN IS NOW LIVING AMONGST US AND I THINK ITS TIME THAT THE PUBLIC KNOWS WHAT THEIR PARENTS DID…

  2. I don’t like this idea at all. So many men and even women have been falsely accused of sexual crimes. It’s been seen again and again where a person is accused only to have it proven later – sometimes years later – that the person was actually innocent. Creating a sex offender directory and posting it everywhere is just rediculous and stupid. How about a directory of robbers and thief and post it everywhere too? This is needs to be terminated.

  3. Dumb laws by dumb politicians….what are doing in office just copying what other countries do …..everything america do they want do ……build a wall also
