Put his A$$ back in jail for contesting the judge's condition of release.

Tier 3 was a condition of his early release parole and registering every 3 months is not a severe penalty. If he doesn't like the conditions, send him back to jail.

He's a serious pedophile sex offender for many years starting down in Canton when he worked in their schools. He should have never been released early in the first place.

I agree. He made the deal and now he wants to renegotiate the terms. My thought is that he can be off the list if he goes back to jail. Sounds fair to me.

My personal thoughts are "Too Bad!!" As a teacher/coach he was entrusted with a most precious commodity, our children & he violated the child & his public trust! He should sit in jail forever & rot.

However,as a point of law an offender sentenced under an existing law often cannot be penalized twice so to speak by a change in law occurring after the offender is sentenced.

We should either keep these offenders in jail for the rest of their lives, or let them serve their time and leave them be when released.

These registration laws are a wishy washy bandaid approach to a bigger problem.

If I was the judge, I would put his a$$ back into jail until the Tier 3 issue is resolved. He knew what was required for his early release and didn't follow the conditions of his early release.

This fellow has a history of preying on vulnerable children. He got his "pass" when Canton Schools covered up his behavior. I feel not one iota of sympathy for him.

"Brown, 42, was released from the Summit County Jail this month on shock probation after serving nearly eight months in prison for sexual battery in a 2006 incident involving a 17-year-old girl. As part of the release order, Common Pleas Judge Marvin A. Shapiro classified Brown as a Tier 3 sex offender, the highest level under the new state sex offender law."

So now ... After he received shock probation and was released from prison early ... He wants special treatment again. Oh ... Cry me a river. He should have thought about the consequenses of his actions before he took his pants down not after!!

And another thing ... Am I the only one that is appalled when they see some pervert walking out of court or prison with their ever supportive wife on their arm?? I mean ... Don't these women have any pride? Kick the perv to the curb where they belong ...

I couldnt agree more. He is a sick, old nasty perv and now he wants to cry because we can easly look his behind up and find out where he lives, not that I care... I live on the other side of town, but the fact still remains the same, he is a scum bag for all the years he got away with having sex with those young girls.
Then I'm stating to think, what kind of morals does his wife have to even taking his sorry a** back?????

I knew if I waited long enough OMG would have a position that makes sense. If he doesn't like the conditions, go back to jail. The fact he contests his agreed upon punishment indicates a lack of remorse.

Actually, Just the opposite is true. Through the prosecutor's proffer of and agreement to the terms of the plea bargain, the State "made the deal" and is now seeeking to alter the terms of that "deal" based upon the change in law that took effect AFTER he was sentenced. He is simply arguing that under these facts, imposing the more onerous reporting requirements upon him would violate the ex post facto double jeopardy provisions of the Constitution. And its a pretty good argument.

From the article:

"As part of the release order, Common Pleas Judge Marvin A. Shapiro classified Brown as a Tier 3 sex offender, the highest level under the new state sex offender law.

It means that Brown must register his address with the county sheriff every 90 days for the rest of his life.

But when Brown pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual battery April 11, there was a different sex offender law in effect. And his registration requirements then were not nearly as ''onerous'' as they are now, defense lawyer Paul F. Adamson said in his court filing.

The civil suit, filed Friday in Common Pleas Court, asks for a hearing, in addition to a preliminary injunction preventing the sheriff from enforcing the Tier 3 penalties against Brown.

Under terms of Brown's plea agreement in April, he was classified as a sexually oriented offender. As such, he was required to register his address with the sheriff once a year for 10 years.

Brown was notified of the change in the sex-offender laws in mid-December, while he was still in prison, and the resulting reclassification was ''improper and unconstitutional,'' Adamson said in the filing.

Not only was the reclassification a violation of the ex-post-facto provisions of the U.S. Constitution, it also was a violation of the double-jeopardy clauses of the U.S. and Ohio constitutions, Adamson said."

He got out early because Judge Shapiro granted him shock probation. That being the case, the judge should also have the discretion to classify him as a Tier 3 offender. This wasn't the first time this guy has pulled this kind of stuff, as his history with the Canton schools shows.

Isn't Shapiro a big Rusty Pry supporter? It all fits doesn't.
