The Columbia County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday night arrested a 42-year-old Arkansas sex offender who they say admitted he traveled to Lake City to meet a 17-year-old girl for sex.
These monster are increasing day by day. I don't know if it's them or the minors want to grow up so fast and throwing themselves at these older wo/men.
Swanson was convicted of rape and sexual battery in Arkansas and is listed as a Level 3 sex offender in Arkansas. That state defines a Level 3 offender as offenders with "a history of repeat sexual offending, and/or strong antisocial, violent or predatory personality characteristics. These are individuals whose offense and criminal history require notification throughout the community."News4jax stated that the girl's father called the police to report that he thought his daughter had sexual contact with Swanson. After Swanson was apperhended he confessed that he had traveled from Arkansas to Lake City to have sexual contact with the girl and also stated that he had met the young girl through a chatline. My question is where are her parents when she's on these chatlines and giving older men an open invite to come to her home or home town for sex. I don't thing that it is safe to be over protective of your kids because they are still going to be sneaky and do what they want, but some parents I think should monitor their kids more carefully,especially the minors with these type of people walking around.I think not only should these wo/men be getting in trouble for what they do I truly think the kids should get some type of eye opener or punishment.It's a difference in walking in public and just being lured off and raped and giving an open invite to your house. Many people can't help themselves if they are being raped but these young kids who are offering sex to grown men and women without a hesitation can help themselves because they can avoid that in many ways if they stop trying to grow up before their time. In situations like this both parties are wrong he knew better and she did too. I don't think these sick indivduals should be out and about when they get ready, especially if they have a past and is already registered as an offender.I just hope this new generation of kids slow down before it's too late for them and these grown wo/men stop jumping for the first thing that offers sex to the them.
