  • No, you provided an example of a man who CLAIMS he was 'just peeing'.

    He was not on the registry for 'public urination'...his charge/conviction was for 2 counts of 'open and gross lewdness'.

    HIS OWN lawyer said (direct quote) "A two-year sentence in this incident is a fairly severe sentence. You'd have to think there's evidence to support that."

    "The National Association to Protect Children, which campaigns for protection against child predators, doesn't buy Matamoros' story.

    The agency's executive director, Grier Weeks, said some sex offenders offer that same explanation -- that they were just relieving themselves.

    Massachusetts is not known as a really tough-on-sex-offenders state," Weeks said. "If they locked up a guy for two months, my guess is there's more to the story."
