Sex Offender Probation Violations

This week I tried two sex offense probation cases with different results. The critical issue in both cases is what is incidental contact with a minor child. Rule 9 of the special rules of sex offender probation does not define incidental contact with a minor child. according to two probation officers incidental contact is contact with a minor for over 3 seconds. In one case it was a phone call. In the second case the contact was a Kroger's. The bottom line is it is impossible to comply with the terms of probation. Also, some judges don't care about getting defendants treatment because it is easy to violate someone. I hope to post more thoughts on how to survive sex offender treatment in the future.
