PERV Called Out

Jack J. McClellan, 45, enjoys photographing young girls and posting their pictures on websites he maintains for the pleasure of pedophiles according to local news reports here in Southern California. The Santa Monica Police Department took an unusual chance this week by releasing an information bulletin to the public featuring this filthy man's photo, address, vehicle description, license plate and method of operation. Outstanding! The document clearly states he has not yet been convicted of a sexual offense and is not currently wanted. It simply issues a warning to parents to call in any questionable behavior by McClellan to police.

McClellan was recently seen in the children's section of the Santa Monica library and stated on TV he, 'just likes to be around the kids'. Pardon me while I shiver. I really applaud Santa Monica PD for supporting parents' rights to be informed of this deviant's behavior in their own backyards. The backlash of civil rights violations is brewing. This man, straight from the creep-o-torium, has already claimed his privacy is violated and blames police for putting his life in danger when he "and most others like him just like to look at the kids, but haven't crossed the line of doing anything sexual". YET.

When, not if but when, the fine attorney who has no doubt already negotiated a deal with this man crawls out, alleging discrimination, right to privacy and the necessary compensation for severe mental distress caused by this outing, I shall vomit right here all over my keyboard. Please, society, can we just once let the police warn us without worrying about whether the deviant is okay with it? If you'd like to express support of this bulletin to Santa Monica PD, you can email them here.

While the media, police, courts and this particular yanker sort it all out, please be aware that you can look up sex registrants in your area by visiting a Megan's Law website directory, searchable by name, address and zip code. You'll get a photo and offense information for any registrant matching your search. Keep in mind many registrants don't keep current with their obligation to report their addresses to law enforcement, so the lists are not comprehensive. But it's something, nonetheless. If you'd like a nicely packaged report with updates emailed to you when a new perv moves into your area, other sites will do so for a small activation fee and monthly charge, usually about $5.00. For the price of a Starbucks coffee, you can arm yourself with some information vital to your child's safety.
