Idaho Woman Starts Petition to Increase Sex Offender Laws
Shasta Groene is calling on lawmakers to create a law regarding strikes for sex offenders. Groene has created a Change.org petition in which she is seeking 2,500 signatures and will be sent to Governor Butch Otter as well as Senator Mike Crapo.
Groene, a survivor of a tragedy caused by sex offender Joseph Duncan, in which Duncan kidnapped her and her younger brother as well as killed her mother, mother's fiance, and older brother.
The following statement is from Groene's petition:
“My name is Shasta Groene. I am 19 years old and I am seeking out a way for, not only my voice to be heard, but other victims. When I was 8, my mother, stepfather and 13-year-old brother, Slade, were murdered, and my brother, Dylan, and I were kidnapped from our homes by a level 3 sex offender named Joseph Edward Duncan the third. He was charged many times before my situation and was let out again and again. I would like this petition to change that. One strike for a sex offender should be enough! Never let them back on the streets to reoffend. This isn’t a disease! It’s a sick twisted person who cannot be helped or fixed. The system failed me and my family and I’m going to do whatever it takes to put an end to the psychos running the streets.”
