NEW YORK, Ny — Imprisoned sex offenders are free to have conjugal visits in a handful of states, including New York and New Mexico, where one convicted killer and rapist has married twice and fathered four children from behind bars.
Exasperated lawmakers told FoxNews.com that letting sex offenders, including violent rapists and child predators, have intimate contact with visitors while serving their sentences sends the wrong message. But they said they doubt anything can be done about it.
“I think it’s ridiculous that this is done on public property, why should there be a reward system like this,” New York State Sen. Martin Golden, a former police officer, said. Golden said he any attempt to repeal this program would likely pass the New York Senate but fail in the assembly.
“The assembly would never vote on something they feel would hurt an inmate,” he said.
