Convicted Oklahoma child molester moves next door to victim

[EC]

A convicted Oklahoma child molester has moved next door to his victim.

Harold English, who recently got out of prison, moved in with his mother in the town of Bristow. His mother's property is next to his victim’s home, KFOR-TV reported Tuesday. English, who is the victim's step uncle, was convicted in 2015 of molesting the girl when she was little.

“When you have to see it, I can only imagine what it does to my daughter when she’s there and she has to witness it,” the victim's mother told the station. “She shouldn’t have to. Very heartbreaking.”

Oklahoma law prohibits sex offenders from living near schools or public grounds, but it does not stop convicts from living next door to their victims, according to News On 6.

The law needs to be changed so perps, if released,  can be nowhere near their victims. It would be even better if they were incarcerated forever.

The only way that would happen if I was in charge would be if he had a surgical operation prior to his release.

Good question.

This is one I just don't have the heart to research.

Likely because of a sympathetic judge.

When Danyelle Dyer was 7 years old, her uncle Harold English sexually abused her, resulting in English being convicted in 2002. Now 21, Dyer had hoped to put the ordeal behind her, but now she’s forced to deal with it every day, now that English is out of prison—and living in the house next door to her....

The good news is now at age 21, the original victim can carry a handgun.
