After a detailed investigation, Medford police have determined a report of a woman sexually assaulted at Morrison Park Wednesday night was unfounded, according to a department press release.
On Wednesday, March 23, 2011 about 11: 24 p.m, police received a call that a woman had been sexually assaulted in the park, which is located on Central Avenue, according to the release from police Lt. Paul Covino.
At first appearance the incident seemed to be something that required a detailed investigation, Covino said in the statement.
But after investigation in recent days, Medford Police discovered that no crime was committed, Covino said. There will be no charges stemming from the incident.

OT: Texas concerned about cost, flawed risk assessments in Adam Walsh Act

"Lt. Diaz's comment hits the nail on the head: It's "very rare," by any measure, for new sex crimes to be committed by those on the registry, making all the extra supervision for such offenders a quite expensive, if ineffective, dog and pony show. Indeed, from the beginning the concept was flawed: In Texas, our registry was created in a bill dubbed "Ashley's Law," after a past sex offender named Michael Blair was convicted of raping and murdering a girl named Ashley Estell. Mr. Blair turned out to be actually, factually innocent of the Estell murder (he was cleared via DNA). So literally from its inception, Texas' registry was based on a false premise."
That it is very rare for for new sex crimes to be committed by those on the registry indicates that many of them weren't guilty in the first place.
