On Saturday January 10th, 3 time sex offender Alec Ahsoak wins a $500,000 lottery that was designed to benefit a sex abuse victims charity. He later reports that he is going to donate $100,000 to one of the charities and use the rest of the money to buy a house and turn his life around.
There are so many things wrong with this picture and it starts back in the beginning of the contest. There should have been rules in place that didn't allow sex offenders to participate in this drawing. When they found out that the winner was not just a one time but three time sex offender they should have put their foot down and found a way in the legal system to deny him of this money. Sex offenders kill little children and terrorize them every day and should not be awarded for it with $500,000 dollars. He should be in jail. He says he is going to turn his life around but what is the saying “once a cheater always a cheater” I would go ahead and change those words to “once an offender always an offender”. People that are that sick and twisted who haven’t turned their lives around the first time most likely aren’t going to after the third. Life is full of second chances and I totally believe in them but this is his fourth.
He received his check on Saturday afternoon and was extremely excited, who wouldn’t be but as an upstanding citizen I think it morally wrong in every way shape and form to allow him to laugh this off because that is what he is doing. He knowingly entered into a lottery drawing against sex offenders and is now pointing and laughing at us. What has this country come to?
