Mary Davye Devoy, the VA advocate for reform of sex offender laws, received an unexpected victory.
Gov. Ralph Northam is proposing to remove provisions from the law that would have penalized sex offenders who didn’t disclose their status to emergency shelter security staff and also remove language that allows shelter staff to deny immediate admission to an offender for an unspecified “period of time necessary to ensure the safety of other individuals.” Effectively leaving a registrant seeking shelter “out in the storm”.
The practice was so inhumane that it earlier led to Devoy abandoning her advocacy as a “lost cause”. She’s now considering this one of the biggest successes in her efforts.
