Bill would bar sex offenders from Internet

Any person convicted of using a computer to commit a sex crime would be barred from accessing the Internet under legislation Senate President Richard Codey will introduce as a way to protect children surfing the Web. "In these cases, we've got people who are just sick beyond belief and will do anything to continue their pedophile ways," said Codey (D-Essex). "Why should we allow them to ever get on a computer again and do the same thing all over?"
