<title>Newspaper Apologizes for &#8220;Hottest Sex Offender&#8221; List</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-35665 alignright" title="Houston Press" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/files/2011/05/Screen-shot-2011-05-13-at-2.24.55-PM.png" alt="" width="208" height="66" />Today in offputting, we <a href="http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/romenesko/132309/houston-press-apologizes-for-hottest-sex-offenders-list/">hear</a> from Poynter that <em>Houston Press</em>, a <em>Village Voice</em> affiliate, wrote a post called “<a href="http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2011/05/hot_female_sex_offenders.php" target="_hplink">10 Hottest Women on the Texas Sex Offenders List</a>.”</p>
<p>Funny stuff. Note that women on the list have assaulted boys and girls ranging from two to 16 years old.</p>
<p>The writer of the piece, editor <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Richard-Connelly-profile.html">Richard Connelly</a></strong>, was, obviously, taken to task in the comments under the post, such as this one: &#8220;There is nothing about child molestation that should be glorified. I  cannot believe this got published and everyone involved should be fired.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now he has issued an <a href="http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2011/05/hot_sex_offenders_list.php">apology</a>, and explained the genesis of this post:</p>
<blockquote><p>Last week I spoke to <a href="http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2011/05/child_porn_prosecutors.php" target="_blank">two veteran child-porn prosecutors</a>&#8230; It triggered an idea about how people have a pre-conceived notion of  what dangerous predators &#8220;always&#8221; look like &#8212; slovenly fat guys in  t-shirts asking kids if they wanted a ride &#8212; and how best to shake that  notion up.</p></blockquote>
