Apparently Mississippi does consider FTR charges as a sex crime.  In this case the article implies he lost his appeal, well not really, he should have done an administrative appeal with the DOC before going to court; that has not yet been done.  So this represents a state that -by doing this- will cause recidivism rates to be erroneously overstated in the future.  We need to keep close watch for cases such as this one.
