kstp.com (Minneapolis): Dominic Jones's appeal scheduled for Thursday.
Dominic Jones, the former Gopher football player was convicted of criminal sexual conduct. Jones was released from the Hennepin County workhouse last month after serving eight months for a sex crime against a woman at a party in 2007. Also in March, a judge denied Jones's request to leave Minnesota for one day to try out for the NFL. Prosecutors argued that as an 'untreated sex offender,' Jones should not be allowed to leave the state. (The point of this posting is to demonstrate that there are thousands of people on sex offender registries who are not only the "monsters" you hear about on your local news.)
