originally posted 12/3/2010 My young son (at age 19) did not manufacture material, did not assault any child, and did not personally share any material he downloaded other than the built in sharing of the Limewire program. Our State Attorney General is cracking down heavily on child pornography. There was some in the material Joe downloaded. There were also teens who, while technically child porn, were within 1-3 years of his age which I would consider natural (although I don’t condone the porn). His public defender got them to drop the intent to distribute charge and the final charge doesn’t specifically state child pornography (possession of lewd material of a pornographic nature), but he now has 5 years of probation and 25 years on the sex offender registry. We also discovered that in our state, the registry time does not begin until the accused is no longer in jail or on parole or probation. Which means my son is actually…

originally posted 12/1/2010 I am a registered sex offender who can’t find work, can’t take care of my disabled fiancee, and can’t take care of myself, because of the public stigma with carrying that label. �When I was 21 years old in 1997, I met a woman in a bar and had a one night stand with her. �She turned out to be 15 years old. �Because of that one night of celebrating my entire life has been ruined. These Laws need to be reformed and clear levels need to be established for those who are a danger to the public and those who aren’t.

originally posted 11/29/2010 I am 30 when I was 16 I was with a friend driving around. My friend and I met these 2 girls at a park after we played basketball there. They said they where 14 and 15. My friend and I where 16. They said they would be babysitting and wanted us to come over to the house latter and mess around. So my friend and I went to the house. Where it was decided by the girls that they wanted to have sex. So my friend and I had sex with the girls in a back bedroom. Then we left and I ended up moving and so I never saw the girls again. Then 5 years latter I had a investigator show up at my house about raping a girl. I then found out that the girl I had sex with was 13. And just a couple months past the legal age gap of 3 years….

originally posted 11/28/2010 In 2000 I was wrongfully convicted of prostitution and attempted sodomy 2, for supposedly offering money to a 13 year old girl for oral sex. This was complete BS, and my court-appointed atty. royally screwed up the case. Although I got him to try to explain to the judge what he’d done, the judge wouldn’t even listen. The two girls’ (victim & her friend) testimony varied wildly from each other, and it should have been quite evident that one or both were lying. Of course, the jury always wants to believe the girls side. I was found guilty, and have exhausted my appeal rights, just this year being denied by the 9th District Court Of Appeals. If I was imprisoned, I could exercise my Habeas Corpus rights, but since I’m not imprisoned, I have no further recourse. I have seriously considered violating the terms of registration, just so I could go to jail and file Habeas Corpus….

originally posted 11/28/2010 My fiancee (33 at the time), had consensual sex (no force,weapon, etc), with a girl he thought was at least 18 (she was 2 weeks shy of her 18th bday).She was screwing around on her boyfriend with many guys, was pregnant by him,and didn’t want to get into trouble, so she used the “rape card” and my fiancee was the one she used. �Hung jury the first time (not enough evidence, etc); judge was biased and called a 2nd trial; my fiancee did 2 years in prison; did his probation/parole; is OFF paper now; still has to register til 2022: hard time getting jobs, etc., and now he has to move out of my home because we were told that my house is 191 feet shy of the 1000 feet from a school. They told him that since he doesn’t have income, transportation, etc., he could always go the local homeless shelter….REALLY???? Then what happens when his…

originally posted 11/23/2010   My son took a plea offer for a crime that he did not commit,because he was afraid to gamble with his life in a trial. That was 10 years ago. This left him as a registered sex offender. He is a single parent, with an infant son, and now is concerned for not only his safety due to the internet posting,of sex offender registry, but he is also concerned for the safety of his baby. So how are they protecting children? This has put my Grandson at risk.

originally posted 11/6/2010 My husband is not a child sexual abuser. We met when I was 14 and he was 26 and fell in love and had a beautiful daughter. We are still together today after jail, humiliation, and torture.

originally posted 11/3/2010 This is from my mother. ok here it goes: my mom sits and cries everyday because my brother is on the sex offender list and she is so scared for him. �and on october 31st halloween day the police showed up to our house and searched my brother’s room and then asked where he was at and we told him he was at dinner with my mother. and then when i told my mother she broke down and cried again and it hurt my family so bad. and my brother isnt a bad person at all. he got caught up in a mess with a girl who said she really wanted to be with him and he is very mentally ill and mentally retarted and has problems. and we are working with him. he is on probation for five years and he is going thru mental health and he is in anger management classes also and he…

originally posted 10/31/2010 Just a simple wife who has been with my husband from the beginning of his incarceration.  I went with my husband to the sex offender treatment program (SOTP) once he was out of prison.  He completed it in the program once while he was in prison!!!  Seems ridiculous to have to complete the program two times, but that is my state for you.   It is ridiculous, all the BS one has to go through for the so called safety of our children.    Not only is the offender under the microscope but so are his family members.   I didn’t make a good impression at the first SOTP meeting we had to attend and they contacted his probation officer and then basically chewed his ass because of it!!!  My husband did his time day for day, completed the SOTP in prison and when he was released, it was a conditional release (three years probation) and had…

originally posted 10/31/2010 My son was charged with 2 counts of indecent liberties with a minor.  One count was for kissing a girl on the cheek and the other was for accidentally brushing her breast when she jumped from him tickling her.  She was 12 yrs old and he was 17.  My son is learning disabled, developmentally delayed, and has ADHD.   His emotional and maturity level were the same as the 12 year old girl’s.   Due to it being his first offense, documentation of his disabilities, and letters written by the girl, my son was given a plea bargain to plead guilty to two counts of assault on a child.  He was given tw0 years probation which he has completed.  He is now 20 years old and is having a difficult time finding a job due to his conviction. He was arrested in February of 2007.  His face was plastered all over the local news even though he…
