originally posted 10/3/2011 “<p> I was added to the sex offender registry because a prison caseworker in Ohio gave faulty instructions to the State of North Carolina when releasing me into the custody of NC for Parole Supervision. If I didn&#39;t comply they would have violated my parole and returned me to prison. The case in Ohio was not a qualifying case and I had never been registered in the State of Ohio, but this didn&#39;t matter to officials in NC. When they got this instruction they automatically added me, no questions asked. When I appealed to the NC Attorney General&#39;s office for a second opinion, they stated that the State of NC has its own sovereignty to decide who goes on the registry and whether my Ohio offense is &quot;substantially similar&quot; to the registerable offenses existing in NC law — apart from any suggestion or validation from Ohio authority. So they stood their ground, to defend the administrative error…

originally posted 10/2/2011 I am one of those untouchables. And I’m not one of those ones that everyone agrees shouldn’t be on the registry. When I first got out of prison and was on probation, there was no sex offender registry and wouldn&rsquo;t be for most of the five years I was on probation. I was able to find work easily, a place to live and had a large support group of family and friends who were aware of my offense and were there for me and helped to ensure that I fulfilled my probation community service and therapy requirements. Once I was on the public registry, 90 % of those people disappeared as they didn&rsquo;t want to suffer the consequences of guilt by association. Right before my probation ended, the sex offender registry law was passed. Since that time the laws have changed so much, and the interpretation of those laws by the State Police who run the registry…

originally posted 9/30/2011 I am a convicted sex offender, 8 1/2 years in prison. I met my wife and married her while in a sex offender treatment program that I volunteered for. I come from a long line of addictions drugs, booze, sex and almost every other kind of things that were so wrong.

They informed me I was in violation of a class c felony (non registered sex offender) My wife was in tears when I showed up on the 6 o&#39;clock news.</p> <p> I had to register with both the…

originally posted 9/29/2011 My fiance is a recovering addict. he had been clean and sober for almost 3 years. During his days of drinking and doing drugs while under the influence he was driving and pulled over and asked these 2 girls if they wanted a ride. These 2 girls got scared because of how intoxicated he was they ran home and called the cops with a description of the car and him.</p> <p> The cops did come to him and called a cab sent him home and charged him with attempting to lure a minor in a motor vehicle. The two girls were 17 years old. They looked about 20. I&#39;m not sure what the young youth looks like today in every state but here in PA they look much older then they really are. His attorney told him in his best interest to plead guilty and he would get 90 days incarceration. 30 days of that in a…

originally posted 9/29/2011 I am a registered sex offender in Ga. I&#39;ve been registered for over a year. I do not know how it is in other states, but in Houston County, Ga all sex offenders must abide by a 7pm to 7am curfew. If the police come by and you aren&#39;t home, you are locked up, violation of probation and can serve the rest of your sentence behind bars. Also, I am 23 and my girlfriend is aware of my past yet I am legally not allowed to have a girlfriend unless the group therapy approves.</p> The group therapy is $160 a month, every Monday. If you miss with out a good excuse you get locked up. The class is basically a sociology class and has no way of checking the offenders if they retain or learn anything making it a waste of time. Also, the offender is responsible for paying for a polygraph every 3 months which totals…

originally posted 9/27/2011   In 1991 my step daughter at the time was having trouble wetting the bed. after a while the bed wetting turned into a rash that she rubbed and scratched raw. as a result this led to a bladder infection from her dirty hands. At the time neither the mother or i knew about this because the child was hiding it somehow. one day she was scratching in class and the teacher asked her what was wrong and she pointed to her private. The teacher took her in the bathroom,and saw her private and called children and youth services.&nbsp;</p>   This resulted in me being accused of doing something sexual to the child. I was arrested and locked up before any test or facts were presented as evidence. My girlfriend at the time knew that i would never do anything like that and was on my side the whole time. eventually the child was seen by a…

originally posted 9/24/11 My story isn&#39;t even really mine. It&#39;s my fiancee&#39;s. We are in the most ridiculous circumstance I could ever have imagined. In June of this year, he was just starting out in his own business, and I was getting ahead in my job and we were starting to plan our wedding.. things were going well. I knew he had spent some time in jail for statutory rape (he 18, her 16) and he had 13 years of probation in Wisconsin.</p>   When he was released from probation he moved to Texas and that&#39;s where we met. He was told by his probation officer that he was DONE with all of it, registering, probation, etc. Apparently not. In June of this year I was house sitting for my Mom and I get a call from the US Marshalls saying they were tracking a fugitive and one of my Mom&#39;s dogs had gotten loose and they had to shoot…
