By Mike . . . I was tricked onto the Florida registry in 1997 when I took a plea for a sex charge for a consensual sexual relationship with a minor.
Yeah, I did it. I knew her age also….I’m not like everybody else that makes the excuse they thought she was older, but so did her parents, and they knew my age as well. I was liked by everyone, and the parents never cared about me dating their daughter up to the age of 25. I was very immature, but I never hurt anyone, period.
Anyway when they finally told me I was a sex offender, right before I got off probation, I found myself on the Florida sex offender website after the media was telling everyone and anyone to go look at their sex offender neighbors. I saw the word DANGER! above my head with 2 sirens flashing around. I felt like I had been mentally raped of my due process rights. That was definitely not part of my plea bargain and was definitely important enough to know beforehand.
If I wasn’t the best athlete in the world, I would have put an end to the misery a long time ago. It has affected me more than most because of my talent that went to waste just so they could have some faces on there when they launched the website in FL. But that is how FL operates; they will strip you of your rights and laugh in your face at the same time.
Only idiots believe girls under 18 are not sexual and often do sooo on their own ! It does not matter the law puts a rubber number stamp when they think it’s right to engage in this behavior! It is a fact and reality of life and the men are not the boogeymen! The age of accountability is at puberty ! Life is not a neat little box ….example age does not equal maturity….case point is it right to punish a 30 year old virgin more than the 15 year old of vice versa! Don’t have sex …..buuuuut if you are a girl and you get pregnant underage ….wellllll …. we will forget it ! No charge no jail no repercussions,,,,,just ehhh! Can’t have a beer until 21 says big idiot government….but you can have a baby earlier or get married below 18 ! Now the women get to own society because men are emasculated by the corrupt laws ! Let’s not talk about social norms like women can dress provocative and it’s ok ! She lovely, Devine, sexy etc….. but god forbid if a man has an erection….it’s sick…nasty, repulsive he’s .shunned and punished,,,,,but let’s get back to her… it’s her baby, her marriage, her body….and babies are killed (aborted) and it’s HIS baby too ! But who cares and it’s her marriage not his name anymore 73 % women get child support, alimony, along with kids etc. …..but why are men troubled in society ? Men go to jail, lose jobs have records and have social hell ! Oh ! Well !,,, but more women work, have degrees and small businesses and live longer…take prostate cancer is more prevelant than breast…but who gives a shiiiit ! Well,,,, let’s not forget all the ridiculous social coverage women receive which is far unbalanced and fair ! But I know you good people don’t really need to know these things! Your too busy helping mothers, sisters, aunt etc…. so don’t worry let’s keep this path but want men to change and be more responsible and better men !
the age of accountability IS puberty. Hell, u can fact check this on wiki….when Lincoln was president age of consent averaged 10 yrs old and Delaware was 7 yrs old.
Florida prides itself on the large number of RSOs in the state (it is currently number 3) but the reality is this: The numbers are false.
Over half of those listed on the Florida state sex offender registry do NOT EVEN LIVE IN FLORIDA!
Of the small amount who do live within the state of Florida MOST should not be listed at all because they do NOT present ANY danger to the public at all! Everything from totally victim-less crimes, online stings, sex of the beach, you name it!
Most do not know these simple facts. They fear everyone as if they are dangerous when that is NOT the truth – it is a live told be the law enforcement and the state of Florida and it’s “leaders” such as Senator Lauren Book!
The government is no stranger to using propaganda to manipulate the masses. Whether it is using patriotism or emotions. What better way than to exploit the natural instinct to protect their child!
By exploiting/praying on parent’s innate/natural drive to “protect” their offspring at ALL costs (including the denial of reality) the government created a “boogeyman” called sex offenders.
You are told these dangerous individuals are lurking everywhere…the problem is that it is all a total LIE told NOT to protect children BUT to create diversion! By keeping parents in a constant state of fear and then making and claiming that the sex offender registry will show where these monsters are and you just avoid them.
Sounds logical perhaps but it doesn’t work and it gets worse…it actually creates diverts attention from those most likely to victimize a child – Someone the child or family already knows – NOT a stranger!
I expose these and even more LIES and how they are used to manipulate the general population with FEAR at http://SexOffenderTruth.com
Get the truth and educate others who have swallowed the lies told by the state of Florida and demand that the registry either be abolished OR at the very least allow those who do not need to be monitored a way off of this Un-American hateful list!
All I can say is “Welcome to Bookeville!!” You can thank Ron and Lauren Book. They both pimp her past sexual abuse for political gain. Talk about repugnant!!
My son slept with a 12 year old girl when he was 18. He made a mistake and he knows that but he has never done that again. He is so careful of girls now! Have you seen what some of these 12,13,14,15,16 year old girls look like? Some make you think they are alot older. Theses girls who lie about their age do not get punished, either. Why not? My son loses every job he gets. They hire him knowing his charge then upper mgmt says no way, let him go! Citrus County Florida is the worste for them!
Is anyone doing anything about Florida’s violation of your 8th Amendment rights?
yea I’m trying. Thanks Deb
