originally posted 2/17/2011 If a 13 year old can consent to lie about her age and put herself off as an 18 year she should be held responsible. If they are going to hold people accountable for knowing someone’s true age when the look older than they are then the US should require you to carry an ID card from the time you are 12 years old. This is because girls today are dressing and developing sooner than before. I have always taught my son to look out for younger girls, but it never crossed my mind that girls were lying about their age.
originally posted 2/17/2011 Ten years ago, my son, who was high on pot, exposed himself to a woman in his own house & asked her for oral sex. When she said “No thanks” he ‘grabbed’ her by the arm & apologized. For that he was found guilty of Attempted Sexual Assault(no injury). He never touched her sexually in any way, and the “assault” was him grabbing her arm. He’s on the Sex Off. Registry with rapists and child molesters and is viewed as one in the same. Because of this, he gets threatening letters in his mailbox & no one will hire him. He is serving 4 years now because he missed one of his meetings due to a miscommunication between him and an officer. What happened to HIS constitutional rights, and those of others like him, that allows his name, address, picture, etc. to be pulled up on the internet, linked to those who are rapists, child molesters and…
originally posted 2/17/2011 There’s a lot of back lash and I have experience a lot of it in my life. My husband is a sex offender on the registry for the last 8 years and has to register for life. My step-father is an offender on the registry. My son now has a case pending and it is likely he will have to register and he is only 13. I am also a victim myself. And my daughter is a victim. I have been through the courts with my family and I have been through the sex offender counseling with my husband. I have seen first hand the affects of the registry on not just the offenders but their family’s. I have a unique prospective that may make people listen to me. Having been on the wrong side of sex crimes on everyone involved but still saying this is not the solution. I feel as if this issue having been around me my whole…
originally posted 2/6/2011 I have documentation of each point regarding the acceptance of the plea while I was saying this was not reasonable, etc. � I was told that if I did not show up the next day in court I would be in contempt of court and arrested, then looking at a life sentence!! �While in court I told the attorney I did not want to do this plea and he told me that this is what I had to do today…then all of the threats again….then told me that if I didn’t agree, I could file this “paper” he showed me that specifically stated “defendant is not waiving any rights for ineffective assistance claims” and that I could withdraw the plea…but since this was a “done deal” for today I had to follow thru, watch him for the answer, etc. Later I went back to him and recapped our conversation while taping this time and he confirmed his…
originally posted 2/3/2011 I just read Jan. 2011 digest part 1. I would like to share my story if I may?….My husband of over 15 years is a registrant. His offenses were 25 years ago (1986) and there has been not even a hint of offense since. We have 3 children He is a wonderful father and provider, but did have an alcohol problem. In 2006 he slapped me causing him to receive 4 years in prison. He is out now, and sober, but because of his past he is now subject to the GPS monitoring and a victim of compliant housing causing him to sleep in his car. When he first got out and asked his PO where he could stay(he had halfway houses with space for him, but they were not compliant His PO told him “There are plenty of bushes around here”. My point is, how long does a person have to go without an offense before they are no…
originally posted 1/31/2011 I am a registered sex offender, and my crime occurred while I was in the military, which is a totally different story in itself… anyway, i now live in florida, and have been for the past five years. its been almost impossible to find a permanent place to live, because i really can’t find a job where i can afford to pay my bills, and still take care of my daughter. my last job i had, i was “let go” because a girl i was dating sent an email to my boss telling him that i was a registered sex offender, which i told her when we started dating, because she did have 2 kids. none of this mattered when i was staying the night at her house, or taking her kids with me on errands, but as soon as we stopped dating, she felt like i should be punished so she sent the email. anyways, recently…
originally posted 1/20/2011- I am Jesse`s mother and I am distraught over the fact that come 2/22/11, he will not be released back to his home. This current rule that is in place seems more than unconstitutional and since it is not a law signed into the state statutes, it does not seem to be enforceable. For all his school years, Jesse was enrolled in professional treatment, beyond what school had available for him, for his ongoing ADHD handicap. Issues that varied from year to year as he matured, or when other needs arose, and of course some that I feel were never addressed and never will be. There is no cure or complete understanding of this affliction that Jesse must try and handle on a daily basis. I will never forget when one Doctor told me that due to his disability, for some facet of his life, he will always come to depend on me, his mother. Needless to…
originally posted 1/18/2011 I really agree with you that sex offenders should have second chances because there are some that only make a mistake one time and should not be on the state registery. They make mistakes and get treated like criminals , thers a difference between one time offenders and actual criminals. People that are trouble makers all the time should be locked away , but people that are not should be free to live their lives normally. They should be free to travel and work whatever job they want , if they reoffend than thats totally different . If they don’t ever reoffend than they should not be treated like stupid criminals. I feel all the laws they are trying to pas against sexual offenders are wrong. Not all offenders are threats to society the state of VA is just going to have to realize this and empty their list of people who should not be on there….
