originally posted 3/14/2010 I committed a victimless crime 10 years ago. What I did was wrong and I accept full responsibility for every decision I made and every action I took and I paid very dearly for my transgression. All I’ve ever wanted to do since this unfortunate episode was to go back to the productive, law-abiding, contributory life I previously led. This has been virtually outlawed. I am blocked at every turn. I’ve been through no less than 5 professions since, and have been forced out all five times. I cannot even VOLUNTEER to help my fellow man. I am now on my final attempt at legitimacy. I don’t have the energy to start over yet again. I am not a “sex offender”. “Sex Offender” is present tense. It implies that at this very moment I am committing a sex offense. I am most certainly not. I am a “former” offender. Someone who 10 years ago made a victimless…
originally posted 3/13/2010 I’m a registered Sex Offender. In, 1995 I was charged with Criminal Deviate Conduct , Confinement, Sexual Battery Criminal Deviate Conduct:to-wit inserted his finger in her vagina when victom was compelled by Force or the imminent threat of force in Violation of I.C. 35-42-4-2 9 months later: �Deposition come forward in the case 5 people were involved in this case 3 females and 2 males �all over the age of 17 the victim in this case was 19 years old In the victim’s deposition, she admitted that it didn’t happen. Her story from the first night’s report and 9 month report were inconsistent with each other. So the charge was dropped! But I was railroaded. The Case was still going to Trial . The Public Defender in my Case said I had no chance of winning this trial and that if I would take this to trail I would be found Guilty and sentenced to the Max…
originally posted 3/13/2010 They were girlfriend and boyfriend, my son was told she was 19 when they first met. No reason for him not to believe it – after all she looked it! Mother allowed her to date older guys and she had dated older men before she met my son. Also dated older men after my son was convicted!!!! Crazy huh? �My son was sentenced to 10 years and has to serve 85% of that!!!! No justice in this world anymore!!!!!
originally posted 3/10/2010 I am a Sex offender in Pennsylvania. �I am new to finding that there are so many other sex offenders with the same problem(s) that i am having in the world today. I am 32 years, and I have 3 step children and one of my own. I live a very quiet life because of my past and now I think it’s time that I open up and talk to other person(s) with the the same problem(s) that I have. I am currently trying to fight Megan’s law in my case. It’s been a roller coaster ride to say the least. I have stood alone in this the whole way because no attorney wants to represent me in any way. I tell them what I want to do and then they run like cowards. �I am beliving that they are nothing but that – �cowards! I know that there are people out there that are trying to…

originally posted 2/25/2010 I am a Clinical Psychologist who recently had a client convicted of CSC and will now be on the registry for the rest of his life for incidents that occurred when he was 11 years old. I don”t understand why a person under the age of 13 at the time of the incident can have the same legal consequences as an adult convicted of the same. The glitch in the law is that there was over a 3 year age difference between the 2 children. An 11 yr old could never know the future legal consequences of curious behavior. He is now 16 and is being treated as if the incident just occurred. I think a jury should at least be advised that the registry is inevitable with a guilty conviction. I think there needs to be a change related to minors with regard to the registry.
originally posted 2/24/2010 The opinions in RSOL blogs and tales are those of the person sending in the blog or tale, and are not necessarily those of RSOL. We do not endorse this man’s proposal, but he has taken a lot of time to make a serious start! ———————- My Story with a Law Suggestion: NOTE: PC290 is the designation requiring sex offenders to register in California. Over 20 plus years ago, I was out of control with myself. I was also out of control with drugs and alcohol and had a lot of stress on me. I was very young (23), had 2 children and worked long hours trying to support them. Being so stressed and with the drugs and alcohol, I was out of touch with reality. I came home after spending the day with alcohol and drugs and inappropriately touched the young girl who was our babysitter. I was not attracted to the baby sitter, she was…
originally posted 2/18/2010 My son was deceived by a minor posting as 18 on an adult website. He did not go looking for minors. Just a lonely person looking for a soulmate. I am tired of no blame for “Lolitas” and negligent parents. Laws disregard civil liberties of these persons. It’s like a “Scarlet Letter” of Puritan Days. Branding is a crime! Murderers don’t have to be on registries. They do their time (with criminal intent), and then are free. Many of these “sexual offenders” had NO CRIMINAL intent, but are branded for LIFE??? Where is the justice and civil liberties of these people???? It is a disgrace in the criminal system. Taxpayers are paying to keep these young men behind bars and on registries for no good reason. I am so disappointed in our system. Where is the justice?
originally posted 2/16/2010 I am 35 year old sex offender. I was charged for chatting online to a “minor” on yahoo but the profile was an adult profile, which later the person claimed to be 15 years old – bait and switch (state police sting). I was sentenced to 4 months jail and 2 years probation, all of which I have completed. I was never tested for drugs or alcohol which I had in my system when arrested. I went through hell to make a good life and recover. I have a very successful job and wonderful friends and family that knows the truth why I socially committed suicide. I hate that I allowed myself to become this far gone I knew I was killing myself. I would love to share my story with someone in person. I do feel I DO NOT belong on the registry. I was snow balled and forced to take a plea but that’s another story.
originally posted 2/16/2010 My son was convicted in CA, but he was sent to Texas to serve his time. It is much too expensive to travel there . I talk to him weekly and communicate with letters. All our funds went to the lawyer. He was advised to take a plea, and gave up all rights. I cried that day in court. This was a year ago and I am only now coming out of a deep depression. My son, 39, has never had more than a traffic ticket. He is a college history professor, with a great reputation. He went through a divorce and was depressed and got into adult porn several years ago. Two videos of child porn were on his computer. He is serving a six year sentence. That is bad enough, but when he gets out, what will he do with this label? He can not teach again….
