originally posted 11/12/2009 I was convicted for committing a sex offense in 1990, in Nebraska, and spent 12 1/2 years in prison for it. �Initially, upon release, I was required to register for 10 years. �Now, under a new law going in to effect next year, I will be required to register for life, even though there is nothing to indicate I pose any more of a threat to society than I did upon my release from custody in 2003. �In addition, I will be required to supply any and all internet identifiers I have, such as email addresses, will be required to sign a consent form giving authorities permission to search my home without a warrant or any sort of cause, and will be committing a felony if I access/use social networking sites and instant messaging services, even if I have no contact with minors on any of them. This is ridiculous. �This is un-Constitutional. �This must stop. �It…
originally posted 11/2/2009 Having to take a plea in fear of what a jury would think, my brother has had to unfairly endure the hardest two and a half years of his life. With another two and a half years to go, we have watched the system swallow another victim whole. This entire process has sucked the life out of my family. Its not fair: he is treated the same as a sexual predator. He made a bad decision, he is not harmful to society! Something has to be done!
originally posted 11/2/2009 I am a registered offender in the State of Maryland and I am disgusted with the way they register us within the state and the ability for one officer to change the term of you requirements by the swift marking of a pen or a moving a mouse within the system. Explanation: I went to register and on my charges and my last day in court I was to register for 10 years and was filed under the state of Maryland as a Level I Sexual Offender. �I went to register recently and came out reading a piece of paper stating that I am now classified to be on the registry for lifetime instead of ten years. The system has so many loop holes and is out of control. �Local, state and federal authorities are lost in their paper files and new technologies. �My life was destroyed because a minor lied about his age and and I…
originally posted 10/25/2009 The sex offender “witchhunt” that has taken hold all over this country is ridiculous and devastating. My son, who is 19, is living this nightmare, along with the rest of his family. We have no resources to turn to. How is he supposed to recover from this? How do you move forward? Is it even possible? The girl who was 17 participated in consensual sex, but was a runaway, and to avoid charges herself, made a deal with the police. It was not rape, it was not molestation of a small child. How do we combat this and what can I do to change things? He is just a young man whose life is ruined. He feels his only option at this point is suicide. There are only a few shelters in Phoenix (which is 90 miles from here) that will accept s.o.’s and they are full. His probation officer told him to “buy a tent and…
originally posted 10/20/2009 I am involved with a sex offender who had sex with a teen when he was a teen. He is to register for life, but yet is STILL serving time 10 years after the fact due to our state’s over the top sentencing…he still has 9 more years of tedious supervision to go with an electronic bracelet attached to his ankle! �Because of his probation/supervision status, we will not be able to have kids…it would always be a fight for him to have contact with his own kids and minor rule violations will send him back to prison leaving me a single mom and extending the time he has to serve on supervision out further as well due to truth in sentencing laws! �As it stands now, I will be 42 when he is done with probation if no bumps occur in the road; this is too old for me to START a family! �So his punishments…
originally posted 10/20/2009 I am the wife of, now that he has been sentenced, a “sex offender”. My husband of 9 years suffers from Bipolar Disorder. He has what is ackowledged by the Prosecutor as a manic episode. Despite a previous spotless record, and having served (he was active duty when this occured) 25 years in the Military, he was chaged at the Federal Level. They did this for two reasons. One, to gain publicity, and a lot of it. They used his military position to vilify him for days. Two, the ICAC has had a public dispute with the State Prosecutor, and rather than deal with him, took the path of least resistance and charged him Federally. This took his charge of Enticement of a minor over the internet from 30-90 days in jail to 46 months in a FED prison. He had to plea down to this 46 month sentence. Despite his previous perfect record, an stellar post…
originally posted 10/11/2009 My son was not yet convicted of any crime, but this violation removed his “withhold of adjudication” and he now was a convicted felon. Unable to get even the most menial job because of this and all the other monumental injustice heaped on his young shoulders, he turned to prescription drugs as a way to cope. �I did not know until the end he was doing this. He had no health insurance and no money. He found a local “feelgood” doctor” who we are now also pursuing for malpractice. �My son was given methadone for simple pain!! �Methadone is unlike all other narcotics in that it accumulates in the body for up to 72 hours while the pain relief or “buzz” lasts only 8 hours. �Even taking the drug as prescribed can kill you. I should know, in that I’m a clinical pharmacist with 25 years experience. We don’t have the toxicology report back �yet, but it’s…
originally posted 10/11/2009 I recently graduated college with a B.A., and was ready to start a career. Unfortunately I was arrested for a sexual offense. �Overblown charges and a state run prosecution makes it hard to prove my innocence. �I am being accused of non-physical sex crimes towards a minor. Never meeting or intending to meet the person. �An over reacting parent, and a detective who is looking for convictions in their community, rather than protecting (children). �It’s hard for me to imagine being put in a situation where my state and city are falsely accusing and looking to convict me. �The more I investigate, the more I realize I’m not alone. Our country forgot to treat people as though they are innocent until proven otherwise!
originally posted 10/8/2009 I am the wife of a sex offender in Florida. He was charged with a Sex Charge when he was 19 because his girlfriend was under age. We have been married for 4 years he was in prison for an unrelated charge. �When he was released he was placed on �CRD (conditional release date), and given a probation officer for three months. He was told he could not live in our home due to the �additional restrictions that the CRD places on sex offenders. The Probation Officers told him he would have to live in the woods and be homeless. He goes to our home during the day, and thatB4s okay. he just can not sleep there. �He is not a guy that goes around hunting kids with candy. We are married and have a daughter. �We are not sure what do. �This not right! People don’t treat there animals like this. Please point us in the…
