The Alliance for Constitutional Sex Offense Laws (ACSOL) has stopped protests outside a house in Fairfield, CA, where five registrants on parole were residing. The protests were televised and included the Mayor of that town which is located between Sacramento and San Francisco.
The Mayor falsely claimed on several TV broadcasts that the registrants pose a current danger and demanded that the registrants move from the house where they were placed by the CA Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). Registrants on parole do not pose a current danger, according to CDCR reports, which state that the likelihood of re-offense for a registrant on parole is less than one percent.
After the protests began, the manager of the home contacted ACSOL and requested assistance. ACSOL responded quickly and sent letters to both the Mayor as well as the neighbor who organized the protests and distributed fliers with photos of all five registrants.
In its letter, ACSOL notified the Mayor and neighbor that state law prohibits anyone from threatening, harassing or intimidating anyone required to register. Anyone who violates that law can be found liable in both civil and criminal law. Civil penalties include a fine of up to $25,000 as well as attorney’s fees. Criminal penalties include possible custody in a city or county jail. The Mayor and neighbor were also provided with a copy of an excerpt from a CDCR report stating in both narrative form and in a graph that the rate of re-offense for a registrants on parole is less than one percent.
Shortly after the Mayor and neighbor received those letters, the protests outside the home stopped and the registrants remain living at that location. The manager of the home thanked ACSOL for its efforts stating, “thank you for your assistance with the letter to the mayor as well as the disgruntled neighbor. They were 100% effective . I have not heard about anything happening over there since the letters were written. The gentlemen in the house as well as myself are really grateful that you took the time out to help them , when you didn’t even know them . You are much appreciated.”
This is fantastic news! This shows that showing up, standing up, and speaking up can have an impact on a situation that we may think at first is hopeless.
Thanks to ACSOL for your hard work
Wow. Great work ACSOL
Thank you, Janice and ACSOL!
Why would anyone stop that? Next time just let it continue, document, document, document and then pursue the fines explicitly detailed in the SORNA public guidelines.
While this is great and should be congratulated, where is the call for charges and prosecution of those who committed and aided the crime asked to be stopped by @ACSOL, the home owner, and/or the five residents? There’s evidence of the crime which would make prosecution easy.
Stop stopping short. A letter is great but until prosecution happens against those who do the crime against PFRs, the letter is admonishment and no pain or lesson for others. Where’s the accountability?! Is this more prosecutorial discretion to not charge because it has now stopped? Charge them and prosecute with no diversion to a lesser charge.
Thank you Janice and team for your quick and decisive response to the mob. You stopped something that could’ve gotten much worse and more violent by your quick action. So much for the Price Club membership claim. SCOTUS’s faulty decision only weaponizes and gives a green light, as seen here, to the populace to act out against registrants as well as to their family.
Thank you, ACSOL!!
Great work!!
Wow! Nice!
ACSOL as a social fire department? That is precisely the service role played here. This was a small local fire that needed sorting.
I see ACLU is running a National PSA, announcing A campaign to stop what the Ad describes as a regression of civil rights. Specifically the PSA claims America is going backwards in time concerning the reality of the civil rights for and of the people. That trend IMO began with the Smith V Doe03 decision. The exact case where involuntary servitude became preemptively “necessary” for the sake of the foundational element of the regime..the gov database. By our traditional history, and the 13th amendment which had defined human involuntary servitude is a punishment. That concept has been shit canned in favor of the database driven enterprise.
Bless you all. I look forward to the day when our nation heals and we can live together in peace.
Awesome work! Thank you!
Thank you for doing this!
Yeah see this is why the registry is only accessible to law enforcement in every other country on earth. They knew this kind of thing would happen in their countries too so they decided to nip it in the bud. That’s the best approach here.
If the mayor pulls another stunt the housing manager should contact ACSOl and file a lawsuit especially if there has never been any issues. If they can’t put down their pitchforks then hit them in the pocket book. Time for these folks to sit down, open a book, and get educated based on facts not feelings.
Whether or not the letter got them to stop, the law was still broken. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Especially for the Mayor, who is held to a higher standard being that he is in a position of trust and is required to treat all as equal! A crime was committed here and it must not be swept on the table. This is not the example that should be set…
And why can’t this be used to overturn Smith vs Doe? “The Mayor and neighbor were also provided with a copy of an excerpt from a CDCR report stating in both narrative form and in a graph that the rate of re-offense for a registrants on parole is less than one percent.” It is in writing from the CDCR, so how can it still stand a reason to justify the registry?
I say, kick them out and move in five paroles who are on Parole for murder or gang activities. That should make the neighbor feel safer. Hopefully, the neighbor will have to pay a fine for using the registry for harassment.
Great work. Thanks for helping.
Goes to show that even those who swore to protect peoples rights will “VIOLATE” peoples rights when it comes to sex laws, So the Registry is very much Punitive and Barbaric. This is why we are where we are today with this B.S. Enough is Enough ! Great Work ACSOL. The registry is disabling to those on it, It does nothing to protect the public or to prevent reoffending.
We gotta stick together hopefully when I’m off the registry I can work with ACSOL, I say when I’m off the registry because I don’t plan on being silent or hiding in the shadows
Well done, ACSOL. You guys are the voice of the voiceless.
Wow! Thank you Janice and ACSOL! This story has inspired me to Donate!
I really wish that those people that “protested,” as well as the harassing neighbors, get Karma.
Karma is literally the only solace I have left.
I’m not a lawyer, so this is my lay opinion:
In my opinion, Fairfield, California Mayor Catherine Moy has violated a criminal statute. She should therefore be cited, prosecuted, and, if convicted, removed from office.
Kat Moy went from the newsroom to the mayor’s office. Now she’s down there with her pals from the Daily Republic giving her free coverage as she grandstands against those poor people in their home. What a wicked 👹woman

A first amendment auditor from CA has a video regarding this “mayor” as a tyrant and one of the comments about her makes her sound like a nasty woman.
