Your Story Deserves to Be Heard

R H

My name is Sean. I’m a sex offender and an ACSOL board member on a mission to give a voice to the voiceless.

I’m interviewing registrants across the US to capture what life on the registry actually feels like. I’ll be presenting your stories at this year’s ACSOL conference. You matter. Your story matters.

If you’re willing to share your experience, email me at [email protected] with your phone number and I’ll reach out to you. Everything is confidential.

United we stand, united we change.

ACSOL Board Member

What about stories after the registry? How one is confined to their state for fear being forced to put back onto the registry after getting off the registry? Or how one could be off the registry, but the people don’t know that and either call the cops or confront you that you shouldn’t be at that public area or school function?

For some reason, being off the registry doesn’t feel like all that much freedom. It’s like when you go to jail or prison and paid your dues to society to believe you’ve regained your freedom, but you have to registry for however long until you get off the registry, if you are eligible. You didn’t regain all your freedom. Just because you got off from your state registry doesn’t mean you have to freedom to go anywhere in the US and its territories. Your prison without walls was just expanded to your state, but the country doesn’t recognize it.

Are we ever to be made whole again as a citizen? Law enforcement will say ignorance of the law isn’t an excuse. That means we still have to look up information to see if we will be put back onto the registry in another state. Which means we have to do research online or probably need to contact that state’s SOR unit to inform them you were on the registry and trying to discover the rules if you will be put back onto the registry. Great… so now you have to reveal your past as if you were still on the registry to your local law enforcement.
