A woman who got into a relationship with a man she later found was a registered sex offender wants a change in the law to stop people like him from being allowed to legally change their name.
Julie Purvin from Warwickshire said the man she knew as Jason Brown had been “very charming” and she was horrified when she discovered his convictions.
Emily Konstantas, the Chief Executive of The Safeguarding Alliance has campaigned to have the law tightened and said: “When a person commits such an awful crime against some of society’s most innocent people, what gives them the right to be able to erase their past?”
The government said it would look at whether the law needs to be strengthened.
Purvin said she had only been with Brown for three months, but it had been a “very intense relationship from day one”.
The 54-year-old said she had met him in a bar in Stratford-upon-Avon and even her most suspicious friends thought he was…

It’s not about erasing the past but not having to keep living it or feeling you will always be your past. People change including those who commit sex offenses or are biased to believe that Emily.
Simple. The EU’s literal “right to be forgotten”. Not to say that the UK cares much about the EU though.
“… what gives them the right to be able to erase their past?” Waaa, the law does.
know the man for who he is now and don’t judge him by his past mistakes.
Does she tell all her suitors everything she did in the past both good and bad?
This is BS. Any person can change their name, but they never get a new SSN or country ID number as they have in other countries. His or her record follows them no matter how many times a person changes their name, and the only exception to that is when someone enters the Witness Protection Program. Drama queens.
If the man was very charming and treated you right as a woman, then what’s the problem? It sounds like his offenses had nothing to do with adults, and you could’ve work out any issues he had with children in his past. Maybe he moved beyond that and wants a healthy relationship with an adult and a family of his own.
I was a Registrant that had changed my name by just doing a name change on my Social Security card then taking it to the DMV to change it on my driver’s license. It worked! Today I’m not sure that loop hole still exist. Colleagues what stops you changing your name? Many people have stage names, nick names and use separate names tied to their business. Even your appearance on the registry doesn’t have to look like your day to day look. I wear a slight beard but on the of day of registry I shave my beard off and dye my hair for that photo moment.
I’m sure this will stop the drought in the UK. You heard it, folks! You are your worst mistakes, and nothing more.
