The National Registry of Exonerations recently issued its 2017 report. Of the 139 exonerations they added to the registry in 2017, 21% were for sex crimes, not counting the two for registration crimes.
About half of all the exonerations were based on the conclusion that no crime had been committed (as opposed to the finding that the exoneree was not the perpetrator). Eleven of these were child sexual abuse convictions.

[No offense intended, but I’m not sure what this has to do with us. Quite the opposite from exoneration, every year, we receive additional ex post facto punishments burdened upon us – rather than having past punishments retracted and exonerated.]
From the PDF:
For example, California, with a population of 39 million, had 9 exonerations in 2017
One was for a sex crime and was exonerated due to a perjury/false accusation.
What I want to know is does CA have one of these reports for registrants?
