Charles Rodrick, who charged registrants up to $500 to have their personal information removed from websites he created, was arraigned today in Arizona. During today’s arraignment, Rodrick entered a plea of not guilty to all charges for which he has been indicted. Rodrick is scheduled to return to court on June 8 for a pretrial conference. Because Rodrick posted bond, he is living in the community and wearing a GPS tracking device.
In addition to Rodrick, two of his colleagues — Brent Oesterblad and Sarah Shea — have also been indicted on similar criminal charges. Oesterlad and Shea are scheduled for arraignment on April 27 in the same Arizona court. A trial in this matter is scheduled for September 9, 2021.
Restitution may be available to those who paid for removal of their personal information from Rodrick’s websites as well as to others he harmed financially or otherwise. Information regarding how to file for restitution can be found at www.courtkey.com.

Thank you for this link. Consider its use in the context of an FTR defense.
Q: Agent what is the purpose of the information demanded by sex offender registration form?
A: We collect it for reasons as described in law.
Q: Is that all the people use the registry for lawful purposes?
A: Yes, that is why it is done.
Q In your experience as an agent have you encountered an instance of unlawful use of registry information.
I’m watching this case closely. Thanks for sharing this information.
If anything, this case should expose the controversial aspects of the registry and it’s sub-coded punitive nature. If it WERE a legitimate “public safety” law, all of these subsequent and opportunistic third-parties would have no need to exist if there were NO money to be made from the embarrassment and shame relief if it wasn’t PUNITIVE in the first place!
Make no mistake, Megan’s law IS punitive, vindictive and retaliatory in nature and scope.
Wow I googled my name and nothing pops up anymore i guess those website aren’t as cocky and bold as they used to be back in the early 2000s.
Thanks Janice and ACSOL i give you guys mad props for this one good job team 💪😊
Would OffenderWatch be one of those that seek money from the civil club members? Those that scam people out of money from their pasts, must have some of skeletons in their closet and be miserable people to be around.
Once upon a time, DMV records were publicly accessible by anyone in CA, until actress Rebecca Schaeffer was murdered in 1967. Perhaps, we need a celebrity “sacrificial lamb,” to shutdown free access to the registry???
Restitution MAY be available. After his lawyer gets his money and the courts get their money, if any left, everyone will have to file a civil suit and wait for 8 yrs while the system drags along at its usual snail with a broken leg pace. Write it off as lesson learned and move on.
Does anyone know if this trial is over and what the outcome is?
