Fannin County, Texas — On August 27, 2025, Fannin County First Assistant Criminal District Attorney, Nathan Young, secured a 25-year prison sentence for the offense of Failure to Register as Sex Offender in the case of Carl Alton ____, Jr., 56, of Bonham.
…
“In 2015 this defendant went to prison for six years for a failure to register as a sex offender,” said First Assistant Nathan Young. “He knew what was expected of his registration when he was released. His blatant disregard in complying with a service that helps keep our community safe warrants a severe sentence, and sends a message to other offenders that may fail to comply with sex offender registration.”
My first question, did he commit another sexual offense? If not, then he has committed no crime and there should be no arrest.
I own land in this Fannin County TX in an unincorporated town of 200 people but decided to not move there while on the registry as I would be the only registered person within a 10 minute drive, one of my neighbors makes his own homemade bombs and every weekend was blowing up bombs or shooting his assault weapon, and almost every house at the last three elections had MAGA signs in the yard – I just did not feel safe in this very rural county of @ 15-20k people where I believe it has been decades since a democratic party person won election.
Not to pick on any political party, but independent studies show people who base decisions from fear usually vote GOP and as a registered person, I do not feel safe around people who make decisions based upon fear and emotions as they tend to be more violent – just look at the crime by state where 8 of the top 10 are red states.
I am aware that neither party does little to help registered people – in this post I am only talking safety for myself.
They are forcing him to register to keep the community safe but did they pay him for the public safety service they are”charging” him for failing to provide?
How can they “charge” anyone with failing to provide a service to the public unless the service was paid for?
Time is money, and duties don’t get provided free of charge!
This 25 yr sentence is nothing short of cruel and unusual punishment for nothing more than a technicality. I don’t see how it won’t get thrown out, or at least reduced down to a max of 5 years by any decent lawyer. But this assistant DA is obviously uneducated on the issue, bloviating his position to make a point to an uneducated public. The registry has done exactly ZERO to improve public safety during its entirety of existence, according to extensive research conducted. But this small town prosecutor doesn’t know, understand or care about the minor facts. He just wants to get a few pats on his back for getting the “predators, child molesters and pedofiles” off the streets for good. Disgusting.
” His disregard in complying with a service that helps keep our community safe warrants a severe sentence, and sends a messages to other registrants.”
The registry isn’t a service except to line your pockets to secure cruel punishments for something that is supposed to be civil.
” His blatant disregard in complying with a service that helps keep our community safe warrants a severe punishment, and sends a message to other PFRs.”
The registry is a waste of resources but your blatant disregard to the truth is making your community less safe. If your service is so helpful name a case where the service prevented or solved your case. Nathan, your blatant disregard to the service is keeping your community less safe and warrants your termination.
For anyone who doesn’t know, avoiding this type of outcome is all the more reason to use a free registration reminder service provided by an organization called the Florida Action Committee. Why pay with 25 years of your life for a missed appointment? The government should be providing this, and for free at that, but since they’d rather spend millions on incarceration, looks like FAC is your best option.
The outcome of his sentence was excessive, but this was his 2nd offense of blatant disregard for failing to register. So I wouldn’t compare it to a murder sentence unless it’s a repeat murder which would likely mean life or even the death penalty in Texas. However, even this man’s first time sentence of 6 years is unfair for FTR.
In Fannin County, A Texas man named Carl Alton __, Jr. was sentenced to 25 years in prison for failing to register, a technical violation that involved missing an address update. This was his second conviction for the same issue, and the prosecutor claimed it showed blatant disregard for a system meant to protect the community. But the punishment far exceeds the nature of the violation. A short sentence 30 days for instance might cause temporary harm—loss of housing, insurance, or employment—but a 25-year sentence effectively erases a person’s life. It punishes instability as if it were violence, treating a missed bureaucratic deadline as grounds for lifelong incarceration. This kind of sentencing undermines any sense of justice, ignoring trauma, economic fallout, and the absence of any proven public safety benefit. It’s not just excessive—it’s unconstitutional and it saddens me.
I suppose if the state demands servitude without compensation—despite taxes paid—and imposes a 25-year prison sentence for a missed bureaucratic step, all so the public can sleep comfortably under the illusion of safety, while Uncle Tony is in their child’s room unnoticed and unlisted… then so be it.
In California a FTR will send you to prison for life to under the California 3 strike law everybody should know that.
Texas Registry Enforcement: Constitutional Harm by Scale and SurveillanceDrafted: August 31, 2025 Author: Survivor archivist, constitutional witness, and coalition builder Jurisdictional Scope: Texas Constitution, U.S. Constitution, and survivor-centered doctrine Disclaimer: This entry is testimony and constitutional critique, not legal advice. Redistribution requires citation and preservation of disclaimers. Protected under First Amendment and relevant state doctrine.
Texas enforces its registry under Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Art. 62.001 et seq., requiring lifetime registration, in-person verification, and public notification. The system applies retroactively, includes juveniles, and criminalizes noncompliance. Registrants must report changes within seven days and disclose internet identifiers. Judicial relief is rare and obstructed by tiered classification and administrative entrenchment.
Housing restrictions bar registrants from living within 1,000 feet of schools, parks, and daycare centers. Employment is sabotaged by public exposure. Religious sanctuary is denied. The registry functions as harm by scale—vast, digitized, and deeply embedded in state infrastructure.
This is constitutional harm by surveillance: Texas codifies exclusion through biometric tracking, digital exposure, and geographic exile, stripping registrants of liberty without proportionality or remedy. The betrayal violates:
If Texas enforces registry law without SMART or SOMA grants, the harm becomes sovereign. The state funds exclusion, religious exile, and economic sabotage with full knowledge of their constitutional violations. This is constructive treason by surveillance: harm levied by infrastructure, not war.
Fannin County, Texas — On August 27, 2025, Fannin County First Assistant Criminal District Attorney, Nathan Young, suffered a large personal failure. He sent a person to prison for a Sex Registry violation. Nathan Young helped a criminal regime commit a crime and he is a criminal. He is an enemy of good, moral Americans.
Nathan Young also demonstrated his ignorance and/or immorality when he stated that the Sex Registries are “a service that helps keep our community safe”. He’s clueless and/or he is a liar.
Nathan Young committed an act of violence against an American and his family. He deserves severe consequences. For all the rest of us that weren’t involved, he signed us up to pay to take care of this man, likely for the rest of his life. We all might end up having to support part of his family as well. It will surely cost us some millions of dollars, all just so some pathetic a**holes can jerk off with their Sex Registries and act like big government needs to hold their hands to get them through life.
I should also point out that Nathan Young has put a lot more Americans in a lot more danger. There is a risk that a PFR will be arrested for some FTR. There is now an even greater risk than before that a PFR will know that he/she needs to retaliate simply for being arrested. Some of them will choose to do that in a very dangerous and harmful manner. Without doubt. The Sex Registries are delivering that danger and harm daily. But are they protecting anyone?
Good job, Nathan Young. You are an un-American traitor and garbage a**hole. I’m praying you get what you deserve.
