My story goes back to 1968, when my oldest uncle Bobby, home from reform school, forced me to orally copulate him while his younger brothers watched in horror and disbelief. I was five years old and that day has stuck with me in my memory to this day. Before this happened I was a happy boy. Everyone commented to my parents how happy I seemed to be, how full of love. And in one minute, that was all taken away from me. The only thing I wanted from my uncles…

Living with 290: Will I ever get my life back?
I made a mistake and now everyone knows it even people that don’t know me. I have had person show up to where I work to beat me up because they seen me on the website. I didn’t work there anymore thank God. Still that is messed up. I have missed out on many jobs in my life because of it. I know I did the crime so I have to pay for it but why is there no way for me for me to stop repay my debt. I…

It’s 10:30 am on March 6th 2014 and the yearly round of sheriffs coming to my residence has begun for this year. I’ve been told this is to make sure I live where I live and anything beyond that is a mystery to me (Christ! I just renewed my registration a week ago!). Every time this happens it is just another round of “them” trying to get me to say things to get me to give up my rights so they can walk all over me. This is troubling to…

Read MoreLiving with 290: A family nightmare, and renewed hope
Should I start at the beginning, the middle, or the end? It’s been a long journey….The beginning…Our son had married his high school sweetheart and moved 12 hours away. After their son was born, she left the home and moved away, leaving our son to raise their child. As most of you know, in child custody cases, a parent is not allowed to leave the county with the child, so he was stuck. We, his parents, decided to help by buying a house (12 hours away) that our son helped…

Read MoreLiving with 290: Back to Jail
I’m a convicted 290 registrant. I was released from prison after serving 100% of a 3 year sentence. No good time. I’ve been on parole for 18 months and during that time I have been returned to custody on 12 separate occasions for non-criminal conduct. I’ve been held to a higher legal standard than the average citizen which has caused my re-incarceration for conduct such as entering a park or having a girlfriend with kids, all of which has no relation to criminal activity. I took the 3 year deal…
Read MoreLiving with 290: Enough
1. My 290 story began in 1999, when I was charged with one count of 288. There is no justification for my actions that lead to that charge. There were mitigating circumstances, but that is another story. It started three months before the formal charge, when the Sheriffs came and told me to leave the house, under suspicion of CPS that I was a danger to my children. I worked for those three months under mounting fear that I would be charged. My mother had taken me in, God bless…

Read MoreLiving with 290: Wishing It Wasn’t True
A little background – I am innocent. I was accused and that was enough to start in motion a process that was impossible to stop. I was lied to by my accuser, “victim”, friends, OC Sheriffs and OC District Attorney. I was tricked into saying a few words that were considered a “confession”. OC Sheriffs lied to, assaulted and threatened my accuser to force her “cooperation”. During a later pre-trial, in open court, my accuser and “victim” both recanted. It did not matter. I plead to one felony count on…
Read MoreLiving with 290: 290 since ’93
I’ve been lucky. I was arrested in 1993 for four counts of 288a. I pled guilty and two were dismissed. I’d made a huge mess of my family and I just wanted to make it right. I was fortunate. There was no prison time…. Six months county time, and because I was my families primary means of support, I was allowed to serve that via home detention. That meant my supervisor was aware of what was going on. There was court ordered treatment, but I began that even before I…

I made good money back then running a mom and pop store for nearly twelve years until…
Read MoreLiving with 290: Things must change
First, as I think back regarding my journey, I can only think about how much I regret putting myself in the situation I put myself in. Today, over 18 years later, I’m still so disappointed. When I initially was referring with my counsel, I was informed (I plead to a wobbler) that once the charge was reduced to a misdemeanor, I would no longer have to register. He confirmed this!I later found out this was incorrect. I went back to court, had the court reduced to a misdemeanor, charge eventually…
