WASHINGTON — The notices arrive almost every day. They tell a young woman named Amy, as she is called in court papers, that someone has been charged with possessing child pornography. She was the child. “It is hard to describe what it feels like to know that at any moment, anywhere, someone is looking at pictures of me as a little girl being abused...

I have an interesting tale to tell about how I brought my work home earlier this year. My next door neighbor told me she had learned from another neighbor there was a Level 2 and a Level 3 sex offender living in the neighborhood. In Washington, the registration and community notification system uses a three-level system, using an actuarial risk assessment measure. The lowest risk offenders,...

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...

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...

This is for all you men who like to cuddle little boys and girls ... and for anyone who read that sentence and thought "that's a bit creepy". This is for the men secure and aware enough to navigate the minefield of showing other people's kids comfort, affection and encouragement, despite a cultural coercion akin to the slander slung at Muslims. 'Cos that's where...

No more room at the inn for sex offenders. That's the word from the Mecklenburg County Sheriff. We've learned that a number of offenders have used the uptown shelter as their registered address, but no more. 1210 North Tryon is a well known address near Center City Charlotte. It is listed as the Uptown Men's Shelter. Type in the address in this state run search engine, and...

Empirical research has repeatedly proven that community notification is ineffective at increasing community safety but rather it excels at increasing collateral and direct damage to former offenders and their families, which is increasing daily as citizens use the sex offender websites as hit lists for vigilante actions against offenders , their families, friends and employers. These vigilante actions range from bullying, vandalism, harassment, assaults...

Submitted by USA on 2013/11/20 at 8:35 am I do have an interesting question/point! First, the arrests for not registering within 5 days is tacky. Now, I’ve gone to register early and the ladies (OC) asked why I came early? Lets suggest or pretend my annual registration is supposed to be every December 1st? What if I’m going to France from November 20th to...

Panel Says Law Allowing Some Child Molesters to Seek Pardon, but Not Others, Is Irrational and Unconstitutional A state law that allows a defendant convicted of a sex crime against a child under the age of 10 years to obtain a certificate of rehabilitation and pardon, but denies a similar opportunity to one convicted of molesting a child under the age of 14, is...
It would be humorous if the real-world consequences were not so grave. Every year, at a jam-packed session of the annual conference of the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers (ATSA), the developers of the Static-99 family of actuarial risk assessment tools roll out yet a new methodology to replace the old. This year, they announced that they are scrapping two of three sets...
In 1855, a 19-year-old woman named Celia was executed by hanging in Missouri. Her crime? She had murdered her owner, a man who purchased her when she was just 14 years old and had been forcing her to be his concubine ever since. There was no dispute that she had killed him. She had even confessed. But Celia’s defense attorneys boldly argued that Celia...
