On August 14, 1989 (28 years, and one month ago on 08/14/2017) While I was watching a “Twilight Zone episode” My six years old niece asked me to play with her. I told her I would play with you after I finish watching my movie. She replied “OK” and walked away; and as she walked away, I reached out my arm without looking behind me and friendly tapped her on her lumbar spine, vertebrae or behind? But if she said her private part then that’s her behind accidental and mistakenly,…

Living with 290: Annual update question
I did my annual update today in San Bernardino County. I have owned the same home for 3 years. Unfortunately the utility bills are all in my wife’s name. I have been following these posts and receive email updates but this is my first post. The last 2 years the Victorville Police Dept has required a utility bill and a letter from my wife stating I live with her. I have read the PC 290.015 code and presented them today with one of my bank statements. After asking them to…
Read MoreLiving with 290: Does THIS part of PC 290 exist?
I was just “in-person verified” by the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Dept. today, and informed that PC 290 REQUIRES that each individual registrant have their registration verified IN PERSON TWICE YEARLY. Does ANYONE KNOW WHETHER THIS ANY PART OF PC 290 “REQUIRES” THIS? If so, please post a response. If not, please refer me to an attorney who I can contact that will SUE THIS LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY OUT OF EXISTENCE OVER THIS.
Read MoreLiving with 290: If I had been straight
My experiences with 290 have shown me that contrary to everything I have ever believed, our law enforcement and judicial systems are both corrupt and unjust. Allow me to share my story, albeit a bit lengthy. I am an older gay male raised in a time when it was still considered mental illness. So I have not been open or out about my sexuality with the exception of some family and very close friends. If you were to meet me you would never know that I am gay. I’ve lived…

I have been really touched by all the Story’s and family tragedy’s I have read here! I think you are all brave for sharing your stories. I can relate to all of you and I can relate to the negatives! I was always on the other side looking in, until it happened to me! I am from San Francisco, and 25 years ago, I was a San Francisco Police officer. And one night changed my life forever and in one hour of stupidity! I am now a RSO! I have…
Read MoreLiving with 290: Without an answer
I know that I posted this earlier in the general comments. Someone suggested that it should have gone under, living with 290. So for those of you who have already read this, I’m sorry. I have tried to edit this and make some changes. But I have done all of this on my phone, so I ask that you excuse me. I really don’t know how to tell this story, so I will simply start from the beginning. You will have to forgive me for my grammar is essentially non…

For 13 years now, I have been going on cruises with my wife and daughters! Today I attempted to book a 4 day cruise with carnival! I was told I am permanently banned from all cruises! I asked why, and the specialist told me I was a RSO and Carnival does not allow RSO’S on cruises. I then asked her where she got her information from? She hung up on me.
Read MoreLiving with 290: Maybe I shouldn’t have answered the phone…
Where to start with my story? I guess I will start with my conviction in February 2015. I was convicted of PC 647.6(a) and 288a(b)(2) and received 365 days with half and five years felony probation and lifetime 290 registry. At the time of my sentencing, I was time served and was released that day after seven months. At that time, I had the support of my family and was able to stay with my aunt and uncle, after losing my own place and job during my incarceration. There was…
Read MoreLiving with 290: Inquiry about probation and being on the registry
Hello everyone, I had a question in regards to the registry. I understand that probation comes with a set of rules, depending on the PO assigned, can I ask what your personal experience was like when you started probation? I have heard some horror stories and was hoping some of you would be willing to share how the experience was/has been for you? Secondly, can you tell me what being on the registry has been like? I understand that finding work is going to be really difficult, have you been…

Read MoreLiving with 290: Professional Licensing
I was charged with Lewd Acts with a Child Under Age 16 in 2005, the alleged events took place in 1988. After $50,000 in legal fees and facing another $30,000 to start a trial I accepted a plea bargain. 18 month and lifetime registration (the word bargain is not what I would call it) For what it’s worth, the charges were false… but the “victim” got a $5 million settlement from my insurance. I have managed to be self employed and started building a new career, but I need to…
Read MoreLiving with 290: About to Discharge Parole. Now What?
After being convicted of a felony and 3 misdemeanors, I served 50% of 5 years (2.5 years) in prison and am now approaching the end of my 3 year parole. For all of the negatives that can come with Parole, there is at least one positive: someone tells you exactly what you must comply with. You’re told where you can and cannot live, you’re told what you can and cannot do for Halloween, and you’re told where you can or cannot be. I’m excited to have most of my limitations…

This occurred in Orange County in October of 1994, I served 3 years probation and had to go to counseling for the 3 years. When the victim turned 18 we started a long term relationship that lasted over 8 years. I understand the law and do realize the ramifications of my actions. This happened over 20 years ago and I have been…
Read MoreLiving with 290: Mundane Purity
I titled this story “Mundane Purity” because I thought it was a catchy title and may grab someone’s attention. I met a woman when I was in the Marine Corps in 1998 and married her 3 months later. She had two children I raised as my own and we were blessed with a 3rd child that was born in January of 2000. I’m not going to bore you with the details of our marriage but I’ll try and make a long story short and get to the point. I hired…
Read MoreLiving with 290: Endless Sentence – But Hopeful.
I am new to the site, did not know it existed. I am a 290 registrant, with no options for relief but a Governor’s Pardon. My case was non-violent. I got my case in 1998, was my first experience with law enforcement. Not knowing the consequences I plead no contest to my charge. I acted stupidly and thought this was the “honorable” thing to do. I ended up with doing almost 7 years in prison. Wasn’t until I paroled that I found I would be a life time registrant. I…
