Mother of RSO, and concerned citizen. The registry, as it stands, helps no-one. It is too lengthy and contains people that have never and will never harm anyone. For this reason, people who want to protect their children will tire of looking through such a list, and will stop referring to it.

Wife, Mother and Daughter. My father would have been a RSO under these laws, he and my mother met she was 14 he was 21, they were married 30 years before he passed away. My first BF would be a RSO even tho the act was consensual since I was 16 and he was 18. I think the laws need a way to distinguish true predators and consensual acts between people. Until they do I will have raise my children to ask for valid ID before kissing anyone.

My fiance is now classsified as an rso...alleged offense occurred when he was just 18 and 3 months against a stalking neighbor with a crush who was 12 yrs and 9 months.  I am the mother of 4 male children...very outraged and offended by current laws... My feeling is how dare the awa and jessica laws be targeted and created by someone with bias and vengeance. Our loved ones are having to pay for Mr Walshs' son because he is predatory in inflicting vengeance and punitive actions for all to incur due to his child being murdered.  That in itself is a hate crime endorsed and sponsored by our government

rso who plead guilty to consensual sex with girlfriend of two years.. I was 17 at the time of the crime which occured in 1988 and she was 14. I put in a guilty plea in 1993. Then, about 3 or 4 months before my probation was completed the sex offender registration took effect in Texas and I was placed on the list. On one other side note, the retroactive registration laws (from what I have read online) were overturned by the Missouri Supreme Court in appx. 2008 (missouri was where the crime occured) but the laws of Texas keeps me on the list. One other point of interest was last year my S.O. profile on dps showed an ending registration date of 8/26/2008. When i called SAPD to find out what it meant I was told it was an error and it was changed back to lifetime regisrtation a few days later. That date was 10 years to the day after my probation ended. No one could explain why it was changed and who did it. Makes me wonder why it changed and if I am legally supposed to be on it, but what choice do I have?

I am an un-employed RSO & soon to be evicted. My recent interview with the SOTP conselor & registration officer did not prepare me for the reality of life as an RSO. Misinformation and sketchy info is their by-line. I applaud the public's right to know but only where there is a true risk to the public. The high risk people should be watched. Leave the low risk offenders alone to live as normal life as possible.

Enraged mother of wrongly convicted teen low-risk RSO who will face a life of unfair treatment and public humiliation under the current laws. Convicted murderers, rapists, armed robbers, etc.--all violent criminals--are not required to register with local law enforcement and the public is not informed of their whereabouts...Unfair Treatment! I say a Class Action Law Suit on behalf of all low-risk RSOs is in order!

I am placed on the sex offender registry and my family has suffered ever since. The state of Oregon classified me as a predatory because I continue to maintain my innocence with an affidavit of recantation from one of the alleged victims and a letter from another one admitting that I was accused so that a plan for 5 of the boys could conspire to defraud the insurance company for money.

I too want to protect children, but there are many who made mistakes in the past who are definitely not a danger to children or society. We need "degrees" of offenders and time limits to punishment for those who are not dangerous.
Thanks for your efforts.

My brother Antonio Jauregui was trapped by this outrageous law and has been put through hell trying to comply with the mandates. He was charged with a sex offense for having a child with a woman with whom the state of Texas has allowed him to live with for the last 8 years!! If his offense was so horrific, why would he be allowed to live with, support, and love a woman that he allegedly assaulted. My brother has struggled to find or keep a job, find adequete housing, and has been unable to participate in any of his son's milestones in school. When he complies with his mandated classes, the counselor keeps him in class ALL day and forces him to miss work; therefore, tainting his ability to be a reliable employee. He has had to endure verbal and mental abuse from probation officers and counselors. He feels trapped because his life is literally in the hands of this extremely FLAWED system!! His family has also been held hostage by this system in the larger scheme of things!! My brother, Tony, has tried to be a good provider, father, son, and brother. He deserves to have a chance to live a productive life and be removed from this registry. He is NOT a sex offender!! He just happend to fall in love with a younger girl and remains with that woman to date; eight years later!! Please consider this signature a plea on my brother's behalf.

I am a convicted sex offender of a 3rd degree felony  22 years ago. In 1988 recieved a ten year probation sentence and was released in 1998. The charge was Indecency with a child by exposure. My 14 year old sister In law. She is 36 years old now. I was convicted in the state of Texas. I live in florida now and after all of these years I still have to register even in other states. I have been punished enough. I am so very sorry what I have done but what about people that commit murder? or drunk drivers that kill innocent people? They dont have to register. I have never even had a traffic ticket in 22 years and I feel like every time I register, twice a year, I am still being punished.  Its time to end registering of offenders that are not a threat or danger to children or anyone.
