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.

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.

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.

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.

One set of laws for a million-faceted set of crimes just doesnt cut the
load. Case by Case, Day by day, mitigation and compasion for the
mentally ill, Early identificaiton of abused children becoming abusers
must be tracked and trended. Education to break the chain! Early
idenfication of an abused child and treating that child will make that
child less likely to abuse as an adult. Restrictive time frames on how
long an abuser can be accused must be evaluated and leading, self
righteous mental health providers be educated in the true cause of
biologically based illnesses of the abusers. Teach compassion and
forgiveness, NOT hatred, remorse, and grudge

RSO, 42 this
year and unemployed, collecting unemployment benefits. I am having a
real hard time finding a job, I always have. I went to prison 20 years
ago for having concensual sex with a minor. Didn't know she was a minor
'til the next morning. I went back to prison about 5 years ago and did 3
more years of parole for not registering on time. Can you believe
it!!!!! Another prison term over a thumb print and a signature! During
my parole, I was forced to be homeless because I could not live near a
school. I could not be at any single residence for longer that 2 hours.
My last job, while I was on parole, I got fired, because I had a curfew
and they needed me for all hours. There's more to this nightmare, but
not enough space to mention everything.....I'm not a predator!
