As a registered sex OFFENDER I suffer every day because of the grouping effect. I did 2 1/2 years in prison because of a e-mail containing pictures of children. It was proven to be a mistake and a mass e-mail but who cares? I went regardless. The influence of a father-in-law who didn't like me made matters worse. Now i live with this over me every day. I cant get a job, a decent place to live, my truck was vandalized and constant harassment makes me SICK!!! I hate the people who make these laws. If they had to live with there decisions as i do many things would be different. Where does the punishment end? Does it ever? Does the registry do anything but give the modern day HATE groups a map to my door? Wake up Gov. Krist and smell the odor of corrupt and slander. Give me my right to privacy and right to be free. Focus on the ones who deserve the "JUSTICE" you so righteously support. Everyone involved with supporting this registry need to wake up and self evaluate.

Hello I mean you neither anger nor harm in what I am about to ask you or say. However people seem to have such a closed mind and must be unaware of how this Registry effects people. I do not condone anyone who rapes or molest little boys and girls. I fight and speak up for the men and women's life's that groups like your destroy and to mention their families lives. Well I have come to the realization that the registry list is nothing but a modern day Schindlers list. It violates the accused person's constitutional rights every day. How? Well it’s simple, re-punishing someone for a crime that they have already been punished for and singling out one crime from the next. Oh yeah, and to put the icing on the cake even certain people that have committed sex crimes are singled out from the list; the military. The " Megan’s Law " clearly states the reason for this law is to protect our community and children from Violate and habitual sexual predators. Being classified as a sex offender because a person was in a consensual relationship dose not make them any of these. It sickens me that these laws are meant to protect, but they give false hope and information to our community and not to mention destroy the lives of children and families of sexual offenders by punishing them as well. If Megan’s law is meant to protect … then if a person supposedly violates this registration why do they get a bond? If they were so concerns that these people are a threat and don’t know were they are, wouldn’t they keep them in jail? It’s a slap in the face and a big joke. It’s all about the money! It’s time for people to make a change. My goal is to make a difference and educate myself and come in contact with as many people in power and knowledge to change these laws. I believe the rapist should be known about but not people like my fiancé. I can tell you the pain that this registry has caused us. You group all offenders as one and you call sexual predators offenders? These people are put into one big group and you rally for it? For example my fiancé was charged with an attempted lewd act when he was 18 years old and his girlfriend was 15. All the kids hung out together. Why wouldn’t they? They were all peers and friends. Everyone’s parents were aware of the situation and had no problem with them dating. However, the state did, and no matter what the parents said or did the state separated the teens and charged my fiancé with the lewd act and off to prison he went! Now my fiancé and I are expecting a baby in 2 months. When I met him he was traveling back and forth from West Virginia to Florida for work. He grew up in Florida (where he got the attempted lewd act) and then moved to West Virginia. He came to Florida to only work, but then met me and decided to stay. He never had a permanent or temporary address because he would work here a few days and then travel back to West Virginia. However, he is now being charged with failure to comply with the reg. rules because when he decided to make Florida his resident. A police officer called him and said that he did not comply with the rules because he had gotten a ticket on 8-16-05 and registered his new address on 8-30-05, and that he had been living here that whole time, which is not true. The public defender that was appointed to him told him he was looking at prison time. This is sad it dose not protect children because he daughter will now suffer. People that have had consensual sexual relationships or similar matters should not be on the same list as baby rapist! People should have the right to know the difference. When a person hears the words sexual offender, rapist is what comes to their minds and that is sad. It’s sad that good men that made a mistake, such as being young and in love are classified with predators.
