A reporter from Minnesota Public Radio is seeking interviewees for her radio show. Below is her message and contact information:
My name is Natalie Jablonski, and I’m a producer at Minnesota Public Radio. I’m doing some research into the history of sex offender laws and how they impact registrants and their families. I’m looking for people who might be open to talking with me about their experiences as a result of being on the registry. I’m especially interested in hearing about housing and employment challenges you might have faced, or issues you might have run into visiting or living with your kids. I’m also interested in hearing from people who are on the registry as a result of having a consensual relationship with an underage person. If you’d be open to talking with me, let me know the best way to reach you, and what time might be convenient to give you a call. My contact info is [email protected], or (651) 290 – 1412. Thank you so much, and hope to talk with you soon.

JV, I understand and while this may be true- I’ve already had my 2015 ration of death threats and public shaming. Let’s see how I do in 2016. Wish me luck, friend!
Generally speaking no RSO wants to be interviewed by the media becuase they are afraid of vigilantism.
You can agree to speak under the condition of anonymity.
I sent her my info as well. Interestingly enough I have rarely seen any RSO Interviews aside from Doc Films. Even with guaranteed anonymity there is a built in defense mechanism becuase of media hysteria.plus the fact wanting to be treated with respect and fairly may not happen. It seems always; ok.. we have the opinion of the advocates to stop child abuse and law enforcement, now lets hear what the Monsters have to say. Its never fair & Balanced! Jv
I disagree. There are many articles which have been written over the years which portray registrants humanely and sympathetically.
Some, such as Nicole Pittman’s piece, “Raised on the Registry” have made a huge impact.
I sent her an email…I’ll keep you posted.
