No longer in FL but on the FL registry?
If you are on the Florida Sex Offender Registry but no longer living in Florida, FAC is organizing a potential legal action to seek removal of those no longer in our state.
There are currently over seventy thousand (70,000) individuals on the Florida registry. In fact; less than half are actually physically present in the community. MOST are incarcerated, moved out of the state, were only here temporarily and had to register, have been deported or are deceased.
The purpose of Megan’s Law (public disclosure) was to create, “notification programs so the public can be warned about sexual offenders living in the community.” Florida’s registry is comprised MOSTLY of people NOT living in the community.
If you remain listed on the Florida public registry, but are no longer residing in a Florida community, you may be eligible to participate. It is important to note that since most FAC members are IN FLORIDA and this potential suit would not benefit them, FAC cannot help in funding this suit. Costs will need to be shared by those participating in the suit and it is our hope that by bringing several similarly situated people together, the pooled resources will enable this lawsuit to move forward, where individual resources might not.

Anything new on this front? I’ve been off my states registry for 6 years now, and Im still registered in Florida because of a honeymoon I took there.
Actually, my honeymoon was ruined because we went to Palm Beach and a day after checking in the sheriffs came to my hotel room and told me I had hours to leave Palm Beach.
Anyways, while being on Florida’s registry (and the National one because of that) hasnt affected me much in my daily life, I would still love to be removed so I wouldnt have that fear that someone will discover it.
Thanks for any new info!
What’s new is that donations to our Out-of-State Challenge, which will sue the state for removal of our-of-staters from the registry, now has a matching donor.
Thanks Jacob.
Is this still ongoing? I would love to help. I too registered in FL when I was there for five days in 2007 and am still on their list.
It should be since funds have been collected since 2017 which is 6 years ago! One of the main reasons that we have little hope is that nothing seems to ever happen or if it does it is endlessly delayed for one reason or another.
Who knows how many donated and have died of old age waiting?
I am not being pessimistic but it seems like this is so clear cut yet – if nothing can be done with something so obvious it really dampens hope of anything EVER changing in Florida. (Except more punishment added)!
Perhaps if this was on the front page and stayed there we might see more motivated as more who are listed but living out of Florida might become aware of this case and actually donate!!!
The FAC has a legal fund for this that only has $11K of $25K funded. Contribute some money because only a lawsuit will force the FDLE to remove them.
If everyone of the 30,000 people who are on the Fl registry that do not live in the State gave $1, they would have more than enough to file and maintain the lawsuit.
When you say you have a matching donor…. what do you mean by that. When will we see progress of out of state removal?
I live on Ohio and was required to register until Sept 2019 during that time I visited Florida to see my elderly mother and did the right thing and registered as a visitor. Now Florida is refusing to remove me this is so wrong
I AM GOING TO BE SHOUTING SO COVER YOUR EARS THAT BOTHERS YOU!
I HAVE NOT LIVED IN FLORIDA FOR OVER 15 YEARS. I WAS NOT THEN AND I AM NOT NOW A THREAT TO ANYONE IN FLORIDA – WHY – BECAUSE I AM PHSICALLY THERE!
I DEMAND REMOVAL OF MY NAME AND THE OTHER 35,000 AMERICAN CITIZENS WHO SHOULD NOT BE LISTED ON THE DECEPTIVE, INACCURATE AND FRAUDULENT FLORIDA SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY!
So what information is Florida providing to the national registry for people who are no longer resign in Florida?
