Because of politics, if I had to guess.

I am actually trying to get a answer please, I sent a email out a month ago to the director of Indiana department of corrections and this where I got my charge he sends me back a response that was ridiculous he says there is no records of me being on the registry in Indiana so he did a state search and found my name in two states one here in Florida and the other in South Carolina well here is my question how in the heck can this be legal ? I was never charged or convicted in either two states for a sex crime
2 nd question is my case was sexual misconduct with a minor
A “c” felony and the law for my state stated if convicted on or after June of 1998 then the case that I was convicted for I would of had to register, but my case was on February of 98 a whole 4 months before the state changed the law for that charge, I know there is some one out there that can help me please!

The sext she sent was of herself and she sent it willingly. Apparently, the 2 people she sent it to are not being charged even though they viewed the photos. Considering this, the penalty for adults simply viewing a few photos online, some of which the FBI has to determine if they are even underage, is a felony. Those convicted often lose their jobs, homes, families, etc. As far as I’m concerned the 16 year old and adults who have no prior record who have simply downloaded a small amount of images that do not depict violence or actual sex should be given a misdemeanor and counseling. We are filling up prisons and registry roles with crimes that equal possession of marijuana in the past, but no politician wants to touch it and it has become an industry as well. Think of the money and jobs involved enforcing these archaic laws and it is quite obvious why no change is likely to occur.

Congress has known about this for nearly a decade and refuses to fix the problem they created. The Sentencing Commission has reported on it but also refused to fix it on their own.
