Are you on the Florida Sex Offenders Registry but no longer in Florida?

If you are listed on the Florida Sex Offender Registry but no longer living in Florida, we are organizing a lawsuit to challenge your continued placement on the public registry.

The intent of the public notification component of the Sex Offender Registry is to notify the public of “potentially dangerous” people in their communities. People who are no longer in the state do not present a danger to people in the community and therefore serve no purpose on the public registry.

Florida’s registry is diluted with people who moved to another state, were deported, even people do die remain on the public registry! There are people who never lived in Florida but visited here, who are on the list!

If you fall into this category and would like to participate in a lawsuit to remove your name from the Florida Sex Offender Registry, please contact [email protected].

Note: Since the majority of FAC members are still in Florida and would not benefit from this lawsuit, we are not able to use funds from FAC’s legal reserves for this suit. If we can find a group of 10-15 individuals to pool resources, we can make this happen.

    I was convicted in NC. Did my probation from 1998 to 2003 in florida. a few years ago I returned to NC, petioned for release from registration. It was granted. however Florida does not accept it. so I move in 2016 to Washhington state which accepts the release. however since moving I am still on Florida registry.

    I’m a candidate and reached out to FAC last September. I was referred to Miami attorney Ron Kleiner. He was not so positive about this being able to move forward UNLESS people get involved. We need a group of qualified candidates willing to help fund the cost.

    If you are a candidate please reach out so FAC can consolidate your name. Alternatively if you know someone who is a candidate encourage them to get involved.

    We need to fight and push back at these draconian laws the FDLE and Florida legislature keep passing, and enforcing.

    If this doesn’t apply to you please consider making a donation to FAC to help fund this legal battle.

    Blessings

      Cant we start a gofundme campaign? everyone else and their mother is for far more dumber things and i think this would be the way to get the money faster than asking RSO’s who have trouble making ends meet to fund it.

        I am going to get on that. While it is a hard sell and not a total feel good project like getting braces for a dog or a walker for an old lady, a case can be made when done so from the right angle. I will post a notice here when I have it up and running.

        I will also post a link from my site: SexOffenderTruth.com as well!

        Dear “no hope”,

        Are you a qualified candidate for the case? I “hope” so! That is two of us for sure! The gofundme campaign is one way to collect funds, but don’t’ they assess fees? From what I found out, it could keep almost 8% of each donation. If we send our funds directly to the attorney, or perhaps FAC, it will save us precious funding.

        All the best.

          The Attorney can hold funds in his firm’s trust account.

          GoFundMe is fine for scenarios that have a lot of public sympathy. Ours, unfortunately, is not. The only contributors will be ourselves. Rather than post something publicly where we’ll garner little support and it’ll cost money, the attorney can hold the funds IN TRUST.

          Contact [email protected] and we’ll put you in touch.

            if worded correctly and it shows that there is a huge injustice being done there are people out there that will give a little to the go fund me page but it has to be worded correctly. Again asking RSO’s most of whom cant pay their bills now to contribute is like asking for a cup of ice in hell. That’s why we are constantly being played with and punished we never have the funds to fight back

              we raised the funds for the Intenet Identifier case, we raised the funds for the Ex Post Facto Case, we WILL get there with this one too.
              If anyone wants to create a go fund me page, or any lawful method to fund raise for this project – I’m all for it!
              If anyone is going to reference FAC, it needs to go for board approval firs.

          keeping 8% of something for the attorneys is better than 100% of almost nothing most RSO’s dont have a dime to their name at least a gofundme campaign might reach somepeople outside the RSO community that see’s what an injustice we go through and donate
