In reply to Machiavelli. I guarantee you they did. And I wouldn't be surprised if the transcripts of the conversations were edited.

In reply to tearfuleagle. Contrary to popular opinion, I think that 90%+ of all sex crime committed is the result of poor judgment. Not some mysterious, uncureable, phantom mental illness that many people and courts seem to think runs rampant. Also contrary to popular opinion, poor judgment is NOT a mental illness. That, more than anything else, explains why sex crime recidivism is so low (again, contrary to popular opinion). Note also that when registrants get arrested, it's always for a registry violation. And even in the few-and-far-between cases of a registrant that commits another sex crime, there's never a concurrent registry violation to go along with it, meaning that they were 100% registry compliant. For the life of me, I can't figure out why the lawyers fighting registry cases never point that out.

In reply to Bill Harford. Generally true but off topic.

Calling a choice a mistake is a cop out.

I still use Craiglist (May be the only person on earth that still does LOL)
But I use it for selling things like furniture etc. Lately my luck has run out as it seems craigslist has run its course.
Having said that, where I live I think they removed the dating section all together, although I would never trust meeting someone from there. And if you do, make sure to meet in a busy place where there are witnesses and safe.

@RM
On you last sentence you said “How does this make any sense?”.

Can you honestly give us one thing about the registry that makes sense? “Crickets chirping in the background”. I think the authorities need to write a Pamphlet called “How to navigate and understand the justification for the offender registries”. And hey, what about them having our backs by allowing us to have assurances that we will be on it forever, and even sometimes after we are dead. It is the gift that keeps on giving that nobody wants.

I made a dumb decision and answered an ad on Craigslist. I feel like my punishment wasn’t as severe as it could have been seeing as I said no and walked away from the conversation initially. But when the person texted me later I caved in and went to the suggested meeting place. But since my release from prison eleven years ago, the label has made life more of a burden than it should be and I still get punished for a thirteen year old mistake.

In reply to TS. That's what you get when you have cops that do nothing but troll the internet.

In reply to TS. The Romeo and Juliet provision is not a defense to any of the offenses for which they were criminally charged. In their cases, it will only provide a potential vehicle for eventual removal from the registry, and then it's up to the judge, not automatic.

I know someone also posted about the 130 PFR’s that yielded 0 arrests. Question for all of you. Do you think it’s because we are on the Registry or do you think that majority of us made dumb choices. I think i had 4 PO’s in my 9 years 11 months and 13 days on Probation. One of them called me felony stupid. Not a criminal just bad choices. Also, I think the majority of us realize the pain we caused for everyone. I carry a ton of guilt. But God has been good.
