IMPORTANT UPDATE: Caution: Solicitations for “SORNA Compliance and Opinion Survey”
This morning we posted the below message. It didn’t take long for us to discover that the “PRIMARY INVESTIGATOR”, Christopher Duszka, Was (at least until recently) a Crime Intelligence Analyst for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement! (see: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-duszka-90738337)
WE ARE WARNING MEMBERS TO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS SURVEY!!! Who knows how the information you provide will be used against you by FDLE, who is the defendant in pending registration challenges. At least we know how this snake got everyone’s email addresses!!!
A number of our members have received emails concerning a “SORNA Compliance and Opinion Survey” conducted by someone at Southwestern College in Kansas.
FAC has no information on this “Survey”, but is very curious and concerned about how the survey organizers obtained the email addresses of individuals on the Florida registry. If anyone can simply access our personal email addresses for surveys, marketing, solicitations or any purpose, it’s concerning.
We will dig into this further and advise.

The college itself is legitimate. It has been around since 1886 and appears to be a private college run by the Methodist Church. This college has a reputation to protect so won’t knowingly participate in any deception. It appears that this college professor put out the survey not realizing the legal implications to registrants and was previously associated with FDLE for perhaps 9 months.
This is probably a legitimate survey. The reason that I am recommending that registrants not respond is because their answers are admissible in court and could lead to a term of imprisonment. If you responded to the survey, you most likely don’t have to fear prosecution.
I reached out to the college advising them of the legal implications of the questions asked in the survey. My recommendation is that they abandon this survey in it’s current form. Registrants may benefit from this survey, but because they can be prosecuted for their answers, it needs to be done in a manner where registrant’s anonymity is guaranteed.
This doesn’t totally rule out a sting. All of my communications with the “college” have been by email and one email was flagged by Gmail as not being from the college’s email address. This could be due to a college employee sending the email from home or another remote location. If this is a sting, they will have to abandon it once the college administration becomes aware of it’s existence. I am convinced that this is a legitimate survey but advise against responding until the legal implications are worked out.
“It appears that this college professor put out the survey not realizing the legal implications to registrants and was previously associated with FDLE for perhaps 9 months.”
He worked for the FDLE as an investigator, was possibly aware of Does v. Swearingen, and did not realize the legal implications of his survey? The guy has no formal legal training or law enforcement training??? Give me a break!
There is no way to know for fact I was the specific person filling out the survey! Wouldnt hold water in court. This survey smells of a cop sting probably FDLE to bust non complaint Florida RSOs.
The College won’t respond to my investigation, I wonder why? JEV – True Confessions
I could admit publicly to killing millions of people, but unless they found millions of bodies, than any charges would not hold water.
So just because you admit to something, doesn’t mean it is real, nor does it mean anything.
I admitted to a snitch that I believe in aliens, I had sex with aliens, been aboard their ships, and even to have a half human and half alien hybrid child. I knew they would love this, and would quickly try to prove me insane to throw away the key in some mental institution… after I was sure they “made plans”, I told my wife over the jail phone… “You know my little alien (European) … I told them XXX…. and the dumb arses believed it, and didn’t expect that I was calling you, with a green card, an alien! So… you told them something, don’t fret. means, nothing in court.
Heads up – yesterday my son did his updated registration (Volusia) and then later he gets this survey email. Could be a coincidence but I think not! Even if this person is legit this makes me furious! This officer is using his position to gather personal information on these registrants. Not OK! Thank you FAC and please let us know if you find out any more information about this.

Just a friendly correction. Kansas City is 185 miles from Wichita and this College isn’t even in Wichita but a small town outside Wichita. It appears it’s only an on line corses with enrollment less than my high school. Why is only Florida being targeted? All very fishy.
I have not received a E- Mail from them.
Tim P. and the others who have responded to this survey:
For the moment don’t fret because there is a possibility that this is a legitimate survey. There is nothing you can do at this point anyway.
To those who haven’t replied:
Don’t reply until all of the concerns are addressed. I received an email that states this is a legitimate survey. But a previous email was flagged by Gmail as not from the college’s email address. The only way that the veracity of this survey can be verified is if someone contacts the college by phone or goes to the college itself.
If this is a sting, FDLE will back off once the college administration gets involved. No legitimate college will allow it’s name to be used in this fashion. This college appears to have a significant portion of it’s classes online. A determination must be made if this is a diploma mill or a college with a reputation that they wouldn’t want tarnished.
If this turns out to be a legitimate survey my suggestion is that the college abandon this survey in it’s current form, reach out to registrants to address their concerns prior to releasing any proposed survey and have the survey run by FAC, NARSOL, SOSEN or another group in a way that individual IP addresses are not identifiable. Registrants can remain anonymous more easily by mail. The only identifying information that the college receives by mail is the zip code the survey was mailed from. If you mail your response from a zip code you don’t live in, the college won’t even have your zip code. I am aware of the costs involved in a mail-in survey and why the college finds an email survey more cost-effective and where a mail-in survey could be cost-prohibitive. However, how this college approached registrants under these circumstances is more than tone deaf. They asked questions that could have sent the respondents to prison and didn’t seem aware of this fact. This may have been an innocent mistake on the college’s part. Society benefits from legitimate research and persons on the registry benefit from scientific research. If this is a legitimate survey, I hope these concerns are addressed, the survey is taken and the results are eventually published. In the meantime, it’s best that no one respond to this survey until these concerns are addressed.
Interesting how this guy’s information is publicly available too: The Florida Residents Directory and Public Data Digger list his previous addresses in the State of Florida and Fast People Search and True People Search list his address in the State of Kansas.

I received an email from someone named Peterson-Veatch from the college. This may be a legitimate survey.
Answering some of the questions could put you in prison for years and I made the college aware of that fact. This may all be a miscommunication. My suggestion is that no one respond to the survey until the veracity of the survey and the consequences are worked out. I suggested to the college to reach out to FAC and to address any concerns on this website.
