I don’t know how a human being with the cognitive abilities of a second grader supposed to complete a SO treatment program. Given my own experience and having listened to others. I just don’t think that it’s likely happen. The treatment process by far appears to be a one size fits all program. I suppose that an individual program would work, but I don’t think that is the case here.
I also think that it can be argued that since this man hasn’t reoffended, just how effective is such a treatment program.

“Mr. Dobosu has never completed sex offender treatment,” countered Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Ford Milani.

‘A Sex Offender Treatment Program’…….’A Group Therapy Program’, that reminded me of CHARADES……

After 6 weeks, they graduated me…Judge told me it would take 2 years!…
-He was incorrect!

The ‘Dr xxxxxx’……wanted me out of there! trust me…..

I got a ‘certificate’. I hang it on my wall and show it when they do compliance checks!

I went in a couple weeks ago to check in for my scheduled check in and the officer there told me there was legislation going through the state ( Missouri) to change the tier three class offender because it is for life. He said it makes sense because even for murder they get 20 years so why would someone with a sex offense be required to register for life.
I don’t hold out much hope though. They have already screwed me over so many times. My original conviction was in Kansas and classified as a class B misdemeanor. Than removed from registry after 10 years. I agreed to a plea bargain because my attorney told me it was just a misdemeanor and no different than a traffic ticket. But since moving to Missouri they have changed the classifications several times so now they say I’m in a tier three with no hope of being removed from the registry as a tier three must register for life.
I could prove my innocence if I could find an attorney that would be willing to interview the kids at the time who are now in there 40s
And put them under oath to tell the truth that the original charges were entirely false. If they could even be located now.

Congratulations! Both to The Gazette for its balanced reporting, and to NARSOL for keeping themselves relevant in the media.

Notice how no one is even alleging a risk of re-offending anymore. Instead, the government’s position here amounts to, ‘we must enforce compliance, to reduce the risk of his non-compliance!’

Good judgement is obviously not required of all judges.
