Falsely labeled a sex offender by Bureau of Prisons, Bronfman’s win upholds constitutional rights

On November 16th, after months of court proceedings against the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and a series of cases that raise questions about government and prosecutorial overreach, Seagram’s heiress Clare Bronfman successfully won the removal of a false “sex offender” label from her Case #No. 3:22CV838 file. Ms. Bronfman spent over two years in a higher security prison than her sentencing required after the BOP falsely labeled her a sex offender.

After months of administrative appeals, Ms. Bronfman’s attorneys, Ronald Sullivan and Duncan Levin, filed for a writ of habeas corpus, arguing that the false “sex offender” designation and its stigma violated her Constitutional rights.

    It’s almost as if a label – the government claims is “civil and non-punitive” – actually upends and displaces one’s life. Yeah, nothing punishing about that…. /s

    The government again broke the law and the FBI again caught planting evidence…shocking….
    On other notes the sex offender label and registry are not punitive so how can she win?

      The FBI hasn’t been caught doing anything. They are making an allegation in a press release, citing unnamed experts.

    So the label “sex offender” has a negative stigma and violates and individual’s Constitutional rights.

    Interesting…who would have ever imagined that! 🙁
