Motion Filed to Stop Implementation of International Megan’s Law
A Motion for Preliminary Injunction was filed on February 19 asking the U.S. District Court to stop implementation of International Megan’s Law (formerly HR 515 and now Public Law 114-119). If granted, the motion would temporarily prohibit the federal government from both adding a conspicuous, unique identifier to the passports of registrants and notifying foreign countries of registrants’ plans to travel internationally.
Six declarations were Included with the Motion, including declarations from the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers (ATSA), Dr. Tom Tobin of Sharper Future and criminal defense attorney Alex Landon. The declarations of by ATSA and Dr. Tobin included statements that International Megan’s Law will not halt child sex trafficking and could result in significant harm to hundreds of thousands of registrants.
“We are grateful for the support of ATSA in our efforts to stop implementation of International Megan’s Law,” stated CA RSOL president Janice Bellucci. ATSA is an international organization dedicated to preventing sexual abuse through research, evidence-based practice, public policy and community strategies that lead to the effective assessment, treatment, and management of individuals who have sexually abused or are at risk to abuse.
A hearing date of March 30 was requested when the motion was filed. The federal government’s response to the motion is currently due on March 4, however, both dates could be postponed if the government requests a delay.

WARNING TO ALL! SHARPER FUTURE IS A SCAM!
Do people actually believe the polygraph is accurate? The peer-reviewed studies show the lie detector is only accurate as a random guess or coin toss. This should be common sense, because the test assumes that certain physical responses, primarily changes in breathing, equate to deception. IF this is true, then it would also mean that any time you also had said changes in breathing, you were also lying.
The lie detector has not only been proven an ironic lie itself (in what is a disgusting example of pure hypocrisy), its founder, William Marston, also admitted the “test” to be dubious. And this was back in the early 1900’s. ADAM RUINED EVERYTHING and PENN AND TELLER did documentaries on how the polygraph (aka “lie detector”) is a pure scam. Just Google this for yourself and see how our so-called “government” is scamming We The People. It’s really a disgusting shame.
Anyway, I’ve been hearing a lot about Sharper Future, Pacific Forensic, Dr. Tom Tobin, and Mary Perry (it’s founders) recently. Just thought I’d put it out there.
It’s really very sad the direction America is going. We can’t trust the police. We can’t trust the courts. We certainly can’t trust the “judges” who run the courts. And now we can’t even trust “doctors,” who are all being paid off by the government.
It’s really a shame how we were all lied to about how “fair” our “justice” system is. There is nothing fair or just about the court system.
And companies like Sharper Future, that relies on lies and deception, is just one example of the corruption in plain sight.
I’d be so embarrassed to work for Sharper Future. What kind of ‘person’ can work for a corrupt company, that sees the need to hide behind a corporate pseudonym (Pacific Forensic Psychology Associates), while collecting millions of dollars in federal, state and county contracts, while employing unlicensed ‘clinicians,’ and ‘doctors’ from diploma mills, to conduct ‘treatment’ methods that is considered unethical by MANY civil rights, psychology and psychiatric professional organizations?
Sharper Future and it’s corporate shell, Pacific Forensic Psychology Associates, reeks of being the most shady organizations many of us have ever heard of.
I hope history judges these ‘treatment’ charlatans, especially at these ‘CASOMB certified’ programs, for the wrong that they’ve done.
If you aren’t already familiar with how CASOMB ‘certification’ and how the ‘sex offender’ hysteria legislation came to fruition, ‘Doctor’ Tommy ‘Tom’ Tobin is the Jerkoff behind why California’s sex offender laws are so screwed up. Back from the 1980’s to 2010’s, Mr. Tobin legitimized harsher laws, in selling his so called ‘treatment’ programs, for his business and profit interests, as the mainstream media also began to fear-monger high-profile cases in the 1990’s to early 2000’s. Tobin made the right ‘friends’ with people in power to accomplish this. Tobin eventually made it to become co-chair of CASOMB, while also being CEO of his for-profit Sharper Future and Pacific Forensic Psychology Associates companies, which explains how millions of dollars in federal, state and county contracts were funneled into Tobin’s companies.
At the same time, District Attorney Nancy O’Malley was also co-chair, alongside Mr. Tom Tobin, in which she accepted a $10,000 bribe, from a San Francisco area police union, for clearing a police officer in murdering a pregnant teenager.
The irony is that what O’Malley and the police officer did is probably 100x worse than what 99.9% of “registered sex offenders” have done. And you know what the sick part is? This is only the corruption we know about… imagine what had happened behind closed doors (which the public will never find out about)! These are disgusting, corrupt, demons and villains.
Now that California has the largest sex offender population in the country (105,000+ out of the one million registered sex offenders in America), Tobin, O’Malley, and their corrupt allies, in the past five or so years, suddenly tries to play the rational actors in calling for ‘scientific’ and ‘empirical’ solutions. LOL GTFO.
Tom the ‘Doc’ is a fraud… just like his allies, his so-called ‘treatment’ program and EVERYONE that works for Pacific Forensic Psychology Associates, Shaper Future and all the other corporate ‘treatment’ programs that require ‘CASOMB certification.’ The CASOMB certification relies on these ‘treatment’ programs utilizing an array of unscientific, inaccurate and grossly misleading methods, including the ‘lie detector,’ an array of disgusting ‘risk’ assessments, essentially zero confidentiality in ‘doctor’-client relations, questionable waivers, ‘clinicians’ with questionable credentials and the government contracts (and Byzantine ‘conditions’) that encourage all of these outlandish things.
Of course, the ‘lie detector’ is just what the doctor ordered. And we all know that that alone is a load of bullshit.
People on here talking about the new model penal code and how it recommends registration for only 11 offenses and 15 years max for those offenses. Can someone provide a link? Thx!

Ok, so according to the Model Penal Code, many of us shouldn’t even be required to register as a “Registered Sex Offender.”
Only 11 crimes require registration under the Model Penal Code. And for those 11 crimes… only 15 year maximum registration period.
This just shows we’ve all be screwed by the “justice” system.
Are we going to be compensated for the time lost, the ridiculous label, and harassment we experienced from these “psychologists” and “doctors?” How about all the time wasted we spend going to the police station to “register?”
I expect we deserve millions or billions in compensation.
Maybe the fear that PFR’s would demand reparations is part of the reason that our courts and legal administrations don’t want to admit to the unconstitutionally punitive nature of SO laws and registries.
GREAT!!! So under the Model Penal Code, I wouldn’t even be labeled as a “Registered Sex Offender” by our Scammish “government.”
We can thank both Democrats and Republicans for the cluster we have now. One millions sex offenders in the so-called “land of the free.” LMAO… ya right!! We’ve all been duped—and it started through the social conditioning we all got in school and our so-called “education” system.
The way this sleazy sex offender bill was weaseled through Congress, without any committee hearing, or even open vote, makes me believe this bill is intended to slowly keep American citizens, who happen to be registrants, from emigrating to other more developed nations, as America falls to third-world status.
For the “Land of the Free,” I find it ironic that in America, a kid is now more likely to become a Registered Sex Offender than to be victimized in a sex crime. I also find it ironic, for the so-called Land of the Free, that there are now over one million Registered Sex Offenders—and that about one-third of Americans have some type of criminal record more severe than traffic infractions. Also, America has a bigger population in prison than China, North Korea, and Russia, both in number and proportionally… combined!! Why is the mainstream media not talking about this? Why isn’t this talked about on CNN, Fox News—and why isn’t Whoopi jumping out from her seat on The View about this??
The fact is that most other countries don’t have a sex offender registry. The countries that do have a sex offender registry reserve it for only the most violent sex crimes. And America is the only country with a public registry. The other countries that do have a registry keep it only for law enforcement purposes.
As for Sharper Future, and other “treatment” programs like it, I have heard that they are filled with complete dirtbags. Not talking about the “clients” though. It’s the pseudo “doctors” at these programs. You can literally read the employee reviews on sites like Glassdoor and Indeed. Most all of the prior employees say absolutely horrific things about Sharper Future, specifically. Of course, I suspect that treatment companies have a lot to do with pushing for more harsh sex offender laws, because the harsher the laws, the more money in government contracts they make. At the bottom of this, the government is the root of all evil. The government is the true villain in my opinion.
I know for a fact that a lot of these treatment “psychologists” are hurting from the $100k+ student loan debt that they had to take out for their “forensic psychology” diploma mill degrees. Higher education costs inflated because of unlimited student loans, and a plethora of grants, provided by the government, that only forces tuition to go up. In exchange, these Sharper Future type doctors have no where else to go but sell their souls to unethical and dirty programs that have to rely on fake science, like the lie detector, and civil rights violations cleverly renamed as the “Containment Model,” to do their jobs.
Someone show me the proof that Megan’s Law actually had an impact in reducing sex crime recidivism. Because from all the literature and research available now, it appears that there was no impact, or a worsening impact, on sex crime rates with harsher laws.
Again, it’s not surprising that the same government that botched Afghanistan would also botch public policy. And not coincidentally, just like America stabbed the Afghan people behind their backs, the same American government can—and will—stab each of its citizens behind their backs when it’s politically convenient.
I regret standing for the Pledge of Allegiance back in grade school. I can’t believe we all bought into that crap.
@PissedOff
You took the words right out of my mouth … some of them, at least.
It’s sad and unfortunate that “treatment” schemes like Sharper Future exist. The fact that few have spoken out about this corrupt organization is a mockery of the “justice” system.
Sharper future is sham “treatment.” It’s all a big joke. All the “doctors” in these registrant type offender shams should be blacklisted from “practicing” psychology anywhere else. Sharper future “doctors” should have their licenses pulled and forced to flee to Argentina like the Nazis.
Or maybe have all sharper future scam artists spend 5 yrs in prison for each “patient” / “client” complaint that they get. Then have all of them register as Registered Doctor Imposters for life.
Sharper future, and programs like it, is on the wrong side of history. People that work there should be ashamed of themselves.
