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.

Wow these “Sharper Future” people seem like real big jerks. Seems like these Tom Tobin and Mary Perry-Miller shysters created a program without regard to your guys’ civil rights. Then to add the cherry on top (so to speak) Tobin in the conflict of interest? Then trying to sneak into a neighborhood in San Francisco? What else are they hiding? What self-entitled dirtbags Tobin and Perry-Miller are. Totally scandalous. I am guessing karma eventually catches up to these types?
In my opinion, Sharper Future and Tom Tobin hide a lot. I have spoken to quite a few people forced to enter Tobin-style “treatment.” The many people have said Sharper Future has been very dishonest. They tell you one thing, then make you sign away many rights. A common verbal promise they make is a promise of confidentiality. Then Sharper Future lies and makes a person sign away his or her right from confidentiality. Everything is open to the UNprofessionals of CDCR parole. The corrupt employees that operate under Sharper Future are the worst: as they are complete enablers who have sold out from helping people in order to further their self-interests. It’s a true disgrace that Tom Tobin and Mary Perry Miller have created a landscape of unethical “treatment.” May karma, as you mention, find its way.
Just finished reading the International Megan’s Law filings and was surprised to see the “declaration” by Tom Tobin of the California Sex Offender Management Board and Sharper Future. Not surprisingly, the shady two face imposter doctor shamelessly plugged the Static-99/R scam in his declaration. I am convinced, as are many of you, that the Static-99 tests are complete fraud. I read elsewhere of someone humorously comparing the Static-99/R to a pile of junk numbers being dug by fraud licensed clinical psychologists, such as Tom Tobin and Mary Perry Miller, ultimately leading to a bottomless pit into the abyss of junk science. ABEL testing? Junk. Polygraph? Junk. Static-99R? Junk. No confidentiality in therapy (or as fake Dr. Mary Perry Miller says, “no secrets”)? An insult to the basic premise of client confidentiality. History will prove Tobin and Perry Miller terribly wrong in their unethical practices in mistreating people and abusing civil rights. I am fairly certain of this.
It’s the worst that they (California Sex Offender Management Board Tom Tobin and Sharper Future Mary Perry Miller scam partner) are making profit from their civil rights abuses, veiled by draconic and misinformed laws. Someone stop these pigs!
Pigs can be adorable and are actually very clean animals. There is nothing adorable and nothing clean about Tobin and Perry Miller. Just a duo of scam artists who if were not so very good at manipulating their way into selling their containment model baloney, would probably be sitting in federal prison for selling some other scam.
In a very dishonest Hoodline article, “Sharper Future Answers Your Questions About Its Church & Duboce Plans,” “Dr.” Mary Perry Miller — an alleged licensed clinical psychologist with an alleged “Ph.D” — mentioned “containment boundary,” derived from Tom Tobin’s Containment Model scam, in which Sharper Future does not “keep secrets from one another — everyone knows everything. No secrets.” But is the very nature of a “boundary” not to mark a distinction between what is and what is not emotionally harmful? The fact this “Dr.” Mary Perry Miller fraud sells therapy without confidentiality, in which ‘no secrets’ are kept within the confines of client-therapist privilege, is not representative of a ‘boundary,’ but rather oxymoronic of the very definition of a true boundary. The Sharper Future scam artists will do anything, including pervert the term “boundary,” to further their profit motive.
Very well said. Even you name, invoking the 1st Amendment Right to free speech must be recognized by all. Even if you have poor grammar or can’t write well spread the word about your experience on review sites such as Yelp.com. I was reading the California Reform Sex Offender Laws website and a few hyperlinks to Sharper Future Yelp reviews were included. They have, more or less, 20 Sharper Future training sites so we have a lot of writing to do.
1st Amendment, very true. If Dr. Mary Perry Miller, Psy.D is so audacious to sell “no secrets,” Tom Tobin-brand, “therapy” — then label it as part of the “containment BOUNDARY” or containment model — I must ask where the true “boundary” is? It seems as an alleged licensed clinical psychologist and president of Pacific Forensic Psychology Associates Inc. Mary Perry Miller should be familiar with the term boundary and should also be well aware that she has perverted (as you say) the term “boundary” in order to further her interests. Too bad, as it seems she is in cahoots with the dishonest, pension-squeezing crooks at CDCR. As psychologists (at least the licensed ones), the frauds at Sharper Future should be well aware that sharing personal “treatment” info with CDCR is NOT REAL TREATMENT.
Many fear that Tom Tobin and his Sharper Future Containment Model propaganda will spread like a cancer in the “treatment” management of people imposed the label of registered sex offender. I would submit the argument that Sharper Future does not provide true treatment, but rather a form of veiled effort to get a person to make self-incriminating remarks. The entire premise of Tobin’s Containment Model and Sharper Future rests on the lie detector. The polygraph is not scientific; it is not approved by the American Psychological Association AND American Medical Association (among the overwhelming many other experts). Further, what type of therapy has no confidentiality? The very nature of Tobin’s Containment Meeting rests onprivate therapy-related detail open to probation and parole officers. So Tom Tobin and Mary Perry Miller are in the business of tricking people into believing they are in what therapy should be? Because it sure seems like it. Are they even licensed clinical psychologist?
Unfortunately yes. Mary Perry Miller and Tom Tobin are licensed clinical psychologists that operate under, in my opinion, a very very very shady company called Pacific Forensic Psychologist Associates (to which Sharper Future is a “division” of).
IF Cheng is right, then the standard to become a licensed clinical psychologist must not be very high. I just finished reading the comments here, other websites and some Yelp reviews concerning Sharper Future and am surprised to learn that another licensed clinical psychologist, Mary Perry Miller, is actually the President, with Tom Tobin the CEO, of the Sharper Future scheme. Some others are pointing out that SF also goes by the name Pacific Forensic Psychology Associates, Inc. Any company of this nature that seems to hide behind 2 names start to raise questions in my mind.
The containment model just seems like a cheap marketing tool that Tobin and Miller have managed to pitch to our genius government officials in Sacramento. Proof that Sacramento will listen to even the dumbest idiots!
I have lost faith in our government having seen what our government has done to my brother, many years after his only criminal offense. To read of Tom Tobin, operating as vice chair of the California Sex Offender Management Board, being quoted as a credible source by news, newspapers and media is all the more infuriating knowing what Tom Tobin has REALLY done in profiting from a very shady company with a conflict of interest that seems very wrong and fishy. Tobin is not knowledgeable. If he is, he is playing us all for fools having proved two-faced in pushing for worse laws and at the same time pretending to fight against the International Megan’s Law. I hope Tobin’s legacy, along with his Mary Perry Miller fraud, is rightfully exposed as unethical profiteers from the prison industrial complex. The First Amendment can be powerful and you need to speak up against injustice!
Ken Colwell, a misinformed real estate broker with Paragon Commercial Brokerage, calls clients Mary-Perry Miller and Tom Tobin “two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.” In “The Snitch” article, Sharper Future — a division of Pacific Forensic Psychology Associates — is erroneously described a “nonprofit” when Sharper Future IS clearly a for-profit business. Lies all around. “Nice people” don’t profit from imposing unethical “therapy” and “treatment” tactics imposed on people forced to attend under threat of parole violation. Sharper Future makes people sign their rights away. People are labeled with the STATIC-99R scam. They are forced to undergo polygraph and lie detector abuse. ZERO confidentiality. No patient-therapist privilege. Then Tom Tobin’s conflict of interest issues described by others (simultaneously holding California Sex Offender Management Board and Sharper Future executive positions). Hardly “nice people.” Hardly behavior one would expect from a Licensed Clinical Psychologist.
Well, if Ken Colwell of Paragon Commercial Brokerage would blatantly lie to misrepresent Sharper Future as a non-profit when Sharper Future is indeed a for profit enterprise, it would bring question the ethics (or lack thereof) and dishonesty that Colwell may bring into other real estate transactions. It seems Mary Perry Miller, Tom Tobin and Ken Colwell will do just about anything (including lie) to further their selfish business interests. This also shows how the media will quote inaccurate statements and portray them as true. Let’s not be mistaken that the media and corrupt business interests are big players that have caused the sex offender hysteria we now find ourselves in.
