Looks like you could do something in NY. You can ask for a lower level or try to get off the registry. Google “How To Get Off The New York Sex Offender Registry”

Pled guilty in 1999.
Part of plea agreement was that I would “accept” a Level 3 designation. I didn’t know (and was not told, even by MY lawyer) what that meant.
I was NOT given a Risk Assessment.
Part of that plea was that I would be on the SO registry for TEN years. The state legislature later “bumped” that up to TWENTY years…and then to LIFETIME.
SO…..they changed the rules AFTER my sentence.

NY is NOT the worst state for SOs but I have lost jobs and been forced to move from rentals.
And it was supposed to END 12 years ago.

NY just needs a better tool.
