Ex Post Facto – Sustainer 2022

March 2022 Update on the two Ex Post Facto (EPF) cases filed by FAC: EPF I case is in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. The FAC EPF II case got the green light to proceed in the Northern District of FL. The court has set a scheduling order, with a trial date set for January 17, 2023. The goal of the these legal challenges is to have the registry recognized as punitive rather than administrative. The most immediate consequence of this would be that only laws and requirements active at the time of offense could be applied to a person required to register. With your continued support, we can sustain the strength of our argument with expert testimony and the like, as well as cover other costs associated with cases of this magnitude.

Non-Registrant Collateral Consequences Challenge

This lawsuit will challenge the registration requirements imposed on people not on the registry! It will be brought on behalf of registrants' family, friends, employers and others who are impacted by the registry by virtue of living with, employing, or even sharing the same family name as a registrant. Plaintiffs will be spouses who have their vehicles registered and flagged, children who can't have a parent watch them graduate or perform in a school play, roommates who are prevented from decorating their home for the holidays, and others.
