Third Lawsuit Filed This Month Challenging Florida Sex Offender Registry

Another federal lawsuit has been filed challenging the Florida sex offender registry. This one filed in the Middle District of Florida and assigned case number D-FLM-6-18-CV-001731-001.

This suit represents the third constitutional challenge to the state’s sex offender registry filed this month (actually, the second was filed last month and the State removed it to Federal Court this month).

The next couple of months will be very interesting!

    Why is there not a lawsuit getting prepared for all these Illegal ICAC sting operations that are run like 20 times a year here in Florida and ruin hundreds of lives a years as well? Not to mention breaking up families for no crime at all? why is this not being talked about here enough? I bet there’s plenty of people on this site that are RSO’s because of this crap, and if this does not stop there will be hundreds of more RSO’s who never did anything AT all and got their lives ruined. Where’s this Pransky follow up story that exposes some hard truths? I and others have emailed YOU and him to no avail. Where’re our voices? Or does prevention not count?

      Because we are unable to fund lawsuits that easily.

          We have a thermometer on our website showing how much we still need to raise in order to bring us to the next phase.

      Joesoph, there is an amicus brief in order for Gundy. It will be heard this session and the link for all amicus briefs for 2018 is here: http://www.nacdl.org/Amicus/2018/ Gundy is about 1/4 the way down.

      I also post many updates of this sort on sexoffense dot org and as dot womenagainstregistry dot org. I hope this reply goes through without being tag as too many links. I have been an advocate for Registrant action since 2008. Also, I have heard there is now an RSOL in Arizona and would like more info. I am very involved with Vickis group and we have been getting a lot of motivation from all the similar groups who have joined in the ranks of fighting this constitutional-less SORNA.

    While we are on this roll against this unjust life time punishment that Florida is illegally imposing on those labelled as “sex offenders,” let us not forget another very important issue: the out of state challenge!

    Now that the other challenges are funded and moving forward can we work on funding the out of state challenge that would really have a devastating blow to the Florida registry by basically cutting it half after removing all those listed who are NOT physically in Florida!

    This is vitally more important for those STILL LIVING IN FLORIDA as it would show that the registry doesn’t exist for public safety to show where RSO are but rather simply to promote FEAR with lies such as the artificial numbers – now that would be blow against the Florida registry that everyone would benefit from!

      Bend Over —- (Dripping with sarcasm)
      OMG Bend Over, you/they cant cut the registry in half!! That would mean layoffs for the “sex offender units”, less money to waste, less clout, false facts for Ron Book and his “alleged victim”, Lauren. (who seems quite stable to hold down a job in politics while “trying” to play the “”VICTIM””) And dont forget his “money laundering scheme — The Homeless Trust”
      How would Ron be able to lobby for bigger prisons?
      How would he be able to spread false facts and lies about the TRUE number of sex offenders in Fla.???
      How could he have another interview with Jim DeFede about “residency Restrictions” when half of the residents are NON_EXISTENT ????

      We cant do that….. That would be telling the truth and backing it up with a little thing called FACTS !!!!

      We cant do that…. šŸ˜‰

      Many existing residents of Florida would benefit from the options created by a successful out-of-state lawsuit. Thatā€™s why itā€™s not just out of staters funding it.

    I wouldn’t be surpised if there are more lawsuits popping up. I think there are five or six Federal district Courts in Florida and two of those six now have Civil cases The state going to be busy. It be asking too much but someone should file in Tallahassee and assault their backyard as well Let them as a Sex Offender We have others who hear our cries too

      There are THREE federal districts in Florida. Northern, Middle and Southern.
      Not sure what you mean by “someone should file in Tallahassee and assault…”

        I was saying should file another case in Leon County which is the lawmakers backyard as for the assault I mean to attack them where they have home advantage and feel too comfortable and have them fight a three front war

          We do not have funds to bring another suit, especially where it will have claims duplicitous of our current lawsuit.
          Generally, when a suit has Federal Claims it needs to be filed in Federal Court.

            Where can I find your lawsuit/case to read?

          • September 4, 2019

            We have to fully fund FACā€™s out-of-state challenge.

          FACā€™s out-of-state challenge is 28% funded, at $7,104, as you will see from the FAC Out of State Challenge Thermometer.

          The challenge requires $25,000, then we can bring it. For now, we have to keep funding it (myself included).

            Are you still trying to challenge the out of state requirement for registration? If so, how much is still needed?

          • October 14, 2020

            The Out-of-State Challenge needs $4,500 more and then the process can begin. Scroll down to the Out-Of-State Challenge Thermometer below. The challenge fund contains $16,500 out of $25,000 needed (it contained only $11,000 just weeks ago!). A matching donor has pledged the final $4,000 once $21,000 is reached.
