RM
THANK you for stating what you said about your missing paperwork. My case was also 1997 and ALL of my evidence was destroyed, even my probation information. The judge might have gotten me removed if I could have proven that I passed the probation sex offender mandated therapy. The therapist was so impressed with me, I got released from it early and my probation officer said that had “Never happened before”.
I was able to use that to get early termination of probation but no record was found years later for my removal of the registry. The only records found were that I was in prison for a few years. No records deciding your fate should ever be destroyed.

In reply to Just Sayin. I have a kinda sorta similar situation. My case is from 1997. I was charged with violating F.S. 794.05(1) ("Unlawful Sexual Activity with a Minor 16/17 Years of Age"). I pled guilty, and the state never established whether the victim was 16 or 17 years old because legally, it doesn't matter in Florida. Also, the offense occurred some time around his 17th birthday and nobody was sure of the exact date of the offense, so even the information (indictment) simply states that the victim was a person 16 or 17 years of age and that the offense occurred sometime during an approximately month-long period. And my case is so old that none of the original paperwork can even be found other than the information and the sentencing orders (nothing was scanned or digitized by the clerk of the court back then). On the Broward Clerk of the Court website, there are no viewable files in the case history. I don't imagine it will really ever matter, unless I ever move to one of the few states where the age of consent is 17 (like in Texas), and then it would probably be a complete mess.

I love that cities Attorney, the truth will set you free, from having to move.

“Senior Assistant City Attorney Trey Qualls explained that the ordinance could not be applied retroactively and warned that stricter rules might expose the city to lawsuits”.

What are they gonna do, research each and every case to determine if 1) there was an actual victim, and 2) the victim was actually less than 17 years of age? For example, I was prosecuted federally for possessing CP. But, the feds didn’t produce evidence of a single victim and they never proved anyone was underage.
