I am generally opposed to the notion of destroying a person's life forever due to a criminal conviction (that is, a conviction for which the person will eventually be released and expected to be a contributing member of society afterwards), and I oppose mandatory lifetime registration requirements. That being said, California has now posted this information online, and damn if I didn't go searching online to see if any of my neighbors are sex offenders (I do have 2 little boys, after all). Am I a major hypocrite? Maybe so, I don't know what I would've done had I found a neighbor on the site, I don't think that there's much I could do. Perhaps I'd try to use some connections to find out what his prior was really about (sorry to those who are offended by my use of the word "he," but in my experience, and also on the site, I found next to no females there). If it wasn't serious (as many are not), I would not stress out. But, I wonder to myself, what would I do if I found out that 15 years ago my next door neighbor had his 10th conviction for molesting and kidnapping small boys, and he snuck in just before all the heavy sentences for this really kicked in in 1994? Are my views as a parent different than my views as a human being, as a Public Defender?
I did have fun looking up some of my old clients to see if they were in there. I guess it's good news for the makers of the site that, except for one, they were all in there. This means that they may have actually done a good job of putting the site together. I was surprised at how few people I had on the list. I have my own computerized records of every case I've handled for 7 years. In that time, I think I've only pled about 3 people to that list (I've never lost a trial for sex charges, I've done a couple, but none were convicted of sex offenses, and some walked). I have other clients with these offenses in their past who are in the database also.
An interesting side-note to this is that the database is off-limits to sex offenders. How they manage to enforce this, and why it is against the law, is beyond me. Perhaps they don't want these people commiserating, on the off chance that one pedophile wants to hang with another one, this way they can't look each other up. Of course, most of these people are required (I'm betting they don't typically go voluntarily) to go to sexual deviancy classes, so they probably meet plenty of others that way instead.
A couple of different sites have some discussions about the illegality aspect of this site, with some interesting back and forth. J Soglin of Criminal Appeal has a post on it here, and Professor Douglas Berman at Ohio State University has a follow-up on his sentencing blog.
The Volokh Conspiracy also has some discussion of the subject (I couldn't link to the specific post for some reason, so you have to scroll down a few posts to find it).

First off, from what I can tell this is being posted as "Anonymous" because I don't have a Blogger account. Not because I'm trying to hide behind the "Anonymous" title.
25 years ago I made a big mistake. I got arrested for PC288A. I plead "No Contest". I was sentenced to 3 years probation, and told I had to register with the local police. Since then I have tried to put the past behind me. I have made a good career for myself, been a loving uncle, a good person, even a mentor. That is until 2 officers arrived at my door the other day. I had not kept up with the changes in the law over the years. I had done what I was supposed to do at the time and tried to moved on with my life.
Now my life is being destroyed by Meagan's Law for a mistake I made 25 years ago. It was bad enough for everyone when this happened 25 years ago. Today I learned I can no longer be a mentor.
I'm 50 years old now! How long do I have to pay for something that happened 25 years ago.
The officers told me that I was in violation of the law and had to go to the local station to reregister as a sex offender. Not only did I have to go in and have photos, palm and finger prints, blood and DNA taken, I learned that what happened 25 years ago is now public knowledge to anyone on the Internet.
It's humilating and embarassing. Soon my friends, neighbors, co-workers and some of my family will think I'm some kind of perv. All they will see is my picture, address and the offense. For all they will know it happened yesterday not 25 years ago.
See me soon on the Meagan's Law site. Hope my pics are good cause legally I can't even look at them.

We all have mixed feelings about what to do about and with child molestation. We all have concerns about State and Federal controls in relation to or rights and freedoms.
Consider my experience.
My whole life I have been told of and feared the threat of the government taking away my freedoms and the government has hurt and angered me as I have aalways practiced passive non-compliance. It is however my neighbor and fellow citizen that will steal my goods, actively persue and initiate an opportunity to pork my wife or daughter, knowingly sell me defective goods, take advantage of any ignorance or misguided compassion I exibit, lie, cheat and sue me without consequence. If someone's evil ways catch up with them socially they are free to move to another city or state and cultivate a new social life and perpetuate their evil ways. (I am no Christain)
It makes sense to publicize those we can prosecute and it should be nationally publicized that criminal acts also carry social consequence that cannot not be hidden from and may well last a lifetime. That is the detoutance and anyone that cannot appreciate that consequence needs to be enlightened. A legitimate respected organization could be established that would rehabilitate and license as rehabilitated and felon that seeks help and from there discrimination could be deduced. The rehabilitation process must be trusted by the public yet the recitivism rate of pedophiles and drug users could easily destroy the trush of rehibilitation so what do we do. For now we do what makes sense and that is to know who is a potential threat regardless of the consequence to, or denial of the individual that has created that threat.

A reply to the 50 year old anonymous poster:
What you did 25 years ago may have been a 'mistake' for you, but I guarantee that it was a life-shattering trauma to the victim. That victim has had to live with your crime every day and likely has had to spend thousands on therapy to sort through the demons you have put there.
It sickens me that in this country anyone could have more sympathy for the criminal than the victim. Your life may be destroyed by Megan's Law, but you destroyed the life of an innocent child. Rest assured, what you refer to as "something that happened" translates to "something horrible that happened to me that I will never get over" to the victim. If he/she has to live with it, why do you think you're owed forgiveness?
I don't think there is a crime harsh enough for sex offenders. Just be glad you don't live in a Muslim country where you could be hanged 24 hours after your crime was proven.
Thats the sad thing 25 yrs ago for you and you want to forget it..But I promise you that the victim will never forget...Forever the victim lives with the pain and humiliation of what happend to them.
More emphasis should be put on the victims feelings than the convicted..
I just read up on the PC288A...if the articles I read are correct, that is Oral Coppulation with a minor....At 50 your still guilty and should pay for the rest of your life...Sorry but you did the crime...
Dear all.....
There is nothing more dangerous than ignorance and paranoira and the Megan's Law requirment of registrant's posting does nothing but fuel this. Few registrant's actually deserve to be posted on that site and the true natue of the resons for a said registrant's postings are never fully explained.
With regard to true child molesters who abduct, abuse and force sexual acts upon minors perhaps they should receive a life sentence to honestly protect society and do not release them. But, for young adults who are deceived by under age females and regarding males when under 18 females enter into consentual sex the laws should differ and under those circumstances registration should not be required as these individuals are not predators but in fact victims of decption. As well, teenagers caught up in a pasionate moment, sexual beings that we are, things happen.- If, by law, an under age female is protected and free from paretnal permission to obtain an abortion why then should the laws require the male invovled to lose his freedom and future? Few americans viewing Megan's Law Sites stop to consider this, nor do they read the nature ofthe offense to understand the posting. Megan's Law is a violation of Civil Rights. The lowest violent murderer may live on your street and hte neighborhood will never know as they are not required to register. AIDs patients are not reguired to register. drug addicts are not required to register, prostitutes are not required to register... Megan's Law was intended to protect us fiorm repeat lewd and lavishish offenders that pose a true thret to society not participants within consentual sex. Wake up America! Our under 18 females are engaging in consentual sex, often they are they true predators; we need to teach our youth about the postives within waitng until they are older,wiser and psychologically prepared for the responsibilities of sex outside of marriage not punish the males.- I speak for both side of this hot topic. I am the mother of a female unwillingly drawn into this by this current hysteria by a well meaning school counsler. As the mother of a California resident, the state has taken away the rights of both my daughter and her college aged boyfriend,we could not halt the prosecution depsite the fact it was a consentual act and my daughter was days from becomming 18.- This young man in relaity has received a life sentence given the life long registration postings now required under Megan's law. Few individuals have hte tools or knowledge to understand how sick and unfair Megan's law is and how deviated form actually helping the vicitms or the public the postings are. Anyone viewing those sites are irrational, paranoid beings unequipped to understand how to process the infomration provided there.
Im Glad you are on there and you should be. You destroyed another pesons life.........um some mentor, as far as Im concerned you guys shouldnt be anywhere near our children! EVER! I have two registered sex offenders I found out down the street from me and yes I have children,what kind of security does that give me?? We live in an an upper middle class neighborhood and had I known they would buy a home here I would have never moved here!!! I know they are there, yes, but as a parent I WANT THEM GONE! You shouldnt live anywhere near a school or a community with children!PERIOD! There should be some kind of friggin island we could send creeps like you to! As a parent in the United States IM GRATEFULL FOR MEAGANS LAW! We have the right to know who you are.
My husband's name was added to the Megan's Law database a few months ago for a one time 290 offense claimed by our 5 year old daughter. He was under the influence at the time and there was nothing predatory, violent or having anything to do with exposure or penetration. From the time my husband was arrested, the judicial process has put significant strain on our family and our extended family. We have all lost friends that were dear to us. Neighborhood friends of our children no longer play with them and they are at ages where it is hard for them to understand what is happening. We are trying to stay together as a family because we believe we can heal and because there is an abundance of love between us. The judicial system does not know what to do with a family that wants to stay together. Our community doesn't either. Since the posting we are being harrassed in our community. Letters and notices with my husband's photo and info off the site are regularly being distributed. Neighborhood children are saying cruel things to our children. We are losing and will continue to lose our dignity, respect, freedom and privacy because of my husband's inclusion on the site. He is self-employed and one of the notices has been sent to one of his clients. We fear his business will be ruined and that getting a job or starting another business will be extremely difficult, if not impossible. We have reported the notices to our local police who could care less and who tell us that's what the database is for...that people in the community can use that information to alert others in any way they wish. We have already retained a real estate agent to sell our home, but we know we will face the same situation when we move. We have been forced to sell our home to help pay for attorney fees, fines, and therapy which is in the high ten thousands. My husband is being punished far beyond what is appropriate (he's certifiably not a paedophile, a predator or violent repeat offender per 3 psychologists...one court-appointed) and I and our children are being punished as well. We feel helpless but want to fight back and don't know how in a way that will make a difference or at least make us feel better. Ideas?
Megan's law could be helpful in some instances, but not all. You have to realize the all inclusiveness of the law to fully understand how it can be a detriment to someones life. In my case, when I was 16, I had a girlfriend who was 14, and after kissing her on the neck and leaving marks on her, her aunt had me arrested although she knew me, and there was nothing predatory about it. Now, 10 years later as an adult, I have to live with the mistake that I made as a child. And most of society will never know that my "crime" was between two teenagers doing what teens do. Shouldnt Megans law be for adult sex offenders? And my final remark is that a convicted murderer can live right next to you, maybe even rent a room in your home, and you would never know about it. But no one is raising any qualms about that. Why is it that all other deviants get a second chance at life, but those under the Megans law statutes are branded for life.
It is sad to hear people be so mean to each other. If we did a background check and some investigations on every person in this country, we would find some dirt in every closet. Everyone makes mistakes,everyone. Megan's law was meant to try to stop dangerous preditors from hurting our children. The laws have changed so much that pretty soon everyone will be on it or if not everyone, every family will have a member on it. What someone did once 25 years ago is no ones bussiness as long as they paid for their crime and didn't do it again. What people don't relize is just because you are convicted of something doesn't always mean one is guilty, we have many flaws in our legal system, one of them being if people can't afford a good laywer oh well. Being a survivor of sexual abuse, I have learned you can get over it and I have learned to have compassion for all people. If people keep up the scarlet letter attitude then our problems for our children will get worse which I already see happening. I believe that these super preditors will always be in our mist and most of them will never be on a registry until it is to late. When I was a teenager if all the people I saw commit, what today would be considered a sex crime, I think thousands of more people would be on the sex offenders registry. At this point anyone who has ever been convicted of a sex crime is dubbed a preditor and their life is over as well as their families. If there can never be retribution and a chance to live a normal life how can people change for the better, they won't, and we will feel safer as we push them further way from society only to wake up some day and see that we have become worse than the offenders. Think about that
I just read the comments from Victims of Meagans Law. But as one comment said "what about the victims of the sex ofender?" what do you, as a registered sex ofender suggest we, as non sex ofenders and parents and victims do to now our neighbors? You will not come out and tell me. you will probly lie about the situation, or down play it. So then what are we the people supose to do? Billy Lopez
Well one tends to post to these sites because apparently normal people turn into such wack jobs when it comes to this. I don't think the person who has sex with me when I was under age really ruin3ed my life eh? Nope they didn't; they were certainly a better introduction to the world of sex than lots of people my own age. I am happy it happened. Of course 16 or 17 is far different from 7. But it is stupid to make people criminals for life because someone really did do something awful to someone.
Note many of the things people are registered for one can happily do in Canada with any consenting person over 14. The world is not full of Canadians who have been ruined for life.
Hello everyone... first of all, Meagan's Law is a dinosaur. It is so bloated and all-inclusive for many differant "crimes" that it will soon be challenged by more and more lawsuits that rightly claim that their rights under United States Constitution have indeed been ignored, violated under the current PC hysteria banner of "protect the children". The MAIN problem with Meagan's Law is that EVERYONE is just all lumped together, and in many states, it requires a LIFETIME registration. A lifetime of fear, humiliation and being marginalized with NO HOPE what-so-ever. No light at the end of the tunnel. Under those current circumstances, how can anyone get on with their life? Do you really believe that ex-offenders are gonna just merely accept this "as is?" Unlikely and I sure hope not. Why not just "round 'em all up" and put them all on a track of desert land in Nevada..or better yet: an ISLAND way out in the Atlantic someplace! Hmmm.. I think this approach HAS been tried before, in 1942 during WWII and the anti-Japanese hysteria. It failed then, and Meagan's Law is also doomed to fail. The sooner the better.
Although my heart goes out to those who have genuinely been falsely accused and those who truely have turned their lives around, the reality is the vast majority of child molesters do not change. One person on this site asked the same question my biological father asked, "why am I still paying after 25 years for a mistake I made so long ago?" My response to you is, I'm still paying after 40 years and I was the victim! Although I've had years of therapy and made a good life for myself, the pain of being hurt by the selfish, cruel acts of someone very much like you is still a part of my life. Although the nightmares come less frequently, even after 40 years, they still come. While I know most men are not molesters, I still watch every man I see around underage children watching for signs they may exhibit of being a molester. Why should you pay? Mister, the child you hurt will pay as long as he or she lives because of what you did!!! And s/he didn't do anything wrong. But YOU did. If, as you say, you've been able to live a reasonably good life, free from prison and have a career, then be grateful--you got off easy.
You are the one who caused that person to suffer all their lives. It never goes away completely for the victim so stop feeling sorry for yourself and think about the person whose life you damaged so severly!

awwwwww.. the poor victims. All those poor teenage sluts are so screwed now that there lives have been ruined by an older boy. Wake up America. Most of your daughters are sluts and 90 percent of sex crimes now the girl.
I was wondering with a curious mind can a sex offender of rape be able ot have a normal life and find a woman that he can fall in love with and commit his self to or is it a pattern to where the woamn have to worry about if the offender will go out and do it again the situation was the accused was having sex with his then girlfriend and after they was doen with that act he told her he ws not going to marry her cause he was going out to sea for 8 month and he did not want to marry her after he left her she called the police and claimed rape on him he spemt 5 years in jail and is no on house arrest for 2 years i met him of 2005 and fell in love with him is it possible to love a rapist if some one is out there please leave me some feed back or comments and also i am pregnant with his child
You are an idiot to think this society will forgive you. You should had have your balls and dick cutoff. If you are into kids, go move to Amsterdam!

Megans Law in California is Unfair!!
Unfair to those of us who are FORCED
to REGISTER as OFFENDER every
single year for the rest of out life?
for 1944 MISDEMEANOR convictions?
The pasadena police refuse to register
manditory registrations ON TIME
now many of us are facing PRISON TIME
for a 30 year old MISDEMEANOR sex CONVICTION!!
this is totally unfair !!!!!!!!!!!!!
back in the early 1970s i was railroaded into
a false arrest wrongful misdemeanor past conviction
in los angeles county california
in fear for my life or JAIL FORCED RAPE i was
forced to take a guilty plea i was ionnocent!!
in 1996 the state of california made all former
sex convictions from check this out 1944 on to
have to REGISTER at the POLICE / SHERIFFS
stations every year on thier birthday !!!
on or about the year 2003 they finally caught up
with me and i did not know what was going on at
all!!
suddenly i was ARRESTED in rough hard HANDCUFFS
and on my way back to JAIL for failing to REGISTER
form that point on i am FORCED once every year to
go to the pasadena police station only to get
DELAYED and put off and told to go away even
after repeat APPOINTMENTS i am told everytime ...
''the lady who does that is not here'' !!!
and so what usually happens is my regestration s
are always LATE ''the pasadena police''
this last time i was ARRESTED and BOOKED for not
registering HELL I WAS TURNED AWAY FIVE TIMES !!
finally after 4 weeks i finally got to tha' LADY
now i face court AGAIN for something i did not do
back in he early 1970s !!!!!!!!!
WHERE IS THE JUSTICE HERE !! none for black men !!
and none for me !!
i may have to leave california when i become a old
man i do not want to have to do this forever!!
the state of california megans law is wrong!!
it must be reformed completely !!
i have never been charged or even accused of any
nothing like this ever since the 1970s
and i did not do what they said i did then !!
WHY AM I A FORCED REGISTER NOW?
megans law destroys your life, i was 17 and kissed a 14 year old girl, and was placed on megans law, with that i lost mulitiple jobs, friends and family all because of megans law, this law is so scrwed up, it says for a 17 year old to do something with a 14 yea old is illegal but its the same thing when a high school senior dates a freshmean but thats ok right, with having to deal with megans law i can not get into the military and that was my dream i am trying to do everything i can to make that dream happen, i am not on the registry but i am on megans law through police notification only, now if this megans law would have went to the schools and taught students about the 3 year law, then i would understand, but no of course not they just want to ruin peoples life,

I WANT TO CARE FOR HIM HERE IN AZ BUT I NEED TO NO IF I CAN GET THOSE DANG CHARGES OFF HES THE TYPE IF A GIRL CAME UP TO HIM HE'D FAINT JESUS AND THEY HAVE HIM AS A HIGH RISK SEX OFFENDER........... MY PARENTS ARE ROLLING IN THERE GRAVES ......... GOT ANY IDEAS???????
As a Mother of five I mostly believe in Megan's Law. However there must be a distiction between offenses. I feel for the woman in AZ with the brother that now has nowhere to go. I have a son that at age 17 was picked up for "peeing" behind a dumpster. This is a sex crime. He is now 30and a registered sex offender. Does anyone care or is it listed any where that he was no allowed to use the service stations restroom. NO!
I also have a friend we was convected of a crime at age 17 (now 50) not a sex crime , but drug related. He has been clean and a prductive member os sosicty after serving out his sentance ( 18 years ageo). But thanks to Megans Law his 17 year old daughter has now found out.
so i have a question, me and my boyfriend have had txt sex and i want to weather or not he can go to jail. im 17 and hes 18 i lived in california and so does he
i moved to washington state. and he still lives in california. im going to turn 18 in may and i wanted to know if he can go to jail.
Any Kind of sexual act toward a minor rather 2 or 17 years old is against the LAW but most importantly is evil and sick. Forgiveness for doing the time? That is B/S. Sex Offenders especially child sex offenders should be punished ti the fullest extent of the law, in my personal opinion the death penalty. They should burn in hell! Sick Minded Pervs. How dare you sickos! What in the hell is going through your mind to even have a though of doing such thing. I skin cringes and the hari on my neck stands up every time I hear about or read about a small child being molested. I sure that I am not the only one that feels that a fine, short jail sentence and public humilations is not enough. How ever thank goodness for Megans Law all you sickso even poss sicko need to be exposed.
Sexual act toward a minor is punishable as its against the law. Your boyfriend can be sentenced to jail, just file a case against him.

RE- BIRNEY CLARK
On 7.21.07 one of your readers posted a comment signed anonymous, and referenced a monster by the name of BIRNEY CLARK in response to a post involving "Megan's Law" and this comment was followed by another comment detailing this monsters whole M.O.- I am posting this in the hope the Anonymous person who wrote either of these bits or ideally even both of them, might see this and help me know more about this man. Someone very close to me was found dead in front of this piece of dog sh*t's place of residence and I am sure Mr Clark is responsible. There were no signs of visible trauma to the body however,so pending the tox results,which will take another 2 months to return, the Santa Clara PD is seemingly convinced, publicly anyway, that there was not sign of foul play and that is it....I am fairly confident the toxicology will show something abnormal...I am stuck on the idea that he was OD'd with GHB or something along those lines. I am 100% sure the person mentioned on this page on 7.21 is the same waste of life I am speaking of, the DOBs and details are accurate with the person of whom I speak.I am desperate folks and even more than that determined to be a voice for my loved one who was murdered by this predator ( which I will prove if it takes me the rest of my life!!!!) 24 is too young to be taken from this life and no one,save for scum such as Mr Clark, deserves to leave this life the way my boy did!!! Cold and alone and no doubt terrified....Please help me.... if this Anonymous person is out there!!! Please help me make this puke pay!!!!
Megan's Law does not protect the innocent, and really doesn't punish the guilty enough. And before you are subjected to this Law, there is a trail, and you are convicted. So live with it, or do everyone a favor and don't live with it. Child abusers are the worst type of predators, and should be hunted down like Wild Animals. If we CAN NOT protect our children from you, then at the very least we should be able to punish you. Life isn't fair! And if you feel you were wrongly convicted, fight it. The Laws should be tougher on Pedophiles’. I like the island Idea. Ok it was wrong picking on a person because of their race, but being prejudice over a crime that involves our children, well that is a legitimate reason. Megan’s Law may be a dinosaur, it needs to be tougher, scarier, and causes the child abuser pause to commit these crimes. And if you disagree, it is obvious you do not have a child. Some mistakes in life you pay for, if you get in a car accident when you are 20, and loose both legs, that is not fair, but it happens. You decide to take advantage of a child for you own sexual gratification (and get caught) you register. There are more of you out there than anyone can ever know, and the small percentages of those of you who get caught offer only a small protection for those families who care to look at the registry.
Megans law destroys all of the family even down to the grandchildren. Because the information can be used to threaten, harass and hurt anyone related to the offender By anyone off the streets.
