    Exclamation Required to Register as a Sex Offender Due to Criminal Confinement Conviction

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: INDIANA

    If this is too long just read the first 4 paragraphs

    My counselor in prison who was attending law school told me to get out and fight this because I fall into a "gray area" because I don't meet none of the check marks required (some kind of screening) to be labeled as a sex offender but the law says so for criminal confinement when minors are present. She said I am not supposed to be on there.

    But anyways, on April 27, 2007, me and four others invaded the home of a 35 year old (with firearms) because he stole drugs from us. I had 2 charges, criminal confinement (b) and attempted burglary (b). The prosecutor wanted me to plea to burglary a class b, but I thought that pleaing out to confinement might be better so she said have it your way.

    I got convicted March 11, 2008, by signing a plea agreement. I found out I was a registered sex offender (to my surprise) right before I got out of prison several months ago.

    The requirement to register for this crime was not law on April 27, and I believe it became effective on July 21, 2007. The law says specifically "charged and convicted" after the certain date. It doesn't say "charged or convicted" which would require me to register. But it says I must be charged AND convicted (both) after the certain date that requires me to register. I caught the case BEFORE the date and sentenced AFTER.... So isn't this a good argument for ex post facto? This is my main question.

    This registration requirement is ruining my life. People see me on there and think I'm a child molester because they don't ever read the fine print which I believe is purposely misleading and defaming I feel like suing somebody for calling me something I am not by labeling me a "sex" offender even though there was no type of sexual anything that had any kind of sex.

    Please, I don't want to hear that I should of thought about that before I did, it or that I shouldn't have did it and I know its very bad but I take responsibility for my actions and I'll do my time for something I commit. I was even dumber back then I was only 18 and I shouldn't get a life sentence for this, and it wasn't a exactly a crime against a saint. I'm really not that bad of a guy and am actually not violent as one might profile me based on my past.

    I am also broke and can't get a job or an apartment because of this so can you please tell me what things I need to pick and choose to read and learn to prepare myself to fight this on my own? The UCLA didn't write back. Any advice other than suicide? No, all joking aside any thoughts on this? Should I try ex post facto? Reopen the case and try and plead to burglary by saying it was a burglary and face additional time for lying? Ask the courts to allow me to prove that there was no sexual intentions? Or ask THEM to prove the sexual nature of the non-sexual offense? Unconstitutional? Supreme Court? Isn't that insanely expensive?

    There should be more accurate guidelines in labeling someone a sex offender because it's there, they say, to protect the children. Labeling someone a "sexually violent predator" is basically saying they are preying on children, when in fact we were preying on the adult. There is nothing in the case indicating we were preying on the children, but actually quite the opposite. It is established that we were preying on the adult thief.

    In the law, in regards to criminal confinement and children present, it says that it may be hard to determine the offenders true motivations. However not in my case. IDK this is just craziness to me.
