I have a friend that pleaded to charges more than 12 years ago. The charges included sexual offenses which he did not commit. And when it all happened 'back then' the exposure on the internet was not even happening. He has never had any legal problems since this one horrific problem (a family generated mess), never touched a child or forced his intensions on a woma. But each time he reads in the paper about another law going into effect, he becomes paranoid for his safety. He lives in California, which apparently has no statute that provides a limit as to how long he must register. And weekly there are more news articles which tell people how to look for the 'horrible invadors' in the neighborhood which 'threaten the safety of your children'. And to leave the state for another seems just as danting. I am helping him to find places in which to turn as he has become convinced that if he tries, he will be in violation of some restriction which exists. Please if there are any groups or legal avenues which can lend some information and or solutions, I would be very glad to hear from you.
