It is true that Luke nor any other sex offender should continually be flogged publicly or privately… The justice system doesn’t keep tabs on convicted and released thieves, robbers, murderers nor on the predatory lawyers who take their clients money and does not provide a proper defense. Nor is there any punishment to prosecutors who deliberately withhold fact that could free or minimum the charges and sentencing of a defendant. How many people in our legal system from the judges to clerks commit the say offenses as the persons they are so determined to punish? Either they have been caught and a fellow law enforcer let’s off the hook or they have not been caught yet. Does punishment apply them? Who is policing the police and policing the justice system? When someone is sent to prison its not just that person, many people connected to them are also effected, many lives are destroyed, permanently altered. And by God’s grace if someone makes it out of prison must they have society further scrutinize their private lives? It’s crazy how it is a intentional effort to keep an offender down thwarting every opportunity creating recidivism just to keep the money racketeering flowing. Since we are a society of one effects all than every citizen should be flagged since each and every HUMAN is capable of the same actions depending on the circumstances. It’s crazy how natural human being behavior is so severely punished by another human that could possibly do the same thing or has already done it but just hasn’t gotten caught.

My crime happened in 1985 in a different state, I did my time and went through a treatment program. Once released in 1992, I was under no registry requirements. After being in Alabama for over 26 years and this state finding out, I was put under this dreadful law. I was devastated. I have no convictions in this state, none. I can only trust God to put the right officials in place to change this vengeful law. After serving my time, I got married and raised two of the most wonderful children. Now I am basically given a life sentence and have to re-register every 3 months to the sheriff’s office to a sex offender investigator, which basically equals a probation officer and pay $10.00 to re-register. I have lived as a free, tax paying citizen for over 26 years.

God is the only one who can make changes because it is wrong. At least a sane judge saw the insanity of this law and made some changes. I thank God for this.

Robin,
BTW, John Doe1 in the Alabama case is an acquaintance of mine from the 90s. He was part of Dr. Bob’s group in Janesville. He left this state because of SOR.

Robin V.

Yes the judge said it but that does not change reality, nor law. Second class argument has been rejected before, but we’ll see what 11rules but in the meantime the treatment will continue.

Hello. After reading this it makes me sick. I have never thought that any state would have such over burdensome restrictions on Sex Offenders whether or not it had anything to do with children. It seems to me that law makers and citizens who wanna push more and more unnecessary laws on Sex Offenders have no respect for the US Constitution and other laws that protect everyone with RIGHTS and fair laws. I do not know how any of these people can sleep at night doing this bs crap to Sex Offenders who have done their time and met basic requirements to have to follow unnecessary laws and requirements that would make their life very miserable. If I am not mistaken the US Supreme Court overturned North Carolina’s ban on Sex Offenders using the internet period. Said it violated the First Amendment. So this should apply to ALL States. Its a shame that any Law Maker would ever want this nonsense imposed on anyone they should know…like family, friends, and others. Punishment should never be lifetime nor extend outside jail/prison for an excess amount of time. How are Sex Offenders ever to have a normal life and get a job and place to live with all these restrictions and etc. Having that label Sex Offender on ones drivers license crosses the line. US Supreme Court needs to get rid of ALL Sex Offender Laws such as: Registry, Satellite Based Monitoring, and other restrictions. Its hard enough for them to get employment when a criminal background check is done. Our society is going to hell quickly.
