I did not have an actual victim, but was part of a police sting operation. Many guys arrested that day. I was charged with solicitation of a minor by computer. Never in any trouble before, or since. I did probabation, group counselling and a volunteer support group. On the registry I am not able to see grand children do any functions. I contacted a lawyer I know. he just told me that according to the assistant DA, I fall under a federal law that says I have to be on the registry for 25 years. I am still hoping that something can be done. From what I have saw, NC has not even agreed to that federal law. Right now it is still in question what will happen.

It is indeed a wonderful day, and at the same time it is bittersweet. I am no longer required to register in the state of North Carolina and I’m still not free. I am under no restrictions and it’s wonderful to take my dog to the dog park, take a walk in the public park and best of all not look over my shoulder everyday waiting on someone to violate me for the least little technicality of the registry.

But my offense was committed in South Carolina and I’m on the SC registry for life. I no longer have to register but my information will never be taken down. I still show up on the 3rd party sites and the national registry. I have an aging mother in SC in poor health and must restrict my visits to no more than 30 days per year or risk arrest for not registering. I still can’t travel without checking the requirements of each state to make sure I don’t overstay my allowed time without registering. In the state of Virginia there are laws on the books that prohibit a person being in a public park that has EVER committed a sexual offense whether they are required to register or not.

My One Day will come when we all, each and everyone of us get our One Day. When we all each and everyone of us no matter where we live are free, then I will be too. That’s why I will continue to support the organizations that support registered citizens with my spirit as well as my money. Just because I’m in a better place now doesn’t mean my work is done.
