Let’s call this week’s update “musical sex
offenders”. Like the children’s game where you circle chairs, removing
one each time and when the music stops, one child is left without a
chair to sit in and eliminated. In musical sex offenders, the chairs are
opportunities, the music is the legislature and registered citizens are
the ones walking in circles waiting for the music to stop and one more
opportunity to be taken away.
That has been the case with sex offender
legislation since inception. Residency restrictions remain in effect as
the number of available places to live, like the chairs, are eliminated
one-by-one. The music starts again and when it stops, restriction on
internet use comes up and job opportunities disappear. In “musical sex
offenders” registered citizens are circling a consistently dwindling
pool of opportunities, in constant fear that when the music stops an axe
is going to fall and the only question is what will be taken away next.
Recently, the North Carolina Supreme Court
upheld a ban on social media. To anyone who’s had a job since 1997,
they are not exactly mailing letters or sending faxes anymore… Also, in a
Texas city, they passed a law laws week requiring registrants post a
sign in their yard that says, “Sex Offender Lives Here”. Regardless of
the facts that none of these measures have any effectiveness and only
serve to further punish the registrant (and whoever lives with him), but
these are just more chairs that get pulled away when the music stops
and for those of us who don’t live in North Carolina or Gonzalez, Texas,
we’re walking in circles waiting for the music to stop. Only, in
Florida, where registration is lifetime, the game is never over.
For those reading this, we’re preaching to
the choir. By virtue of you receiving this email, you’re fully aware of
what’s going on, you are aware that these measures do nothing to
enhance public safety and only serve to further punish registered
citizens irrespective of the severity of their offense. If you are
getting this email, you are already aware of FAC, who we are and what we
are doing to fight for reform.
What we ask of you today is to send this
email to 10 friends or family members. People who know you, care about
you, know you are not a monster and would be willing to help you. Invite
them to join FAC, because by becoming a member, not only will the $5 a
month go a long way in helping to fund our litigation, legislative and
outreach efforts, but they will be educated on the facts surrounding our
cause and kept informed of the latest developments and new laws that
effect the rights of all citizens. They, in turn, will educate others
and it’s only by getting our message out there that we will help
influence public perception of registered citizens and end the game.

Florida Action Committee

Polygraph Testing and Sex Offenders
Wednesday, November 25, 2015
We recently had a blog
post on the polygraph by David Prescott which readers may want to look at
in relationship to this new one.
Polygraph
testing of sex offenders has come in for a good deal of recent criticism. While polygraphy in general, and
post-conviction sex offender testing (PCSOT) in particular, is not without its
problems, many of the negative comments are based on misunderstandings,
misconceptions, and sometimes just plain mischievousness. Other criticisms, however, are based on
genuine concerns, a number of which are eloquently described in a recent blog
by David Prescott (2015). But what is often
unclear is the extent to which these objections are fundamental to polygraph
testing and PCSOT, or whether they relate to poor or outright bad practice in
delivery.

Lawsuit: California breaks the law on sex offender website
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California is breaking the law by failing to
include updates about sex offenders on its Megan's Law website, leading
some offenders to be targeted by vigilantes, according to a lawsuit
filed Tuesday.

Florida Crime and Enforcement
Last Updated July 15, 2015: Florida has three classes of crimes split into different degrees of severity: felonies, misdemeanors and common law crimes.
Felonies, punishable by more than a year in prison, are split into 4 degrees:
A third class of crimes, common law crimes, including violations like contempt of court that are not specifically classified as felonies or misdemeanors in statute.
Felony sentences are determined by a combination of judicial discretion and a points system. The points system provides guidelines based on the type of crime committed and the circumstances surrounding the crime.
This process results in mandatory minimum sentences for many crimes. While judges can sometimes depart from these minimums, it is generally easier to order harsher punishments than more lenient ones, according to The Florida Bar Association.
The primary state agency that executes these laws is the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. FDLE is responsible for coordinating multijurisdictional investigations, conducting its own independent investigations, processing and analyzing forensic evidence and training and monitoring other law enforcement agencies.
For juvenile offenders, criminal cases are usually handled by the Department of Juvenile Justice, led by a governor appointed secretary. DJJ operates 21 detention centers and is responsible for a wide range of programs designed to redirect and rehabilitate delinquent youth.
Florida, however, allows prosecutors to decide whether to try most juveniles as adults, and the state now leads the nation in such cases, according to Human Rights Watch.
The country generally and Florida specifically has seen a steep drop in the past decade. FDLE estimates that from 1993 to 2013 both the rate and total number of crimes committed dropped by 55.8 and 37.4 percent, a decrease that was even more dramatic for violent crimes. Juvenile delinquency has also declined significantly and is at its lowest rate in 30 years.
This drop in crime coincided with a massive increase in incarceration caused by laws like Gov. Charlie Crist's "Truth In Sentencing" proposal, which mandates all offenders complete at least 85 percent of their sentence before they are eligible for release.
According to the Brennan Center for Justice, however, rising incarceration accounted for 0 to 10 percent of the drop in crime, with factors like increased police presence, data driven enforcement techniques and social movements driving most of the change.
Many reform proposals have focused on reducing incarceration rates by expanding special court programs and introducing new sentencing guidelines.
In 2015, the Legislature passed SB 378, which gives police more authority to issue warnings to juveniles and encourages them to use civil citations instead of arrest and incarceration. Lawmakers also moved toward creating a regulatory system for police body cameras. That included passing several public record exemptions for body camera obtained recordings despite the misgivings of advocates like the ACLU, who said the exemptions undermined the accountability cameras were supposed to bring to police.
Felonies, punishable by more than a year in prison, are split into 4 degrees:
- First degree felonies punishable by up to five years or $5,000 in fines
- Second degree felonies punishable by up to 15 years and $10,000 in fines.
- Life felonies punishable by 40 years to life
- Capital felonies punishable by either life imprisonment or death. Capital punishments include only murder, sexual battery and capital drug trafficking.
A third class of crimes, common law crimes, including violations like contempt of court that are not specifically classified as felonies or misdemeanors in statute.
Felony sentences are determined by a combination of judicial discretion and a points system. The points system provides guidelines based on the type of crime committed and the circumstances surrounding the crime.

High Court to Hear Appeal Over Sex Offender Registration
The Supreme Court will decide whether convicted sex offenders must update their status on the federal sex offender registry after moving to a foreign country.
The justices agreed Friday to resolve a split among lower courts that reached different outcomes in the cases of two men — one who lived in Kansas City, Kansas, and another who lived in Kansas City, Missouri.
The court will hear an appeal from Lester Nichols, a Kansas man who moved to the Philippines after his release from prison in 2012 without updating his registration. A federal appeals court in Denver upheld his conviction for violating the law.
But a federal appeals court in St. Louis said a convicted sex offender from Missouri did not have to register after he also moved to the Philippines.

Eighth Grader in Florida Disciplined For Giving Hug To Friend At School
Ella
Fishbough, 14, is now an eighth grader
with a record. Ella was given suspension
by Jackson Heights principal Sarah Mansur-Blythe
(left) for a hug. That's right. She
hugged a friend who was having a bad day
and was immediately reported for
discipline under a hopelessly undefined
prohibition on “inappropriate or obscene acts." As
with the other story today of the student
suspended for playing Power Rangers, this is a
case of blind application of rules without any
sense of judgment or fairness. It is part of the
zero tolerance culture that has taken
hold in our schools.Wednesday, November 4, 2015

NEWS RELEASE: United States Sentencing Commission introduced a proposed amendment, "Crime of Violence"
On
August 7, 2015, the United States Sentencing Commission introduced a proposed
amendment, "crime of violence" to include non-contact CP offenders.
The Commission is currently reviewing criminal research data and federal
sentencing statistics. The proposed amendment would then be promulgated to
amend Section 4B1.2(a)(2) of the sentencing guidelines, which would be
submitted to Congress NO later than May 1, 2016.
WE
MUST STOP THIS!!!
This
would have the most detrimental effects on CP offenders, including exclusion
from programming credits earned in prison, stiffer Supervised Release
conditions and placement as a Tier 3 Violent Offender on the Registry. This
proposal would be retroactive if it becomes law, regardless if you are
incarcerated or on release.
The
Sentencing Commission is accepting public comment on this issue until November
12, 2015. Our friends at Caution Click have launched a letter writing campaign
to challenge this proposed amendment. WE ALL need to get involved on this and
send in those letters. You can write your own, or use the formatted letter
included from Caution Click, but send them snail mail as well as email to the
address provided. As an insider, I have set a goal for us to get in a minimum
of 100,000 letters. I won't back down and neither should you.

Columbus Circle, NE, Suite 2-500
Washington,
DC 20002-8002
Attention
Public Affairs
RE:
Proposed Amendment to Section 4B1.2, Sentencing Guidelines
Dear
Commission Members,
This
letter is in response to the Commission's request for public comment. It is my
personal belief that possession of child pornography should be excluded from
the definition of a "forcible sex offense". Non-production
possession, receipt, transportation or distribution of child pornography does
not meet the criteria of being a sexual act or of having sexual contact.
Therefore, it should be excluded as a violent Sexual Offense.
Using
the classification of violent offender is placing the otherwise non-violent
offender under the same label as someone who has had actual, physical contact
with a child. This distorts the truth and is very misleading.
We
are all very passionate about protecting our children, however, we have taken
this passion to an unforgivable level of applying a definition to an offender
that does not relate to the actual crime he/she committed, and using this term
to perpetuate a life time punishment. Therefore, I would like this letter to be
entered as public comment to item 4(D) in the "Issues for Comment"
section of the United States Sentencing Commission proposal to Section
4B1.2(a)(2) of the Sentencing Guidelines. Thank you.
Sincerely

RSOL: Crisis in Rhode Island May Spread to Your State
The focus
of this month’s Review will be the recently enacted residency
restrictions in Rhode Island. These retroactive restrictions will likely
result in homelessness if the courts do not intervene. RSOL issued a press release calling
for repeal of the law. RSOL condemned the law as misguided, noting that
many states have followed research and enacted no such restrictions
against those on the registry, while some other jurisdictions that
previously enacted them have repealed them, are reconsidering them, or
have had their retroactive application struck down by the courts. We
also emphasized that RSOL will partner with civil rights attorneys in
Rhode Island who seek to block enforcement of this unjust law.
Subsequent to RSOL’s statement, the ACLU of Rhode Island issued its own
statement regarding the law and announced its intention to initiate a
legal challenge. RSOL’s legal team plans to work closely with the ACLU
on the lawsuit.
Come
hear Brenda Jones, RSOL’s executive director, and Mary Sue Molnar from
Texas Voices explain how they have stopped similar legislation in their
states and the importance of having advocates in every state focused on
the legislative process when lawmakers are in session.
Agenda:
· Review of Rhode Island statute;
· Panel discussion with Brenda and Mary Sue;
· Q and A for the panel;
· General comments or questions.
The phone number is 641 715-3660 followed by access code 957605#. We ask that you sign up if you plan to attend so that we have some idea how many participants to expect.

Petitioning U.S. House of Representatives and 2 others: Reform and Enact Sensible US Sex Offender Laws
Petitioning U.S. House of Representatives and 2 others
...If we want to protect America's children, we must give them resources,
knowledge, and help when they need it- on every topic, including sex.
Sexual values are for the family to give, but sexual health is something
every individual should have. If we want to stop potential abusers,
before they abuse, we must have programs in place to get them the help
that they need. The sex offender registry should be based on risk to
children and the public, not classifying every single person who does X
the same threat as the person who does X, Y, and Z multiple times. Major
organizations dedicated to researching these issues have made these recommendations to policy makers, but no one has addressed them....

The project is in the forming stage and is in need of volunteers to help research, compile, and fact-check the listing.
What will I do as a research volunteer?
- Review and fact-check the current listing
- Pick an area to research or fact-check, i.e., state, territory, city
- Research using on/offline references
- Add your research findings to the listing using Google Sheets (similar to MS Excel)
- Add comments on existing data based on your fact-checking
Act today and be a part of a project that matters to us all!
If you're interesting in volunteering, then please let us know by filling out the form below and Philip or Robin will contact you with additional details on how to get started.

A message from Sex Offender One Stop Resource:
How You Can Help
We thank you for visiting Alaska Sex Offenders One Stop Resource website.
If you wish to help us with the content of our website, and even advertise with us, please feel free to submit a resource to us by visiting our submission form.
Also, If you would like to donate, and help…. we plan to start sending a postcard to sex offenders being released from prison 2 months prior to their releases, of our website and all the resources available to them. The cost for postage, and processing, … is a great hindrance. Please donate to our cause. We will have a report on our main site when we begin taking donations, of where those funds are going.
What happens then, is that we would verify the listing and provided information, and once that is done, we will post it on our website at http://sexoffenderonestopresource.com.
