If it was a mix up I'm sure he wouldn't have let this thread go on so long without jumping in. And your example wouldn't count for his charges.dems4me said:I was hoping it was a mixup or something -- like maybe he was 16 and his girlfriend was 15 at the time and her parents filed charges or something...maybe not. I guess some stories just don't have two sides to them.
Vria -- did you ban him :shrug:
No - there's no reason to ban him. Like you yourself said, it could be a statutory thing or whatever.dems4me said:Vria -- did you ban him :shrug:

Not that I want to take up for HF or anything, but you all should reread some of your posts. You sound like a bunch of hysterical witch burners. And how I can be so sure he won't be back is because...would you, after all this?
HollywoodFred said:Obviously, it's come to light that I am listed in the Sex Offender Database. This is true.
During the period 1994 to 1998, I had many unfortunate things happen to me in my life. The most significant was the loss of my 13th month old son to liver cancer, after an unsuccessful transplant. I did not deal with the anger and grief caused by that, and things festered within my mind, and that's what triggered my offenses. They were not sexually driven, but instead were driven by anger.
Once I was arrested, I was led to my therapist, who is considered to be the best in the Baltimore area by both the court and probation systems. I started seeing him at once, not because it would help the court case, but because it was the right thing to do. Nor did I lie, or try to deny the things I did; I admitted I did them, I admitted that I knew they were wrong, but I also did not know where to turn for help.
I not only destroyed my own life, but the lives of those around me. To this day I regret that, and I always will.
Fortunately for me, everyone I encountered in the judicial system knew what they were doing, from the agent that conducted my pre-sentence investigation, to the judge that sentenced me.
It's a common misperception that sex offenders cannot recover: that's true in 1% of the cases... for the rest, it varies, and is proportional to the severity of the crimes committed.
For two and a half years I saw the therapist at my own expense, interrupted only by my periods of incarceration. I did this not because I was required to, but again, it was the right thing to do. I even went to a couple of extra sessions past when he wanted to release me, because I wanted to be absolutely sure that nothing of this nature ever happens again.
Everyone else involved received treatment as well. And although I know that is a scar that will never heal completely, at least they have the tools to deal with it.
I did my incarceration. I did my probation. I have a goal today, and that goal is to be removed from the list when they review me in 2009. All I want today is to have a somewhat normal life.
I am a better person today than I was when the offenses occured. Gone is the predjudice I used to have, because today I know what it's like to be judged unfairly. I try to help people whenever I can. I try to be the best person I can be and live my life following Christian principles. Because I was thorough in my therapy, I am no longer a danger to society... and if I ever feel like things like that will happen again, I will be taking steps to correct the problem before it becomes an issue. Were I to be convicted again, I'd be facing 25 years or more incarceration, and I have no desire to do that.
There's the truth. I don't expect anyone to understand. It's what I've done, not what I am. I will be leaving here now...I don't expect the forums will be too much fun for me anymore.
I will just go about my business, and continue to do the right thing.
