Someone probably answered this already, but just in case....Info from the website:citysherry said:Did anyone else notice that it does say "under investigation"??? I don't understand, if you are accused of child sexual abuse, you have to register? What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?????

I don't think Fred was asking for anyone here to excuse or forgive him. Seems like he just wanted everyone to know what he has done to try make himself a better person. I know a few people (one is a priest) who have sexually abused children and NOTHING has ever been done to them, nor have they shown remorse. It took balls for him to even post on this thread. Don't get me wrong - I'm not defending him, nor am I interested in having a relationship with someone whom I wouldn't let babysit my cats, and it's scary and freaky that this is someone we all "know." Just be thankful for the law that forces sex offenders to register.

But wait, there's more...
HollywoodFred said:Obviously, it's come to light that I am listed in the Sex Offender Database. This is true.
is it now?
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.
Someone else said this, but I'll say it too:It disgusts me deep down in my being that a person would use the loss of their child (sad as that is) as an excuse for preying upon an innocent child in a sexual manner. PERIOD! That's just sick ... the kind of "sick" that has no 'cure'. That's sicker than Andrea Yates killing her kids in name of religion.
I not only destroyed my own life, but the lives of those around me. To this day I regret that, and I always will.
As you probably should, because I'm sure that child will be thinking about it day in and day out for the rest of his/her life.
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.
Well, IMO, NO sex offender should EVER be removed from that list. It'll never leave the child's memory; why should you get special treatment and have your "rep" cleared publicly?
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.
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.
But ... you said
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.
So you ARE a part of the 99% then, because you yourself are saying "if". Reason #2 why you should never come off that list!
There's the truth. I don't expect anyone to understand.
good thing, cause I know I sure don't understand.

I am trying to reply to this very tactfully K-Jo, I know you meant well but, here is what you should be thankful for. You should be thankful that any child you know is not a victim of a sexual predator, who has to live with the pain and relationship issues for the rest of their lives.
Remorse or no remorse it makes no difference what so ever to the child.
If you notice the register cannot keep up with the offenders moving and this protects you how?
I do have several people very close to me - friends and family members - who have been victims of abuse, and I know it's been a lifelong struggle for them. I have shared their pain. These are the same people whose abusers have not had to do jail time or therapy and have gone on with their lives as if nothing has happened. So I was just saying that at least Fred recognized his mistake and TRIED to do something about it. Like I said, I'm not expecting anyone to forgive him. I just should have kept my mouth shut.PrepH4U said:
