The Brock Turner incident needs more careful consideration. Too much misinformation and propaganda has been touting itself as factual. If most persons read the ‘victims’s impact statement’ and come away believing this person is a genuine victim, I have little hope for humanity. There were many things that this alleged ‘victim’ did to put herself in the position of consensual participant. The ‘passed-out’ status may have occurred at the exact time the bicyclists introduced themselves. She may have ‘faked’ part of her ‘passed-out’ status as well. Just so she wouldn’t look so loose and easy and maybe could keep her present boyfriend, the one she was messing around on with Brock.
I read and see holes all through her statement. I see holes all in her story. I see professional victimhood at work.
Brock was no angel, but this alleged ‘victim’ is a real piece of work herself.

In reply to Fred. To Fred and Greg... I hope you two are right. Once I get a computer, I will be able to be more active. As of right now, I only have a phone and its quite finicky. One of the older cell phones.

In reply to Tara. I have been on the registry since 2002. Things are getting better now. There are court cases all over the country aimed at changing things. Ten years ago, people would barely speak out against it and now we have very outspoken voices. It is people like you and many others making your voices heard here and in other venues who are leading this charge. Because of that we will see change and I feel confident it is not that far off.

Certain things are pretty important to me. Before my conviction, I payed very little attention to this stuff. But, the more I learn, the more appalled I am. Will things ever change for us? Idk. But if so, it will be years I am sure. Some days I don’t even know why I try to stand up. While we are one, little causes us to unite. And it shouldn’t be that way, should it?

In my opinion, this is not a story that RSOL should be commenting on at all. This man got only a few months in jail for actual rape instead of the 15 years he should’ve gotten. Not statutory rape. Not drunken consent, but rape. After reading multiple stories about this case, the woman was completely unconscious at the time of the incident which is rape any way you look at it. RSOL is committed to restoring the rights of those affected by the registry AFTER they’ve served their legitimate sentence, which in this case, should’ve been much longer. This article makes it seem like RSOL is defending this guy when that actually hurts our cause. RSOL should be condemning this act in its entirety and the judge for giving such a ridiculously short sentence. If anything, the registry’s life long oppression in cases like this can give the defense an excuse to have the sentence shortened. Condemning the court’s actions in this case could give us the momentum we need, but I fear this post will just confirm the public’s opinion about the organization.

Ok Fred I’m back….While I try to understand all this registry I also try to pay little attention to it anymore. The court systems pull a Svengali number’s numbers on all those caught up in this sex registry thing and only time will tell if the readers of these comments will take more of a push.
Marilyn Monroe once said everyone has a bit of sexuality. In this situation I’m incline to agree with one of Billy Joel’s song ” We didn’t start the fire”.
I’m considered an habitual drunk in man’s terms… But it seems they are treating sex offenses as habitual first timers. It sort of makes me laugh at the nonsense that these men with knowledge and all their court jargon know about human nature.
A little bit of punishment is good but a lifelong punishment is not but the courts are not perfect and go by their “God law” I’m sure everybody on this board knows who the supreme authority is and believe me He is no respecter of person.

In reply to Facts & Lies. But that's the problem with this society now. Too much political correctness and jumping to conclusions with all the evidence. The registry is just like the Salem Witch hunts of the 1600's. Once you are accused of anything, you have to repent and even when you do, they burn you to the stake in the name of whatever they believe in. Sad that so many are on this list.

In reply to Emil S. Which country would you recommend for an SO to go to? I mean with the way things are now with so much PC BS playing a huge factor in all of this, not including the aforementioned future member of the registry, but where is a place one can escape the Scarlet Letter that is the registry?
