Few sex offender registrants actuallly went to trial, instead they were forced into a plea deal under the threat of a long jail sentence. The plea deal itself prevents the alleged offender from appealing the sentence or having it reversed. Due process is manipulated in this manner.

Time is served, any restitution paid in full. All requirements met, counseling, probation/parole done with. Everything the courts sentenced to be taken care of are completed. Now, everything has been met but the sex offender registry is punishment for something you have already paid for. If a person is considered safe enough to be out on the streets, has not committed crimes since released either they are safe to be in the community if not they should be in prison still. The sex offender registry does nothing but punish the person who has served their time and completed what was put before them to complete. Leave them alone, quit punishing them for something they have paid the price for!!
