The National Association for Rational Sexual Offense Laws (NARSOL) condemns both the letter and the Change.org petition recently circulated in the Atlanta area, which contain false information and doxxing content. These materials incite fear-based harassment and potential violence against law-abiding citizens, including venue staff and their families.
The letter and petition are filled with factual inaccuracies, misleading claims, and defamatory statements that misrepresent NARSOL’s mission, leadership, and activities. The allegations are demonstrably false, distort legal facts, and mischaracterize the purpose of NARSOL’s advocacy.
NARSOL is a national non-profit civil rights organization advocating for fair, evidence-based laws governing individuals required to register as sex offenders. Our work promotes rehabilitation, successful reentry, and prevention of sexual harm through education, research, and constitutional safeguards—never illicit activity. We do not advocate for sexual conduct between adults and minors nor condone child abuse. Public statements, litigation, and conference agendas confirm our commitment to due process and public safety.
The inflammatory “300-pedophile festival” description is wholly inaccurate. NARSOL conferences attract attorneys, researchers, advocates, family members, and individuals with lived experience — most of whom have no convictions involving minors — and are professional gatherings focused on legal reform and policy analysis.
The documents also misstate Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 42-1-15), which addresses residency, employment, and loitering restrictions for certain registrants. Attendance at lawful conferences, hotel stays, or educational events is not prohibited.
Personal attacks against NARSOL staff rely on unverified or false assertions, attempting guilt by association instead of fact-driven discourse. Targeting a hotel employee with no NARSOL affiliation is reckless and potentially harmful to that person, their coworkers, and their family.
Opposing overly broad or unconstitutional laws is not opposing public safety. Research consistently shows residency restrictions and public shaming fail to reduce reoffense rates and may undermine rehabilitation and community safety.
The authors of these documents claim to wish to prevent harm, yet strategically and methodically directly perpetrate harm instead. The hypocrisy of this action is alarmingly disturbing. Citizens should take care before believing or acting on what they read in an unsubstantiated online petition.

Their letter is so full of false, provocative information as to possibly be actionable. Fortunately, when I checked they only had 5 signatures.
Imagine that, they will attack innocent people with no records but condone the murder of people who have assaulted innocent people. Pot calling the kettle black much?
It would appear as though the whole Jeffery Epstein thing has exacerbated the hysteria, outrage and animosity. Him dying before being face justice has only left society all stirred up, frustrated and thirsty. Now all sights are trained on every one with a sex offense.
It’s disturbing how people’s minds work. Anyything “sex offense” related stays fresh and never fades into the background thus reverting to traibalism in an attempt to “get even.”
Funny how it’s always a white Christian that wants to seek revenge and do “God’s works” as their rationalization against those forced to register..
When planning the next conference, the organizers may need to take into consideration the safety of the participants and how they can be better protected from violence or harassment as a result of attending.
I recommend against public display of any participant’s identity, whether in pictures from the event, or videos, unless those are released in a way that only the participants themselves or NARSOL members can access.
Given the slanderous , hostile, and sometimes violent response to our movement (to regain our civil rights), I think some added caution in the future may be warranted.
No attendee is photographed or videoed without his or her explit permission. That has been our policy regarding this issue at every one of our confeences and will continue to be. Notice that in one picture, the shot shows only the backs of the attendees, no faces at all. In the group shot outside the hotel, those are only the attendees who wanted to be in the picture.
