I downloaded child porn. I was sentenced to four years in a federal prison. Served 3 years supervised release. I am labeled as a sex offender for the REST OF MY LIFE. I have lost every job I had when my employer found out about my past.
My crime is labeled: 1 COUNT POSS. CHILD PORN TRANSMITTED BY COMPUTER
I don’t deny that what I did was distasteful and illegal. I didn’t buy, sell, produce, or was in ANY way involved in the production of child porn. I downloaded it from a newsgroup. Nothing more… nothing less. I know you are going to say “This was the first time you got caught, what else have you done?” (Lord knows I have heard that MANY TIMES from people who don’t know me…) well, the answer is NOTHING. I know you won’t believe it… so – play my assumption for a second. Let’s ASSUME this IS the first and only time I have done anything like this. Should I be ostracized from the rest of the world because of something stupid that happened over 10 years ago?
