She is a plaintiff in a class-action federal lawsuit brought on by a group of one-time, nonviolent sex offenders concerned about being lumped together with serial rapists and child molesters when it comes to such restrictions. Alleging the law casts its net too broadly because it fails to provide exceptions for the elderly and infirm or for those whose infractions involve consensual acts, the suit accuses state and local officials of unjustly driving the plaintiffs out of Georgia by making it impossible for them to find anywhere to live legally.

, state law precludes apartment managers and rental housing owners from using the on-line database to deny sex offenders tenancy or to even warn other tenants of a neighbor's presence on the Megan's Law list.

Answer 1

I agree with Theresa, you should state your crime, as long as you talk in broad prospectives then we will assume the worse. If you say consensual sex, and were convicted of a sex crime then I assume you are considering a minor as having consented to sex, which they can not do, any consensual sex with an adult would not be prosecuted. As a mother of a soon to be teenage daughter then you're dam right I want to know if your sick *** is moving in next door. It would be different if you were 18 and she was 17 but since you say you have children plural, I also have to assume that you are much older then the age of consent. So, bottom line, don't want to be scrutinized, don't ask questions that need more details. So, what was your crime.
PS sex with a minor whether consent was given or not is a violent sexual offense because you, as an adult took away the child's innocence, and any form of rape is a violent offense, so when you say a "non violent sex offender" that is an oxymoron, you moron.

Answer 2

In my location, if a sex offender moves into an area, by law, the offender must be reported as being in the community. A "one time" sexual offender may be just that, however, dependent upon exactly what the offence involved, it could require the notification to the general public, particularly where it is a known area to have a high ratio of children.

Regardless of the actual offence, sexual crimes against children are not compartmentalized into categories when it involves an offender being released into any community where parents have children to be concerned about. A sexual offender is a sexual offender period. Although the law may differentiate, the public does not and if a predator moves into their neighbourhood, the reaction is the same whether a one time offender or not.

Even in the case of someone who sexually attacks/molests an older child...in the mind of the public, if it happened once it can happen again and this time it could be a younger child.

Granted, you may very well be a one time offender who has extreme remorse, but the community to which you attempt to integrate may not understand this and therefore, they don't usually have interest in being the first to take that chance.

Society paints with a broad brush in many instances and sometimes it means having to really work to prove oneself. Perhaps one solution is to move into an Adult only community. The restrictions still remain regarding anything that relates to coming into contact with children, but the integration is not as harsh and possibly even less judgemental. Also, if children are a rarity there, the need for the law to plaster your information everywhere is lessened.

If you are truly certain this is a crime for which you are definitely repentive, you will try to do your best to integrate wisely and live vigilantly always keeping in mind that everyone sees you as a possible repeat offender and you intend to prove them wrong.

Good luck!a

Answer 3

there is one some blocks from my college for 'different offense'. I even ought to say inspite of the actuality that, each sometimes i have self belief like those issues is taken a touch too heavily. Like inspite of in case you do not do something, say as an instance, you moon someone. convinced, even as it somewhat is a touch obscene, it would not damage everyone,and on the coolest of the day, that is only a butt. I have heard of people getting a sex criminal identify for doing that. there replaced into also some tale about some newborn who replaced into like 3 or 5 and replaced into charged with some sex offense! Like I suggested, wayyyy to heavily. I advise, those who easily rapes little ones and whatnot should be properly-known about and charged, yet society at present is so tender about each thing

Answer 4

I notice you keep asking questions, but you never state your crime. Are you afraid to admit something? Remember, the sites tell you what they were convicted of, and (unless their own child was their victim) anyone can live with their own children. So you know if they were 18 and she was 17, and people DO look, and do take that into account. The laws are in place to protect children, not sickos.

But, since many states make it illegal to rent to molesters, your point is moot
