Is there any way to get off the s*x offender registry?

Question

I was 17 years old and had s*x with my gf who was 15 at the time. Long story short, eventually the wrong people found out and I was sent to prison for 3 year.

This was all 9 years ago. To this day I am STILL paying for acting like the stupid teen I was. Everywhere I go, I have to register as a s*x offender, I've lost count of how many times my car has been vandalized, I've had bricks thrown through my window, I have to LIE on job applications so I can at least flip burgers to pay the rent...people have called the police on me for walking past a school that was on my way to work (forcing me to have to walk 5 blocks AROUND the school)

One city I moved to, as soon as I registered, the sheriff went to the doors of everyone in the neighborhood and handed them a paper with my face on it along with other info and said "We're here to alert you of a registered s*x offender living in your area"

What gets to me the most is that people only see the charge, that I had s*x with a minor. They don't see when it happened, how old I was at the time, no brief explanation of the circumstances, nothing. All they see is I exploited a child...and I wasn't old enough to even smoke a cigarette or have a credit card!

I can't take this anymore! Why am I paying for something I did as a kid?!? Is there any way I can get off of this?!?

Answer 1

No, but you can always do what a tweaked little guy that supports bush does. he goes on YA and pretends to be a "woman", then when that fails to work you can do what he does and pretend to be chris hansen.

Answer 2

No, you cannot have your name removed from the registry.

Answer 3

I don't know the laws everywhere, but 17 and 15? I thought 17 was still a minor and there was supposed to be a 3-4 year difference between the 2 parties involved, assuming the s*x was consensual. Ask your past probation officer. If the system won't help you, then call an attorney with a reliable reputation.

Answer 4

i would get a lawyer and have something done. I mean all the girls in high school did it with a fellow teen at my high school.....i think that this is ridiculous.  my sister was pregnant at 16 from someone older than 18 and he didnt get in trouble even when my mom called up the police...they were like, "um mam thats too bad..."...  I fell sorry for you and wish you the best of luck.  seems like you had more done to you than a priest who molested a kid would have received.

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

Unfortunatley there is nothing that you can do. I understand where you are coming from I worked in the prison system and there are good reasonings to have to be registered and then there are silly reasons. But like you said you were 17 and she was 15. I wish you the best of luck the only thing that you can do it try and explain yourself to your neighbors. But make sure there are no kids there or it can be more of an issue for you!!

Contact a lawyer and see if there is anything that they can do for you there should have been a time frame where you had to register atleast in pa there is I am not sure where you are from. Good Luck on your venture!
