Reply #41: I live with one whose ex wife made him a sex offender [View All]

[Occulus]

He was asleep on his couch and the little shithead 12-year-old demonchild who had threatened to kill him and was angry his stepdad was considering sending him to a military academy of some sort crawled up on the couch with him. The guy's hand flopped over on the kid's crotch while he, the stepdad, was asleep (the kid actually testified to this part in a court hearing), and the ex-wife saw it. That was that; she called it sexual abuse, the prosecutor agreed, the judge didn't throw the case out, and he ended up pleading guilty to the charges... because they agreed to let him continue to see his daughter and "just get probation" for it.

Nobody told him about the newly-passed (at the time) sex offender registry. Now he's a sex offender, and he didn't actually do jack shit. In fact, he wasn't responsible for what he did plead guilty to, since even the "victim" testified he was actually sleeping at the time. Yes, the judge should have thrown the case out at this point. I don't know why she didn't.
