Ricky's Life and the Sex Offender Registry

Ricky and his mother Mary will be joining us to speak about the unconstitutional sex offender registries and what they do to destroy families, ignoring the real victims and perpetrators of these crimes.

GOALS:

1. To enact legislation recognizing the differences between pathological sexual predation and non-coerced sexual activity between willing young people reasonably close in age. This legislation should be based on the clear recognition that lifelong registration in state and national sex offender registries is profoundly damaging and is inappropriate in some instances when age of consent laws have been violated though non-coerced sexual activity between willing young people of similar ages.

2. To educate families and teens about the profound, lifelong consequences for sexual activity between young people close in age but on opposite sides of the age of consent boundaries.

3. To give Ricky and others who face similar situations a fair chance in life.

Quote

In December 2005, my son age 16, went to a Iowa teen club for 16-20 year olds. There he met a girl while playing pool who told him she was almost sixteen. They began dancing and hanging together and realized they both were from same town outside the area.

They began dating. Months later she ran away from home and was advised by a friend of hers to call cops and say she was scared to go home cause she was pregnant. She did and the cops took her home as expected. Upon further questioning she admitted she lied about this "to piss her mom off."

A couple weeks later they spoke to my son who not knowing he was in any trouble told the truth, as he was raised to be honest, he himself wanting to go into law enforcement. He admitted he had sex with her twice back when they first met before he learned she was fourteen. He was told her parents did not want to press charges so he could go home, after the officer informed him and us she was only thirteen but had admitted she lied to him about her real age.

May 3, 2006, walking home, now seventeen, my son was arrested on two counts of sexual abuse, third degree felonies under Iowa Law. He was facing charges as an adult and a twenty year prison sentence.
