Things have been nice and quiet lately. My husband finished his required sex offender treatment program. As of now the reclassification has been stayed, although we aren't sure for how long.
We are hoping his PO will put in the request for early release from probation soon so we can finally travel and see family. I cannot wait until we are free....well, more free!

Re-classification of sex offender's
We just found out due to the Adam Walsh Act my husband has been re-classified as a tier 2 offender and must register for 25 years. While other states have implemented these new classifications already, our state has been fighting lawsuits which delayed it until now.
Despite the fact that he was deemed low risk to re-offend by a psychosocial assessment conducted by a court appointed psychologist. This act classifies the offender based on the crime itself and not the circumstances or any evaluations.
I wish people understood that the majority of registered offenders do not re-offend. Also, majority of children who are victims of sexual abuse have been abused by family and friends, not some stranger.
It frustrates me that there is not a public registry for other crimes. Why don't people who are arrested for driving while intoxicated (a common crime in my state, which threatens the lives of many people) have to put a bumper sticker on their car, providing "community notification" to other drivers so they can then choose to "stay away". Why not make a public registry for those convicted of domestic violence or those with restraining orders against them?
I am just venting now, but I am anxious to see what our lives will be like once he is on the public registry.

Looking forward to the future
My husband has been in a sex offender rehabilitation program since Jan 2014. He only has about a month and a half left to complete it. This program was a three phase program which consisted of weekly group therapy meetings, a polygraph and an Abel assessment.

It's days like these
It's days like these that make me frustrated at my husband for making the choices he did. The weather is perfect. I'd love to go camping or hiking or take the dog to the park, but we can't...because my husband is a registered sex offender.

Legal process...when acting out turns illegal
If you have read my previous posts you know that my initial discovery included finding out that my husband (boyfriend at that time) had his computers seized for suspicion of illegal images. I wanted to follow up on the process/outcome of that for others who may be going through the same thing and don't know what the process is.
