Dear friends,

The “Adam Walsh” legislation passed into law today requires me to register as a “sex offender” for obscene images I looked at over a three-week period nearly fifteen years ago. I will register next week. It will have the following consequences in my life.

• I will lose my job, the third in the past eighteen months over the issue. I have seven months of tenure now in my current employment. They can overlook my conviction, but the requirement in the new legislation which will report my employer on the public SO website will necessitate this employer firing all employees on the registry. My previous employment ended over a CBS news crew showing up at my employer in the first case, and a customer who recognized me complaining to management in the second. My current employment is not particularly rewarding financially but has allowed me to voluntarily pay support for my son prior to the divorce decree being finalized.
  
  
• I am exiled from the City that I have lived most of my life in. The City of Indianapolis prohibits sex offenders from living or traveling within 1,000 feet of city parks and places where children congregate. The travel restriction is waived if the SO is accompanied by a non-registered adult. I have arranged for a friend to drive me to my weekly supervised visits with my son, and my best friend from childhood has agreed to accompany me to the conclusion of the state trial against me in August so that I may attend lawfully.

None of this is being done in the interest of protecting children. The Indiana Department of Child Services was willing to knowingly inflict severe harm on my son to prevent me from having a normal parental relationship with him while acknowledging that I had not abused or neglected him. The federal legislation will prevent me from ever having normalcy or stability in my life. As long as I reside in this country, I will be the target of vigilante violence and harassment. The lawful authorities with responsibility for prosecuting such crimes against me will refuse to do so. I was physically assaulted after both media interviews granted by the Indianapolis Police Department discussing their perception of my dangerousness to children. The Federal Bureau of Investigation did nothing in response to Rick Robert’s incitement to violence against politically active MAA’s. We exist outside the protection of the law, and the confines of civil society.

The boards have become too depressing for me. It is clear to me that we are soon to be hung by our neighbors and relations. It is not the worst fate that could befall men and women. It will take courage to face the coming violent purges directed against our kind, to preserve some institutional memory of who we were. I hope to find some peace in the time I have left and to finish some tasks important to me.

I am writing a Feminist manifesto on human nature and politics and supporting my thesis with my experience of being a pedophiliac. It will be scholarly, tedious, overly verbose, poorly structured, and abhorrent in all manner. It will be written in French and illustrated.

I was always sincere in my statement that I love my minor-attracted brothers and sisters. I am grateful to those who have maintained our public boards and hope that they are successful in continuing that effort. “It is always darkest before the light”.

My health has failed and routine aspects of life have become increasingly difficult in the past two months. I’ve lost the physical strength to fight any longer.

with love,
