My Story

A New Start

June 14, 2010

With my mandatory 8 weeks of “anger management” counseling complete all I had to do to get most of this behind me was complete my probation, which was still a long way out.  Probation wasn’t too bad.  I had to meet with my probation officer once a month and pay my monthly fee of $170.  [...]

Three more counseling members

June 6, 2010

When I last left my story, I talked about how I was continuing my required anger management counseling. That article highlighted three sex offenders whose crimes really fell into the gray area.  I mentioned that the others however weren’t so gray.  I’d like you to meet Grandpa, Raymond, and Felix.
Grandpa – A grandfather who [...]

Counseling continues

March 15, 2010

As I attended each weekly counseling session, I grew less and less angry about being there.  To be honest, it was a little strange, at some level I enjoyed attending.  I enjoyed talking with some of the offenders and to my disbelief was learning a few things.  I wasn’t learning about how to manage my [...]

Sex Offender Counseling – aka Anger Management counseling

February 11, 2010

In August of 2008, I attended by first “anger management” counseling session as part of plea bargain terms.  As I had mentioned in a previous article, this was the DAs way of tricking me into attending a few weeks of sex offender counseling.
I arrived a few minutes early at the counseling center.  A few guys [...]

Counseling Assessment

February 8, 2010

A few days after the initial meeting with my probation officer, I arrived at a small brick building in downtown for my counseling assessment.  Frankly, I had no idea what to expect.  I wasn’t sure if I was going to get a real child sex offender assessment or whether it was just going to be [...]

First meeting with my probation officer

January 22, 2010

I sat waiting in the probation area for about 15 minutes and finally heard a door open right in front of me.  Looking up I saw a middle aged lady standing there asking me to come on back.  She looked friendly enough.  We walked through a short hallway and into a small office where I [...]

Accepting the plea in court

December 23, 2009

The court day had been looming for days.  My attorney and the DA managed to get time with the judge during a private court session so nobody else would be in the room, not even the press.  I hadn’t slept much the night before stressing over the day ahead.  We arrived early as requested by [...]

Taking the plea

December 21, 2009

After days of agonizing, in late July of 2008, I signed a plea agreement drafted by my attorney and the DA.  I received a 60 day suspended sentence with supervised probation for 18 months.  18 months was the minimum amount for the state I live in.  In addition to the standard probationary terms, the following [...]

The plea bargain

October 5, 2009

Between September of 2007, when DSS finally allowed me to come home and July of 2008, nothing happened with my legal case.  Two very high profile murder cases came up and completely dominated the DA and and assistant DAs time.  Unless I was willing to plead guilty to my full charges, they didn’t even want [...]

Finally allowed to come home

October 4, 2009

A few weeks after our face-to-face meeting with DSS in September of 2007, we received a call from our DSS worker.  She has something to tell us, but wanted to tell us in person.  She asked for both of us to be there.  After all that we had been through, we expected the worst.  What [...]
