Press Release Summary: Californians convicted of sex crimes, ignoring the advice of
reputable sex crimes attorneys, take to the streets to avoid legal hassles.

Press Release Body: Douglas Slain, an experienced California sex crimes attorney,
has noticed an emerging trend. It seems that many persons convicted of sex crimes in
California are trying to worm their way around the system on their own, rather than
seeking counsel from a qualified California sex crimes attorney.
The issue at hand is known as Jessica’s Law, a 2006 measure with overwhelming
support among California voters. The law prohibits registered sex offenders from
living within 2,000 feet of schools, parks, or other places where children gather.
In congested urban cities, where hundreds of thousands of people must find a way to
share increasingly limited amounts of space, it is often very difficult for those
registered sex offenders to find a legal living location. The stopgap solution
adopted by many registered California sex offenders has been to declare themselves
“homeless,” moving from hotel to hotel or simply lying about their residence, rather
than adopting a permanent address. Or, in the worst-case scenario, offenders simply
vanish from the registry, rather than continuing to live with the stigma of a
California sex crimes conviction.
Critics of the measure point to a nearly thirty percent increase in the number of
convicted sex offenders who disappeared in the first year under the new legal
restrictions. Obviously, the situation is highly politicized, with many legislators
afraid to tackle repealing or changing such a highly popular, if ineffective, piece
of California sex crimes legislation.
For advice in dealing with the aftereffects of a sex crimes conviction, or to ensure
that a conviction doesn’t happen, contact a sex crimes attorney with experience in
the state of California. The law is complex at best, and often downright murky.
Navigating through allegations of a sex crime, or staying legal after a conviction,
is something no one can do alone, or should have to.
