Registered sex offenders and online forums?

I recently became aware that the moderator of an online forum is a registered sex offender (male). The forum is frequented by mostly 30-something women and attracts a younger female audience as well. Am I "allowed" to call attention to the fact that he is a registered sex offender, or is he protected by some sort of right to privacy online?

Registered sex offenders and online forums?
Do you know what he is registered for? Many "sex offenders" are registered do the the vagueness of the laws. There are plenty of people who are registered as sex offenders because of the strict interetation of the law.





Such as someone who was 19 and slept with a 17 year old. Legally, that is statutory rape and requires the 19 year old to register as a sex offender...which is a brand they'll carry for life.





There have been others who are registered "sex offenders" because they went to the bathroom in public and a passerby happened to see their junk hanging out.





Just because someone is labeled as a sex offender doesn't mean they truly are. Before you go airing someone's dirty laundry, make sure it's truly dirty first.
Reply:I know of an offender website where they go to help keep each other accountable... it is like AA and they help each other survive after serving their time. It is so important that they have someone to talk to so they can survive out there. They have no ability to get a job, drive, live in a community, and many many other things we take for granted and this is not just temporary, it is for the rest of their lives. Some are arrested at 19 and even if they made a huge mistake, they will never, and I mean never be able to have a life. And yes, if you take time to look on this forum you will see men that range from having a girlfriend that was 16 and he was 19.... he will register forever. They need support or they will commit suicide or worse use drugs and forget why they are fighting to get well.... then we are in a very scary place. Let them help each other get well, I have read through this one and I see nothing but healthy support on getting better and coping with the repulse they see in others eyes forever. Here is the link......
Reply:This information is given to the public so that they have the option to be aware of it. As long as you don't do it meanly and just point out the fact that other females should be cautious. Why would the government make it so available if it was illegal to do anything about it is my logic.
Reply:In this situation, the only privacy that anyone has is protection from defamation (libel and slander). Truth is always a defense to libel and slander. So if you know it to be true, you are protected against his suing you for libel and slander.
Reply:If you know it for a fact, and have researched to confirm it, report it. If you are not positive, report your suspicion.
Reply:You can do whatever you want but I think sex registry are stupid, if these people are dangerous why are they not in prison?
