Since December 2007, Once Fallen has been online to offer resources and information to those seeking to reform or abolish the myriad of excessive sex offender laws, from the public registry to residency restrictions and beyond. Once Fallen answers hundreds of phone calls and letters, visits with legislators, assists registrants in connecting to available resources and support networks, and provides analysis research on sex offender laws free of charge. If you wish to keep this valuable resource going, then please send a donation to Once Fallen today.

MISSION STATEMENT, DISCLAIMERS, AND CONTENT USE POLICIES The purpose of Once is providing an honest education on the truth about sex offender laws and issues, and offering some support services and guidance to those seeking to reform America's sex offender laws. Once Fallen is not a legal service, nor can we provide legal advice on sex crime defense, and any advice given is a solitary opinion based upon the personal experiences and conclusions made by the owner of this site. The purpose of Once Fallen is not seek any influence over "age of consent" laws or, as some erroneously put it, "normalize pedophilia" or sexual abuse (and thus is not affiliated in any way with alleged "pro-pedophile" groups like NAMBLA), nor is Once Fallen even part of the debate. Instead, Once Fallen provides the best available information on the case against post-conviction sex offender "remedies" such as public shaming lists, residency restrictions. Once Fallen promotes an "evidence-based approach" to combating recidivism through a combination of fact-based public education programs that do not rely on fear and myths about sex offenders, coupled with programs that stress healthy rehabilitation techniques and reintegration programs balancing public safety with the individual needs to those who are labeled "sex offenders."

In 2012, a career criminal named Patrick Drum killed two people listed on the registry and was called a "hero" by many. "Beyond the Label" seeks to seek the untold story behind these gruesome murders, showing the victims of this case as more than just a label. This is from a Sept. 2012 interview with the widow of Gary Blanton. |

| NEW! 2013 Shiitake Awards show! http://youtu.be/NzStt0l2PJg A few people stated the Shiitake Awards was growing too large... unfortunately, so has the host of the show. So this year, we've slimmed down the annual Shiitake Awards (the host? Well, not so much). The Shiitake Awards spotlights the dumbest sex offender-related stories and quotes, as well as the worst of those who exploit sex offenders. Each year, people vote for the worst sex offender stories or people of the year, and we "award" them here. |

| ONCE FALLEN TAKES ON DR. DREW'S BEHAVIOR BUREAU O April 7, 2014, I was invited on an on-air panel discussion regarding whether so-called "sexually violent predators" can be rehabilitated. This was my third HLN appearance in a year's time, and of all the interviews, and by far my best interview. For some reason the video was not posted online, so a fellow activist recorded it for me, so excuse the low quality. http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTAW0jMx_k M |
