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 referral service, nor can we provide legal advice on sex crime defense or appealing convictions, 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 that 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."

ARM #OpFairGame, August 25, 2017 to Sept. 4, 2017 The Anti-Registry Movement is planning to host a registry truth booth at the Oregon State Fair in Salem to gather signatures in support of a ballot initiative to remove the registry from public view and as a general education platform. Deadline for signing up for this event is in late March/ early April. In order for ARM to be able to host this event, we need to raise the booth fee of $1200 (which covers insurance and a 10' x 10' foot booth) plug material costs and enough volunteers to help man the booth for the 11 day event. This is a golden opportunity to educate and gather public support in a state that already publicly lists only a small percentage of the registry online. If you wish to donate or you want to help man the booth, call me at 513-238-2873 or email iamthefallen1@yahoo.com The Once Fallen Informational CorrLinks Newsletter (The ICoN) The ICoN is a text-only quarterly newsletter for CorrLinks users (CorrLinks is an email system for inmates in federal correctional institutions and in some states). If you have an incarcerated loved one with access to CorrLinks, let him know about the ICoN, free to CorrLinks users. Just have him/her send a request to iamthefallen1@yahoo.com and request the ICoN. I can also send you a copy to forward to your incarcerated loved one; simply send me an email with the headine ICoN. Read more on the Once Fallen ICoN page. .

| INTERVIEW WITH WIFE OF MURDERED REGISTRANT 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, Leslie. This interview was intended to be part of a documentary but now I'm turning it into a book. |

| ARM joins Int'l Megan's Law Protest in Oakland CA 7/27/16 NEW!!! Tom Madison & Derek Logue review the protest against "International Megan's Law" held in Oakland CA on July 27, 2016. This event was hosted by Alliance for Constitutional Sex Offense Laws (ACSOL, formerly known as "California RSOL," noting the name change was made the weekend after the event). There was also a hearing regarding the passport identifiers in federal court that day, so many of the protesters joined Janice Bellucci in court for the hearing. This video was recorded live along the bay in San Francisco, so we had a couple of minor interruptions and some wind. But, this was a rare change to be filmed together, since we live 2500 miles apart. Derek traveled from Ohio 3000 miles by bus, and Tom drove for over 12 hours from North Oregon to attend this event, and there were others who traveled from other states. There were at least a couple dozen of us, and things got so busy the morning of 7/27 that we didn't get as much personal footage as we like. |

| ONCE FALLEN/ ANTI-REGISTRY MOVEMENT RALLY IN TALLY April 2015 Taking on Lauren Book and her victim industry group was a monumental challenge deep into hostile territory. But we went and did what many feared could not be done, and in the end, the Books ran from us like cowards. This rally is featured in the upcoming documentary 'Untouchable" at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival. |

| ARM at the Miami-Dade Homeless Registrant Camp As a follow-up to last year's "Rally in Tally," the Anti-Registry Movement visited the Miami-Dade homeless registrant camp in Hialeah. The camp has no running water or toilet facilities. In fact, after talking with the residents at the camp, toilets and TP would be the most desired items. Some residents have tents and cars but some do not. Camping gear, water, food, and clothing would also be appreciated. Unlike the days when Miami's homeless registrants were forced to live under the Julia Tuttle Causeway, the media and local charities don't visit this camp. Out of sight, out of mind is the mantra. This place is truly "Lauren's Kingdom." |

| ONCE FALLEN ON DR. DREW Sept. 7, 2016 Th Dr. Drew Show had a decent five-year run, but Drew and CNN are going their separate ways. I got one last appearance in during the show. The subject was the release of a high-profile registrant's release from prison. For this final show appearance, I wanted folks to see the full segment, not just the part I was in, in order to take in all that was said. This segment went better than expected and only on a couple of points would I have wanted to interject some reasonable thought. Overall, I felt this was a decent segment, and I didn't have to tell anyone to stick it. (LOL) |
| SO CLEAR TALKS! w/ Tom Madison & Derek Logue Tom Madison and I have been long-time activists, each with over a decade of front-line activism experience. Tom & I started working together in 2008, when Tom created SO Slear Media Group. We are looking to bring back the group, and as part of that plan, we are sharing our personal thoughts on activism and on the sex offender topic as a whole. I'm more of a narrowly focused guy (like a laser beam) while Tom discusses things from the big picture (like a floodlight). We have some pretty deep discussions which we feel may help some of you broaden your knowledge on this topic. We invite you to listen to these discussions and share your thoughts in the comments section. |
