WELCOME TO WWW.ONCEFALLEN.COM!


    ABOUT ONCEFALLEN.COM

    Since December 2007, Once Fallen has been online to offer resources for Registered Citizens (i.e., those convicted of registerable sex
    offenses) and provide useful 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.
    This independent resource is not funded by any business so donations are always needed. If you wish to keep this valuable resource
    going, then please send a donation to Once Fallen today. My PayPal address is iamthefallen1@yahoo.com, or if you prefer sending a
    check/ money order, see my CONTACT ME page for my address. I thank all who support this important reference site.

    UPDATE: Once Fallen has recently moved. Visit the CONTACT ME page for the new physical address. With the move came new
    expenses, so consider a monetary donation to Once Fallen this holiday season!

    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 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."

"Beyond The Label"
SNEAK Preview

Sneak Preview of the upcoming independent
film  titled "Beyond The Label" by Once Fallen
Productions.

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.

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.

FACT GUIDES ON SEX
OFFENDER ISSUES
The time has come to vote for the 2014 Shiitake Awards!

The annual Shiitake Award Show was created in 2008. Patterned after the infamous
Golden Raspberry Awards ("Razzies"), the Shiitake Awards showcases the worst of
those politicians, journalist, and everyday people who use sex offenders to further their
careers or simply to gain their 15 minutes of fame. Nominations for the seven
categories occur throughout the year until December 31, and voting takes place during
the month of January. The winners (or losers, depending on how you look at it) will be
announced on an upcoming YouTube video after voting ends.
