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.

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 June 2012, Patrick Drum, a man with a lengthy criminal background, shot and killed two men in Port Angeles, WA, and planned to kill two others had he not been killed by the police. Many people consider him a “hero” because his targets were “Registered Sex Offenders.” Drum believes this country was “founded on vigilantism” and his actions were justified. In this Special Two-Hour Episode of Activist Central, hear the shocking, exclusive interview with the killer himself, Patrick Drum. Also joining Activist Central is Derek Logue, founder of Once Fallen and the producer of an upcoming documentary on the Patrick Drum killings. Mr. Logue will take us behind the scenes of the upcoming documentary and discuss the details about the killings you won’t hear about in the media. Is Patrick Drum a hero, or is a monster in his own right? Tune in and decide for yourself. Click the link below to listen to (or download) the podcast: |

| 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 |
