ACTION ALERT! REGISTRY SCAMS
people claiming to be registration officers with warrants for their arrests but can be cleared up by wiring money. This is a scam. Cops won't call you if you have a warrant, and registry fees are paid at registration offices, not online. Call the police if you experience one of these scams.

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 FREE and INDEPENDENT resource site is NOT funded by ANY other organizations or grants, NOR DO I EVER, NOR WILL I EVER, CHARGE FOR MY SERVICES OR ASSISTANCE, so donations are ALWAYS needed and welcomed. In addition to this site, I also engage in demonstrations and other projects to assist registrants in need. None of this is possible without your support. I don't like to fundraise but inmate letters, website fees, travel expenses, equipment, and supplies aren't free. Even this website costs money for upkeep. Thus, your donations are greatly needed and 100% of proceeds fund OnceFallen's various projects related to promoting the abolishment of these humiliating and unconstitutional laws. (I do not pay myself a salary or buy anything personal with donation funds; see the 2018 OnceFallen annual report for services by CLICKING HERE.) At this time, I can only accept Paypal donations to iamthefallen1@yahoo.com (or clicking the "Make a Donation" Button above).

MISSION STATEMENT, DISCLAIMERS, AND CONTENT USE POLICIES MISSION: 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 offense 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 ARM/ Once Fallen DISCLAIMER: The Anti-Registry Movement does not promote sexual abuse of any kind, nor we do not work to lower/ abolish age of consent laws; we DO NOT affiliate, support, or align ourselves active members of such groups like NAMBLA or "Boychat/ Girlchat" sites; we do, however, support positive treatment and support for those who offended so that they may live productive and offense free lives. We support evidence-based (PROVEN) methods of prevention, education and treatment. We believe the public registry, residency restrictions, community notification, registry fees, GPS monitoring, and other post-release sanctions are NOT evidence- based and are ineffective as methods to achieving an offense-free society. Thus, we will publicly oppose these oppressive sanctions until these sanctions are fully abolished. [CLICK HERE for a further explanation on what it mean to be an anti-registry activist.]

| ONCE FALLEN: Origin (2006) In 2006, I bought a Mini DV (Standard Def) camcorder to film a documentary. What I ended up capturing was a journey that led me to being the activist I am today. When I first started filming, I lived in a run-down sleeping room. I just lost my last job and started collecting SSI soon after. I was also fighting in court to keep my residence. I lost my case but found a new apartment. i stayed with my mom for two months, leaving Cincy at the end of September and returning just after Thanksgiving. After some issues moving back, I settled into my new apartment, only to learn that the city was looking to increase residency restrictions. I took the fight back to city hall and won the right to stay at my new apartment. This victory inspired me to write my book and, a year to the day after my first speech at Cincinnati City Hall, the Once Fallen website. This is the archive footage from my first attempt at a film. |
