Hi, I know the sex offender hysteria has died down or whatever with all the Police doing sexual assaults and killings, but I found this board because I was bored. Long story short, I was a law school student who was accused by my neice who was 13. So, court came and I got a 1st offender sentence and was advised to withdraw from law school. I am still trying to get back in. I think I need the whole "done with therapy" letter from my therapist. Currently, I am on my third job that I have had thanks to the economic recovery. The 1st offender stuff really helps keeping my record clean. Considering all the scandals, the general public who is not ignorant doesn't really care so much about a person being a sex offender. Or me probably. There is a LOT of stuff going on that causes people to lose faith in the system. I am currently very close to maintenance or the last part of my program. I only messed up a polygraph once. My first one. Problem is that they take all my answers as true. ALL of them. ALL OF THEM. So, apparently, while being sarcastic, I claimed to be grooming my probation officer and that I had sex with cars or a fetish for sport cars. Unbelievable stuff. Things that would later come out in a movie with Cameron Diaz. My probation officer is quite heavy set, btw. Lead to a room with a very serious discussion and I told them dude would not let up and basically tried to coerce stuff out of me. So, they let it go. But, I noticed I basically pass the machine always. The thing is, I have a sleeping sickness and basically I can't sit for too long without sleeping unless I have some kinda thing to do. I slept through the 2nd half of two very good movies. I tried that polygrapher again and tried to convey to him about involuntary responses and since I was a law student (complete 2L coursework), I used the intent portion of the sexual battery law as a segway. Dude had an attitude. he got angry, yelled and everything about "I know the law". I wasn't trying to teach him the law. he is just an idiot. I still passed with that yelling behemoth (300lbs.) of a guy yelling at me while hooked up to the machine. So, I got another polygrapher. She was a female who others would call 'butch; in body type. Yes or No questions. She actually did it correctly. No argument. No whole paragraph worth of answers. Just yes or no questions. So, I looked up how to give a polygraph. It turns out the other guy wasn't applying it right at all. Anyways, for some reason she left the business after I guess two tests and I had to have his protege. Now, I admitted to whatever so I could have therapy. Polygraphs aren't admitted by courts so it wasn't an option to take one before trial. The problem with lying about doing something is you gotta remember what you said. Well, I forgot. So dude asks what I did to my victim and I give him like my first answer 2 different times. I gave him the same story that fits the police report (also not admissible in criminal trials) about her deleting her entire text message history despite it being the source of the accusation. I'm not even hooked up to the machine. He then says "So you have a Bachelors and you still ______". So, he leaves to talk to the behemoth and comes back and says what is on record with them and claims I 'caught religion'. Then he claims he'd have a problem believing what I say. Thing is, what he recited, the sports car fetish (my trust fund isn't that big), the incorrect ages, and whatever else don't match the police report. So, I say, "I don't expect you to believe me, just know that as a police report is an affidavit of truth given on behalf of an officer, there are inconsistencies between that and whatever he got from his boss(the behemoth). Then I passed the polygraph. In this polygraph, I don't have a facebook and I've never lied to my Probation Officer. The money I used to pay for it came from a job that I hadn't registered and the original interrogation from the police would prove the facebook thing is wrong. I also now know he has little to no education. The reason I don't like the polygraphs isn't just the money, but frankly how unprofessionally and incorrectly they are done. If done correctly, I would be ok with it, but they aren't a lot of the times. I also have an undiagnosed sleep disorder, but didn't go to trial so they have no idea. I'm half asleep half the time I take them. I also sleepwalk. But hey, they gotta apply the same polygraphs to everyone. But, I do know someone who basically wrote motions to get himself out of them.
