I must disagree with Stefano. No one on this message board is in any position to provide an authoritative answer to Lori's question, because laws and procedures vary from state to state. For convicted sex offenders in court-ordered therapy programs, in some jurisdictions, a failed polygraph may result in expulsion from therapy and ultimately, a return to prison.

Lori, you should consult a local attorney with a background in criminal law regarding your legal rights and obligations at this point. If you don't already have have an attorney, Martindale's database may be helpful for finding one near you:

Thanks George, I removed my posting. My advice was based upon an attorney's advice from my State. You are correct in that every jurisdiction is different.
