Exoneration still elusive for Jesse Friedman

    Sex-offender data is used to collect money and intimidate
    Posted On 26 May, 2013 – 7 Comments
    A network of Arizona-based Internet companies is mining data from sex-offender sites maintained by law-enforcement agencies and using it to demand money and harass those who complain or refuse to pay.

    State and national registries are set up to provide information on where the most serious sex offenders are living and warn that the information cannot be used to threaten, harass or intimidate offenders.

    But sex offenders and others profiled by the Arizona companies accuse their operators, in a civil lawsuit and elsewhere, of running an extortion racket by demanding up to $499 for removing names, criminal histories, photographs, addresses, phone numbers and other personal data from their non-government sites.

    They accuse operators of posting inaccurate or old information and using the threat of exposure as a sex offender as leverage. Full Article

  2. Really? The evidence proves Jesse WASN’T wrongfully convicted, and you censor a comment pointing that out? Really?

    You don’t ever get to complain about injustice again.
