I would take a risk on him as a remote employee. But no way would I be willing to take a risk for an on site position. Especially with #MeToo OP maybe you should focus on remote jobs and be transparent upfront?

I agree that we treat felons extremely poorly. But as a point of order, I don't think sexual assaults are (or should be) considered as non-violent.
Flashing your wanger at someone passing by isn't really sexual assault though. I've been flashed by a drunk guy, I gave a surprised chuckle and walked away. My mum was flashed when some weirdo jumped into the back garden and started showing his stuff to her through the kitchen window; she chased him away with a sword. Neither of us thought for one minute we'd been sexually assaulted, and these instances just became a…
The implied threat of potential rape makes flashing a young women at least as violent as a credible threat to beat someone within an inch of their life.
I'm sympathetic to ReformedFelonForHire's situation, and regard this humiliating punishment as extreme, unnecessary and destructive to the fabric of society, but I don't think that means we should minimize the harm of his error.
At first, I thought this was a service for connecting felons to jobs. I always thought that'd be an awesome idea, especially if some sort of job training could be set up (jail is SUPPOSED to be for rehabilitation, right?) Anyway, best of luck with your job search. You seem very transparent about this, so forgive me if this is too forward - do you face difficulties being on the sex offendeder list with attending event…
The prison I volunteered in, there was a classroom full of computers, but the inmates weren't trusted to use them. There was some discussion of a "paper-based" computer-science course.

Now THIS is a felony that is 100% forgivable. You really, truly did nothing wrong and I hope all is going well for you. OP on the other hand...
From what I understand reading this thread, OP has a record for showing his junk in public... now I’m not saying it’s okay to be doing this, but it’s not like he actually assaulted or raped anyone either. I’ve seen unsolicited junk before (both male and female), and I’m still here and it hasn’t affected my life in any way; I just laughed it off and forgot about it 5 minutes later. I really don’t think this “crime” wa…
Tough situation and it’s clear you’re desperate. If you want some honest feedback, your pitch conveys that you do not understand the magnitude of your crime and how it is perceived by others. Perhaps you can ask your therapist about this. For instance, I had to post this from a throwaway over concern about your mental state. Best of luck.
I met him after all of this happened through an Internet marketing forum, where we exchanged ideas for a few years, before working together on several projects. He makes ~$50k/mo working on his own as an affiliate marketer. Affiliate marketing is only a part of my personal business, but I make more just from that than I could if I were a senior engineer at Google or Facebook.
So it’s something you should consider. While you won’t be curing cancer, as a reasonably intelligent programmer, you’ll have a leg up over most others doing it, and you can pretty easily make a very comfortable living. It’s also something you can do on a moonlighting basis even if you do manage to get a job.

Well first of all I think regardless of whether it's a minor offense relative to other offenses, my crimes did a lot of real and possibly long-lasting damage to some teenage girls and their families. And I think the fact that when you google my name a bunch of newspaper articles come up with reiterate this and force it on the front of people's mind, that doesn't do me any favors. I've tried contacting those newspaper…
I appreciate that you have come to understand that any sex crime, no matter how minor, can do (and typically does) terrible psychological harm to the victim and anyone close to them. And you absolutely need to not ever do it again. But I'm a 52 year old woman who was molested and raped as a child and who spent years in therapy over that. I have read enormous amounts about what I would term human sexual morality and s…
To me the site doesn't work very well, as it mentions two offenses and describes one. It seems evasive; people aren't specifically interested only the crime got you the mandatory felony conviction. It would work better if there is full disclosure as people are going to want to Google you and they're going to find it anyhow.
