I need some advice from someone that has gone through some of the stuff I am going through. I do not condider this man a sex addict. It was one incident where he got caught. Hes embarrassed by it and has been "sober" since 2005.
I met a guy really nice, smart, all the things I am looking for in a man and in a husband. Well a few days after I met him he told me he has to register as a sex offender. The reason: Masturbating online in a chat program, that ended up being an undercover cop. ( Yes the cop said she was 15, He said they were role playing and thought she was just playing along. You know being kinky).
I know that in time getting to know him I will find out who he is and if he has really changed as a person from what he say he is now. He has no interest in minors and the lie detector test said that as well on the police report.
My struggle is knowing if I can mentally handle having him on the sex offender list. I think maybe in 10 years he can try to petition to not have to register but that is unknown at this time.
I am not sure what the consequences are if I did get involved. Should I just run? I dont know where to turn for support/consolidation/mentoring.
Most people on this list do not deserve to relive their mistake for the rest of their lives.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Newbie,
Have you seen the police report/court documents, or are you taking his word for this? Was it a video/webcam chat, or just audio?
Unfortunately, you have no real way of knowing what kind of help he has received, or that he actually has the sobriety he claims. My inclination would be to say that there must be better fish in the sea, but certainly if you proceed it must be with extreme caution, especially if there are children in your life, including nieces and nephews, etc.

He is getting me the police report so I can see. It was just instant messaging like this, words.
You are right I have no real way of knowing. I do know that he has attended counseling and also that still attends celebrate recovery at his church and that he has accountability partners. He has shown me the chips he has.
My gut tells me that he has no interest in minors.

Sex addicts lie like rugs. Don't be a fool. Run. You have no idea what the truth is about this "man."

Even give the fact that his version of the event and the police report/lie detector test have the same facts?

You would then believe every person that is on the Registered Sex Offender list is guilty? And none of them learn from their mistakes? How about the ones that don't get caught, arent they the ones that are more dangerous?

Sweetheart, Denial is a very dangerous thing. Please don't kid yourself. Why would you want to be with someone who fantasized about a minor even once? Hello? Is anybody home? You have no idea what the dark recesses of his mind contain. DO NOT KID YOURSELF. RUN. Pathological liars can pass lie detector tests because they actually believe the lies they are telling. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Go swim.
Best, DW
