this is a good thing for that individual,but what happens when the marriage turns sour,and the wife ,and her family tries to use the past against the offender.trust me it is not pretty.i speak from experience.come to find out my ex-wifes baby brother was convicted of molesting a 2 year old girl,and sent to juvinille prison.but the catch is they tried to use against my circumstance,and extort everything they could get out of me.telling me i was a sick f_cker for sleeping with a teenage girl,and the baby brother tried to tell me he was going to try and get me put in jail by using another peoples children which i had never touched.this is good when people can go on with their lives ,but what happens when people try to use it against people on the offenders list.some people deserve it,but most people dont.until the laws are changed the conterversety goes on every day.
