I just heard back from the dog rescue place. They're going to send someone over to do a home visit, and check my references, and if all that works out, then I'll get to adopt the dog!

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
No, omnis, there were felony convictions.
The California state government Megan's Law page lists three offenses. Two of them are phrased "prior code" so we're looking at multiple time frames. And the key phrase here is in the middle of the page: "Registrant has subsequent felony conviction(s) but DOJ has no incarceration information for this felony." which reads to me that there were subsequent felony convictions besides these.
"Sheriff's daughter" scapegoat thing could conceivably "explain" 288(c)PRIOR CODE - LEWD OR LASCIVIOUS ACTS WITH A CHILD 14 OR 15 YEARS OF AGE, but I'm skeptical on even that.
But even if that is exactly as he says, it does not explain the remaining two counts of 289(e) SEX PENETRATION WITH FOREIGN OBJECT OF A DRUGGED VICTIM and 261(2) PRIOR CODE - RAPE BY FORCE.
Plus, like I said, potentially additional felony convictions.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Ugh, omnis. I was worried that he would try to explain it all away. I'm sorry.

Trust my rage
I'm not surprised that the guy would try to explain away the convictions. But Ido give him credit for having told your mom. If she has the information then I think you have done what you can. I can't see why you would have any liability beyond the normal kind with him at your house. Not that I would want him sleeping over myself...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm going to repeat the previous suggestion: ideally your mother, but if not, you, should talk to the prosecutor involved in the case. (His story has the added benefit - to him - of making the police sound untrustworthy, but if there are previous charges and such, you need to know the evidence and the story on any priors.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Man, omnis, that is so tough. I don't trust him, either. Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three convictions for sex crimes is OH HELL NO.
Continued dog~ma (heh), Hil!

The status is NOT quo.
Crossing fingers for the dog rescue, Hil! If you get the pooch, I suggest enrollment in a beginning obedience class as soon as possible--it's as much about learning how to be a dog owner as it is for the dog, and I find that training is a great way to bond with my dogs.

Compassionately intolerant
My oh my, I do not envy the folks at the various soirees around town. Since the warmish afternoon of 47 degrees, we are now at "32 but feels like 19" out. And the wind is HIGH.
Later today, a high of 24...feels like godforsaken.
Brrr.
I'm going to go cuddle my heating pad.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Sadly, I don't know how much you can do to convince your mom given his stories to her. It's such a shitty position to be in, hon. I'm really sorry.
That is the crux of it now. I do give him credit for revealing his status. But yeah, it's easy to drop just enough truth to cover the lies.
Billytea, I'm not sure where to start looking for the prosecutor to try and get details. Good idea, just not sure where to start. Keep in mind, population for the entire country of Australia is roughly 23 million. Population just for the state of California is roughly 37 million. It'd be like saying, "somewhere in Perth area this dude did a crime, can you find the prosecutor?"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Hec's suggestion of a private investigator is a good one, but that can run you $200-$500. I don't know if you'd want to pay that. Maybe it wouldn't be so high since they would be running db searches, but if you'd want a thorough job...it probably would cost that much.
