The National Association for Rational Sexual Offense Laws (NARSOL) condemns both the letter and the Change.org petition recently circulated in the Atlanta area, which contain false information and doxxing content. These materials incite fear-based harassment and potential violence against law-abiding citizens, including venue staff and their families.

The letter and petition are filled with factual inaccuracies, misleading claims, and defamatory statements that misrepresent NARSOL’s mission, leadership, and activities. The allegations are demonstrably false, distort legal facts, and mischaracterize the purpose of NARSOL’s advocacy.

NARSOL is a national non-profit civil rights organization advocating for fair, evidence-based laws governing individuals required to register as sex offenders. Our work promotes rehabilitation, successful reentry, and prevention of sexual harm through education, research, and constitutional safeguards—never illicit activity. We do not advocate for sexual conduct between adults and minors nor condone child abuse. Public statements, litigation, and conference agendas confirm our commitment to due process and public safety.

The inflammatory “300-pedophile festival” description is wholly inaccurate. NARSOL conferences attract attorneys, researchers, advocates, family members, and individuals with lived experience — most of whom have no convictions involving minors — and are professional gatherings focused on legal reform and policy analysis.

The documents also misstate Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 42-1-15), which addresses residency, employment, and loitering restrictions for certain registrants. Attendance at lawful conferences, hotel stays, or educational events is not prohibited.

Personal attacks against NARSOL staff rely on unverified or false assertions, attempting guilt by association instead of fact-driven discourse. Targeting a hotel employee with no NARSOL affiliation is reckless and potentially harmful to that person, their coworkers, and their family.

Opposing overly broad or unconstitutional laws is not opposing public safety. Research consistently shows residency restrictions and public shaming fail to reduce reoffense rates and may undermine rehabilitation and community safety.

The authors of these documents claim to wish to prevent harm, yet strategically and methodically directly perpetrate harm instead. The hypocrisy of this action is alarmingly disturbing. Citizens should take care before believing or acting on what they read in an unsubstantiated online petition.
