“We worked hard to make the Megan’s Law database available online so parents know who is living in their community. For Shawn Nelson’s law firm to give convicted sex offenders advice on how to get around this law, and then hide it as he runs for office, shows the kind of character he really has.” –Nina Salerno Ashford, Member, Executive

Board, Crime Victims United of California

What Shawn Nelson Doesn’t Want You To KnowShawn Nelson is asking you not to believe the real facts about his record. We have

done research and thoroughly evaluated the public documents. Everything we cite has documentation so you can verify these facts yourself. Don’t let Shawn Nelson hide his real

record with false counter-claims. We are not backing any candidate in this race.

“While a criminal’s act may take mere moments, its effects last a lifetime for victims and their families. We need to think about what crime victims go

through, not sympathize with the so-called ‘social-stigma’ sex offenders face like Shawn Nelson’s law firm does.”–Denise Furtado, Member, Crime Victims United

SHAWN NELSON’S LAW FIRM IS HIDING ITS ADVERTISING AS HE RUNS FOR COUNTY SUPERVISOR

Shawn Nelson’s law firm is hiding its advertising to convicted sex offenders. One ad sympathized with the “social stigma” sex offenders face and urged them to appeal convictions allowing them to delay registering their whereabouts with local police departments.

Sex Offender Advertisements Hidden from Public ViewDon’t just take our word for it. According to RedCounty.com, a leading conservative political blog, “These online ads have been largely scrubbed from the Internet—no doubt once it became apparent what a political liability they were.” (RedCounty.com, May 17, 2010)
