How can they lie?

My husband was caught in an internet sting 7 years ago. He was chatting with an alleged 14 year old under cover cop. They made appointments to meet yet he never answered to it. They did not meet up. He did exchange photos of his genitalia and asked for pictures of her. When he was arrested we paid bond and got a lawyer and he was out in bond 5 ish years. Last year in July he left to serve his sentence in prison 17 months in and 2 years out. Today he went to register at the Saint Charles sheriffs office and they set him as a tier 3 sex offender. My heart is utterly broken. We have 5 kids. He truly is a great father. That’s why I’ve stayed because I think my kids would be worst off without their Father. I didn’t have one and my life was not a good one. I just don’t get this? How can they just set him as a 3? When he was out on bond he knew he had a problem. He took 4 years of psychiatric therapy. He knew he needed help. He also got his masters in that time. They said nothing matters! Nothing! Just that one frustrating choice. I just don’t see a future for our family. I want to crawl under a rock. I know my neighbors will find out. There’s 4 cops in my neighborhood. We’ve lived here 5 years now. But he was not on the registry. Is there a way for us to survive this? I don’t know. Seems like this is all made specifically to make crimes look worse than they are. This is a victimless, contactless crime. He also finished MOSAP in prison. I just don’t get it.
