When I was 16, I was called to a meeting with an investigator named Sam. Upon meeting with him I was informed that someone had reported me for sexual assault against a minor, my cousin of 4 years at that time who I had never met. I did my best to explain that I’m autistic and children frighten me, and I was assured that he did not feel I’d broken the law. I was allowed to leave. The next day, I was arrested at the courthouse for sexual assault on my cousin I’ve never met and taken to jail. I spent two years in jail without any support for my autism while the court waited for me to turn 18. Once I was of age, and after getting beaten several times a week, I was given a plea bargain and I pled guilty to a crime I never committed to escape my torment. After spending 6 years in prison on a 10 year sentence, I was released. My first probation officer worked tirelessly to reincarcerate me, as she felt “retards” didn’t need help, they needed to die. I spent an additional 4 years in prison for doing as my probation officer told me to do. After my release December 22, 2015 I swore to sue anyone who tried to get me to break the law, whether probation officer or not. I’m 38 years old now, I still have no support for my autism, I have developed many new mental and physical health problems, and I’ve still never met the cousin I allegedly raped. August 23rd, 2016 I was hit by a truck on a motorized bike for being autistic and gay. I nearly died, I cannot drive, and I live every day hoping to pass away. I simply am tired of living convicted of a crime I didn’t commit, I have tried to get a pardon, but to no avail. I’m still afraid of children, and I wouldn’t save one drowning in a river. My autism was used against me! How many people have to suffer like me?
My daughter, Jennifer, was wrongfully convicted of child abduction and causing to expose genitals. The Appellant’s Brief details how Smart was wrongfully convicted by counsel, the state, and the circuit court—each in part strategizing to convict her. That happened on June 11, 1999—26 years ago.
Jennifer did not discover what they had done until she began questioning the requirement to register as a lifetime sex offender in September of 2021. “State v. Jennifer R. Smart” is an RSS feed that goes to the Wisconsin Circuit Court Access. The case is now in appeals court, awaiting opinion of a 3-judge panel.

Before I was convicted I was being blackmailed, harassed and abused by my ex. I told my lawyer multiple times that my abuser was doing this in which he ignored. My abuse continues to this day. He stalks, harasses, threatens, me, my family, my friends, any accounts I have/had and my place of work. I can’t get help from abuse shelters because of my status, and I can’t move without him knowing where I am because he can look me up on the registry. He cyber stalks me and I’ve proven it multiple times. I am a single mother of 5 children just trying to stay safe. This story does go deeper but honestly I’d have to write a book.
My son was convicted of having 2 pictures in his phone his girlfriend (17) sent him from Illinois showing one of her breasts. He was put on the registry for 10 years and spent 2 years in jail. That was 2017. He has since married and has 3 children . His compliance officer was not putting the information he provided like where he started a job , a new job when he changed jobs , the vin numbers when he bought a new car . The officer caused him to be 2 days late paying his yearly supervision fee and only met up with him after he sent an email stating to the officer ” this way I have proof I tried to pay since you have not returned my messages for 2 weeks. The real problem is ongoing now, 3 officers showed up doing a compliance check in the county we live in and arrested him for not reporting one car. I was with him when he reported it . An officer who did not come here went to the court clerk swearing he came here at 12pm arrested my son and left at 12:05. This officer committed perjury as he was not here. He also had not put anything in the computer my son had reported to him. That officer has been fired for not doing his job but the prosecutor refused to drop the charges . He offered my son a plea deal of 2 years probation but took that back after he said he made a mistake and my son would have to serve 1 year and 1/4 year for this violation. My son said he wanted to take it to trial because he is innocent, the prosecutor filed a motion to enhance the sentence because he rejected the plea bargain. My son’s lawyer says the prosecutor will not turn over evidence to get ready for trial. The prosecutor knows the officer was fired for not doing his job but refused to even talk with my son or drop the charges. He has a wife and 3 small children 5 and under who depend on him. No one cares if they lose their home, go on welfare or what will happen to his family, all because a police officer deliberately caused men on the registry to violate. 12 men were arrested the same day, all for not reporting something according to the other officer who did not do his job. We have already paid $3000 and lawyers want $3000 more. All this takes from his family.
