February 2007
J.A., an innocent man who spent 10 years in an Oregon prison after being falsely accused in 1985, former prison escapee and fugitive from justice, prisoner's rights and men's rights activist, cofounder of Californians Against Jessica's Law (CAJL) in 2006 and founder of Society Against False Accusations of Rape (SAFAR) in 1990, and author is missing and has said to have left the country. No one knows where he is. We thought his supporters should know that he has not forgotten them or has turned his back on the cause. He simply has disappeared. Of course, who can blame him after the nightmare he's been forced to endure these many years. Good luck.
UPDATE: Nov. 2010
J.A. was captured in July of 2008 and given a 4 year prison term for refusing to register as a SO. On 10/23/2010 he was released and is now serving a 3 year parole sentence in Santa Clara Co., California that has turned out to be a true nightmare. James now has a GPS Tracking Device locked onto his ankle 24/7. He has to charge it up twice a day for an hour each time and if his shackle loses power he will be sent back to prison. James has also find it next to impossible to find a place to live due to new residential restrictions that make 80% of the Co. off limits to him. He can not enter a school, park, ect..... or will be immediately arrested. If he stays for more than 2 hours in a forbidden area (80%) he is in violation of Jessica's Law and will be sent back to prison. James has begun filming a documentary film entitled, " I Was a Fugitive from the Sex Crime Witch Hunters " that will chronicle a month of being on parole in CA and trying to comply with the insane, new Jessica's Law. James will never give up his more than 20 year battle with the so-called Just-Us System. Much more later.
The following are internet links to some of the writings by J.A. and writings by others about him.
