Your permanent criminal record and public sex registration will make it challenging for you to secure future opportunities. You can be denied employment, bank loans, housing and other benefits that involve a background check. Along with the disadvantages of your criminal record, the social stigma of having to register as a sex offender may cause you to face harassment and disassociation.
