You will note the definition of what an offender is, the CAS has their own dirty word for a person on the Provincial Child Abuse Registry, you are called a "REGISTERED PERSON" Well if you are a registered person on a Child Abuse Registry i think any reasonable person would assume you were an offender. The government came up with this term in order to avoid being in violation of christopher's law but anyone with half a brain can see that no matter what they call you they have unjustly labeled you as a sexual offender.
