I had to serve a year there. So I did three and a half. I was supposed to do four years, three months. They kept me an extra three months for whatever bullshit reason. I got called down to the parole office and the guy's like- you know, when I had like two months to go, he's like, you're not getting out in two months. And I'm like, why?

Cause that was my 85%, you know, you know, the Nira act, no early release act, you know, 85% was four years, three months out of a, out of five. And, uh, He's like, you don't have enough commutation time because you spent so much time in the county jail compared to what your sentence is. You don't have that good time. He goes, so you have a 85% date, but you also have a max date.

And he goes, they're keeping you to your max date. So it was four years, six months, and a couple of days. So I had to do an extra three months.

Well, I still got three years of parole when I get released. And, you know, they're piss testing you. They're seeing you twice a week early on. Then it's once a week, you know, constantly testing you. I instantly became an advocate for getting a new law adopted in New Jersey for statute of limitations when somebody can sue. their abuser or the organization that held their abuser.

And I started as an advocate. I sort of like fell into it. I went and saw this high-profile law firm. An article came across my phone. Now, when you Google stuff, all of a sudden you start getting news articles related to what you Google. So I must have Googled something about abuse or molestation.

And this article about these three Boy Scouts in the county next to me who were suing their Boy Scout leader said, And came across and it mentioned the law firm they were using. So I was like, screw it. I'm going to call this law firm. So I called the law firm, got in touch with this lawyer, went and saw him. And he's like, the way the law states now, you have no case.

He goes, I know some of the advocates working to overturn the law. I know them personally. He goes, maybe your story is so over the top, you can sway some of the senators that are holding this up, specifically Senator Sweeney. And maybe your story can help get a new law. So I became an advocate. I went in there for selfish reasons.

And I walked out of that office representing every abuse victim in the state. And I became an advocate and started meeting with senators. And I got to testify before a grand jury or not a grand jury, before a Senate committee. And in two years, they adopted the new law. Some of the advocates were working for over 15 years on this new law. And just it was getting held up.

They were getting nowhere. They were getting blocked. And I'm not saying my story was the deciding factor, but I'm just saying I only had to work on it for two years with them for us to finally get the new law passed. What really did it for our state is Pennsylvania. The attorney general did an investigation on the Catholic Church, and it was a bombshell report. And it was just it.

The numbers were so astronomical. that our attorney general then said, I'm going to open up, you know, an investigation, you know, into abuse in the churches as well. And that sort of forced the hand of the senators that were holding it up. And, you know, they adopted into law. The ironic part is Pennsylvania still hasn't adopted the law.
