Low-risk sex offenders rely on local organizations as state-required registration hinders their reintegration
When Dwayne Daughtry meets someone for the first time, it rarely starts with an introduction. In 2011, Daughtry was charged with sexual battery — the only misdemeanor that leads to being listed as a sex offender.
