He asked us not to name him because he says he's changed since raping a stranger in the 1990s. He credits his growth to the Sexual Offender Accountability and Responsibility program run by North Carolina prisons.

SOAR's a 20-week mix of group and individual therapy. It's for guys who admit to committing sex crimes from incest to molesting a child. The men live and learn together in a separate unit of the Harnett Correctional Institution.
