A convicted sex offender living in Beaufort County says he just wants to get on with his life.

Ernest Rambo, 41 years-old, talked with Dave Jordan about how he ended up on North Carolina's Sex Offender Registry and what people think about his conviction of statutory rape.

Rambo said the person involved was a 15 year-old, "Like I said I saw it, I left, I got accused of it, I did my time. I did 16 years. I've been down here two years, I have a nice steady job, I work fulltime. Everybody has opinions, I can't stop someone from giving an opinion of me. If a person can't accept me for who I am when they meet me, hey, I don't need them. I'm not trying to hide from nobody, but hey, it happened."

Rambo is headed back to court this month because he is charged with failing to register as a sex offender as required by law. He also faces charges of DWI, giving fictitious information to police, and driving with a revoked license.

Rambo says failing to register as a sex offender is just a mix up.

I don't regret my husband doing the interview actually they are talkng with me to do 1. The asked him as he was walking out of the sherriff's office. he was kinda cornered. I'm not ashamed of my husband he was falsely accused what i'm upset about is people forming opinions without even talking to us. Or people posting our current life on this webpage. Yes we go to church every Sunday. GOD forgives. I just think you should get to know someone b-4 you judge them by what the news says. Anyone can come to our house ne time if they want.

If Mr. and Mrs. Rambo didn't want things going on in their lives to be posted all over the news, then why did he do the interview? Was it mandatory based on his conviction? I very highly doubt that. I'm very sure that it was voluntary. You guys volunteered to have your lives plastered all over the news. I would regret it now too, if I were you.
