But here’s where it gets dark: One of the early leaders of Reform Sex Offender Laws (RSOL), was Tom Reeves, a founding member of NAMBLA and vocal advocate for pedophilia. RSOL claims that Reeves resigned from NAMBLA before helping with this new organization. However, there is no proof of his resignation, and he was operating under the pseudonym “Alex Marbury.” Tom Reeves never renounced his pro-pedophile beliefs and continued pushing the same narratives under RSOL. The clearest proof of RSOL’s direct collaboration with NAMBLA came in March 2008. RSOL, led by Paul Shannon and Tom Reeves, organized a protest at Coalinga State Hospital in California, where convicted sex offenders are civilly committed after serving their sentences. The event was kept secret to avoid backlash. But despite their efforts, NAMBLA member Joe Power showed up—and later confirmed multiple NAMBLA members were there. So let’s be clear: RSOL wasn’t just adjacent to NAMBLA; RSOL spent years eagerly working alongside NAMBLA affiliates and members. By 2012, the Sex Offender Registry Reformists’ (RSOL) ties to NAMBLA were becoming too obvious to ignore. When RSOL tried to hold its 4th Annual Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico, public outrage forced its leadership to answer for their connections. RSOL’s own attorney admitted that a former NAMBLA member (Tom Reeves) had held a leadership role—but claimed he was removed. Yet, when Reeves died later that year, RSOL publicly mourned him. Paul Shannon even called him a “good friend and mentor.” So, was Reeves really removed? Or was he just quietly shuffled out to avoid bad press?
