This is a wonderful startup in Las Vegas. They definitely hire Felons.

Any chance your former employer would take you back on a reduced salary, while you work on your portfolio/freelancing/rehabilitating your record?

Why don't you have references?

I think long term you should focus on changing your name and getting a good profile and work history on UpWork. This could lead to a steady job, and no one will ever check your background for freelance jobs.

Why was the crime of flashing a 17 year old published in 4 major newspapers?
