This may be the main reason
"If he had accepted the plea bargain, Wilson would've had to register as a sex offender and wouldn't have been permitted to live in the same house as his younger sister.
Wilson refused to admit to being a child molester. If he pled to or was convicted of any charge that put him on the sex offender registry, he couldn't live at home with his younger sister. He wouldn't accept that, so he waited for his trial."
I believe he wouldn't be put on the sex offender registry LIST if he gets out. I believe he still would be a "Sex Offender" technically......even though everyone knows he really isn't.
