To be marked as a sex offender, a pedophile, or a child rapist is to carry a stigma that all but banishes you from society. And if that mark is literal - a permanent, inoperable face tattoo - anonymity vanishes, and all who see you know of your crime. For a man who is wrongly convicted of horrible deeds, this mark becomes his life. This story won a Parsec Award.
