Glad you bumped this. Last night I remembered another one of these registry horror stories as told by Geragos. IIRC, a guy caught a statutory rape charge for sleeping with his girlfriend. It was nothing crazy. One of those 19/16 kind of deals. Anyway, he went on the registry. They end up getting married at some later point. Flash forward several years and the guy and the girl have been married for years and have a kid or two. He was still on the registry for having sex with her.

As you can see in the maps below, consensual sex between teenagers is just one of several crimes far removed from violent felonies that can land one on a sex offender registry. Kansas and at least five other states require registration for some prostitution-related offences, such as solicitation or running a brothel. In Michigan and at least 11 other states, urinating in public is.*

quote:
And now these laws have been extended so that even a 16 year old boy or girl who has sex with another boy or girl that is sufficiently younger can wind up on the list for life even if the sex is consensual. Here is one example, Wendy Whitaker has been listed as a sex offender for 12 year and is danger of losing her house because of a decade old blowjob. When she had just turned 17 she performed oral sex on a classmate who was 3 weeks shy of his 16th birthday.
Another stupid application of sex offender laws and registries: Boulders annual Naked Pumpkin Run runners could be charged as sex offenders and forced to register.
Another case: a 15 year old girl was arrested on child pornography charges for taking nude pictures of…herself. This girl could be forced to register as a sex offender for a very long time possibly the rest of her life.
quote:
The Florida Department of Corrections says there are fewer and fewer places in Miami-Dade County where sex offenders can live because the county has some of the strongest restrictions against this kind of criminal in the country. Florida’s solution: house the convicted felons under a bridge that forms one part of the causeway. The Julia Tuttle Causeway, which links Miami to Miami Beach, offers no running water, no electricity and little protection from nasty weather. It’s not an ideal solution, Department of Corrections Officials told CNN, but at least the state knows where the sex offenders are.

yeah there are full towns dedicated to housing people on the registry. there is one in Florida and one like in Nebraska or somewhere in that plains-midwest area
i honestly do not see how a prosecutor could sleep at night following this situation
there are certainly bad people who need registration at some point. a 15 (nearly 16) year old boy getting a BJ from a minor older than him should never, ever, EVER be criminal, let alone lead to registration for the blower. that is literal insanity

quote:When urinating in public puts you on the same sex offender registry list as a pedophile there is something wrong with the criminal code.
The problem isn't with the registry. It is with the criminal code.

The police and prosecutors typically treat bra and panties more seriously than bikini, due to the "sexual context" of underwear.

So you want to legalize pedophilia? How democrat of you

17 year old couples can have sex and see each other naked, but if they take/send a nude? serious felony crime
I agree. That's going too far.
I'm just grateful we were born after camera phones.

however when dealing with these "sexting" scenarios, those concerns ramp up 10000000%
The 'sexting' issue is critical factor.
Now the difference between sending images over airwaves/cyberspace verses, say, a personal viewing between a scantily-clad underage child and an eighteen year old is very small. I really don't think either option is a smart one and must be avoided.

bumping b/c now we see how even progressives have distorted this entire area of discussion to prevent any meaningful change in policy
