My 2 cents as a parent, why are parents not explaining (over and over again) to their children that it is against the law to have sex with someone who is underage?
It is sad to read about these teens that have messed up their lives. But, the law is the law, is the law. If we say that sometimes it is ok for a 17 year old to have sex with a 14 year old, where do we draw the line? What if it was a 15 year old boy and a 12 year old girl? Same age difference. In my many years, I have never met a 14 year old (boy or girl) that was mentally and emotionally mature enough to be having sex.

votes are only a small portion of what it is about people. Why do you think really all the agencys are being grouped and roped under the feds? Why do you think homeland security is opening servicing centers all around the country to analize and group all hte information.. let me just say registrys like this are even recorded in the bible, stalin did them and so did hitler..every single case from the bible to hitler and stalin really really bad things came for the entire populations under them.. read your history. dont take my word for it.

Wisconsin has begun putting non sex criminals on this registry and have 10 yr olds on it. There needs to be a tier system to tell the public: watch out for this guy who has been raping for 3 decades instead of the 17 yr olds who felt up their girlfriends.

We do NOT support sex with children or rape. ——No they just compare guys who rape little kids with Jesus and say being arrested for raping their step daughter is the same as the jews being killed by nazis……

i waz 20 and moved in with a friend who had a 16 year old sister.turns out that girl waz sex happy. had sex with everyone. well i waz kind of a nerd and didnt get any lol. i had sex only twice before. well one day SHE convinced me to date her, and thats when my life turned upside down.i even asked her dad for permission. her jealous ex boyfriend called the cops. he waz even 2 years over age. well i lived with her had her dads permission and the family didnt want to press charges and i still got sent to prison. hopefully some law will help me get my name off the registry and not painted with the same brush as all the real rapists. everyone a talk to even my parole officer says i got screwed. i bet if you polled america over 50 % will say it shouldnt even be illegal.

I dont understand why you’re all sitting on this website up in arms about these unfair sex offender laws. I’ve lived as a sex offender for almost 5 years now. I am stuck on this list for the rest of my life, for something that I did when I was under the age of 13. Where were all of your protests then? Your letters, your cries of passion over the “animalistic” treatment of us? I’ll tell you where, they were buried in your chests. In your minds, because just like all of those POLITICIANS, no normal citizen wants to stand up for our rights. You put your head down, and you go with the rest of society to keep from being ostracized yourselves. So before you all go pointing fingers at OTHERS for not making a change, I suggest you grab a sign, and picket. Grab a pen, and write a letter. Grab a bullhorn, and make your voices heard. Because thats the ONLY way things will ever change.

My son was sent to prison when he was 17 years old for having sex with his girlfriend who was 14 months younger than him. The state give him the minimum 4 years to 15 years according to the State supplied attorney. WHAT A MISTAKE THAT WAS. Her father drove this issue. When the police asked my son did you have sex with this girl he said yes not knowing he did anything wrong. He has been in prison for almost 7 years. We could not even go to court and try this case because he admitted having sex with her. . The prosecution said if you try this case we will ask the judge to lock your son up for 20 years. They force you to plea bargain. You feel you have no choice because my son already admitted having sex.. I have tried everything. Maybe some day it will happen to a Judges son. Problem with that is the whole case would get swepped under the rug
