I honestly have no desire to know who is a sex offender in my community. For one, it'd make me super nervous, and for another, I kinda hate how all sex offenders are grouped together when, imo, the crimes are not all equal.

Relationship with a three year age gap is way different from 40 year old molesting a six year old.

Is there a marker or something that lists what they're on the list for? Like, is a sex offender who was a 19 year old sleeping with a 17 year old differentiated on the list in any way from someone who molests children? I've never been to check and don't really want to, so I don't know.

Re: People you thought you knew.

Yes there is. The markers are different colors depending on what crime it is. All the crimes are separated and you can see everything they've been charged with.

Also in most states there's like a 4 year gap between an adult and a minor given if the relationship started when both were underage. It's about registering creepers who knowingly break the law, from rape, sexual assault, kidnapping, etc.

Not in my state, at least the last time I looked at the sex offender registry list.

Actually, it does bug me that say people who are just one year above the age limit who have sex with boy/girlfriend who is just under the age limit and get charged with statutory rape are in the same category with others on the sex offender list. That really isn't the same thing as say someone who is four or five years older and/or in a position of authority and taking advantage of the underage person.

An 18 year old sleeping with a 15 year old isn't quite the same as pedophilia.

A forty year old sleeping with a fifteen year old isn't quite the same as peadophilia.

They're very distinct problems that need to be dealt with in very different ways from both a social and law enforcement perspective.

But appreciating that nuance means you must inherently support the other? It's fucking bizzarre.

Erm, yes. Yes it is. This bullshit argument is what creepy old men say to justify them raping children. It's still creepy and more to the point it is still illegal.

ntayrt, but I kind of agree?

In some places, if you have sex with your underaged girlfriend- even if the age difference between the two of you is less than a year- can get hit with a sex offender claim.

Re: People you thought you knew.

(Anonymous) 2014-02-23 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not? There was a guy at my high school who was 18 and dating a 15 year old at the same school, and though it was consensual, the girl's parents were mad about the relationship and because of the age difference they accused him of statutory rape and he was registered as a sex offender. I don't know where this guy is now or if that ever resolved, but it made me mad to think that he could be registered on the same level as rapists and people who molest others. (and for the record, I very much support statutory rape laws, but two high school kids who take a class together? ugh.)

this is ayrt, by the way. and after I commented, I looked up sex offender crimes, and apparently even public urination can get you that label. not all crimes that can get you a "sex offender" label are equal at all, and that's why I have a problem with that system.

It really varies based on state. I don't know the current law in NJ, but the age of consent used to be 16. That means under 16 you couldn't consent to any sex, but over 16 you could consent and the other party could not be more than 4 years older.

I have to agree. Under the law in most states a seventeen year old who takes a nude selfie to send to her teenage boyfriend is the same as a grown adult who lures children to his basement to rape. For me, those two things are no where near the same and, yet, again, under the law, that teenager would have to register herself as a sex offender.

... for distribution of child pornography. This system is so good at distinguishing actually really different situations, woo.

You can get on the list for peeing in public.

Is it true that you can get on one of those lists for public urination or for having sex with your 17-year old girlfriend when you're 18?

Re: People you thought you knew.

(Anonymous) 2014-02-23 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. I have a family member who is a registered sex offender for having sex with his then-gf/now-wife when he was 18 and she was 17.

Yes tot he first in New York. Public urination = indecent exposure = sex offender

Depends on what state you are in. Unfortunately, there are areas like this.

(You don't actually get put on there for urination - it's that public urination = baring your dick = indecent exposure = sex crime).

They don't necessarily happen as often as rape apologists claim they do, but they also happen a lot more than people realize. And unfortunately, even your name ending up on one of these things is a blacklisting, especially in terms of housing and employment, which is why so many people oppose these systems - some idiotic high school kid screws another idiotic high school kid and one gets restricted employment and housing options for years or even the rest of their life while the other has no long-term repercussions, despite the fact they may very well have been at the same maturity level and only 'off' from the legal age gap by a fairly short amount of time.
