[brookelewis]

No people he was 12 when he did it and I need a real answer not openions OK he's 25 now and hasent offended since plus it was a 11 year old girl OK so get over it not all sex offenders a are bad people dude.

[hvacservicetech_07]

How can you be a sex offender at 12? I'm not really sure how it works because I'm not a sex offender nor do I know any, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't carry that into adulthood?? Maybe someone else can answer this?

[hvacservicetech_07]

LOL@Dude, That's what I thought, I'm no sex offender expert!

Acutally when the word "sex offender" is used people picture a child molester. And then someone in this post said "how can you be a sex offender at age 12". Well let me tell you this. If 2 12 year olds have consentual sex and law enforcement gets involved, both become sex offenders. An yes it is true that juvenile records get sealed for SOME crimes. But not for sex offenses, murder, aggrivated charges, or anything they are tried as an ADULT for. Here is a list of some crimes that you can become a sex offender for

Being under 14 and having consentual sex
Being a few months older than your boyfriend/girl friend, and turning 18
Selling drugs to a minor in some states
Urinating in public in most states
Kid napping a minor
Murder of someone under 18 in some states
Having public sex consentually
Being lied to by a minor with a fake ID
My personal favorite: pissing a woman off and getting fake charges pressed!

While kidnapping, murder and selling drugs are surely very bad crimes, there is no reason for them to be classified as sex offenders. In my opinion either have a murder registry, a drug registry and a violent offender registry, or do away with the sex offender registry, OR just have a felon registry. I am a felon, I would not benefit from this, however the laws in this country about sex offenders are scary, because who is next. What group will the government decide to strip the rights of next? They already have a registry for peopple from the middle east, what about a musliim registry next?

And the ignorance about the public regarding sex offenders is appalling. What if the person moving in next door is on the registry for urinating in public. Should you really be worried about this person? I think not

OMG, someone else that sees how SCARY BIG BROTHER IS, we ALL need to wake up & stop this 'scarlet letter' attitude that helps NO ONE. Remember the movie Escape from NY, is that our goverments next move,, who will be sent to FREE US from US?

Well I really don't like the word sex offender for the simple reason that people that date for instence if you 21 and you date a 17 year old by law you all ready a sex offender even though you not if we look back at when our parents got married I bet you that there was a very big age difference. The people that really are sex offenders are still out of jail while othes are in jail for just dateing with parental permision

Not real sure what his chances are but I would start appealing for expungement of his conviction if that's the case. My son just turned 17 (junior in high school) and his girlfriend was 15 (sophomore in high school) and she had a "hickie" on her neck and he was arrested for sexual assault and convicted as a sex offender solely on the fact that he was 17 and she 15- and mind you- he spent time in jail and missed the last half of his junior year. However, we did get the judge to agree to offer expungement of the conviction after 2 years of probation.

I totally agree with you not all sex offenders are really bad I'm going tru something similar to you the only thing my fiancé was dating a girl that was 14 when he was 23 and now was sentence to jail for15 to 30 months 2 weeks ago and he not a bad guy sometimes the system don't work instead all the real sex offenders that are bad are getting released from jail when they should be keep in jail so I simpatize with you:(

All else aside if he knew he had to register, why didn't he?

You've posted this before and I've asked the question before - he was found guilty of 4 counts of corrupting a minor. What State are you in? I never see that charge in NYS.
