That's how it should be, but it's not how it is. There have been countless examples of young people being convicted of statutory rape by having consensual sex with a partner less than two years younger than them.
Really? Name three.
Someone being charged in those circumstances would be very rare. The law is not just about the law and the letter, the most important factor is equity.

Statitory rape should not be considered a sex offense unless the age difference is substantial.

I agree.  I don't know how anyone can advocate lobotomies and penectomies and actually be serious.
One-two to the gut! Ouch.

Paedophilia is like homosexuality. It's a genetic condition, you can't simply 'reform' them. Those who can hold back their urges I have no problem with, but the ones who give in and travel to Southeast Asian countries to rape young girls and boys will not be persuaded to stop when administered conventional fines and jailtimes. They cannot be stopped unless drastic action is taken to remove their incentive to commit these atrocities.

A few months ago, in Malaysia, an 8 year old girl was abducted and found several days later dead in a gym bag. She was sexually abused and murdered without remorse.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurin_Jazlin

And now, just 2 days ago, another girl has been abducted. I have no doubt that what happened to Nurin is happening to her right now, and if the police doesn't find her soon, all hope will be lost.

These people strike time and time again, ruining the lives and futures of perfectly innocent young ones. Do you honestly think registration, fines, jailtime, caning or any conventional legal action short of the death penalty will stop them?

I believe all sex offenders need to register just because they move to a different state and start and new life with new people does not mean that could never happen again.

I would like to know of the criminals in my neighborhood especially if I live in the suburbs and I let me 13 year old child go outside to the park knowing that there is a sex offender out in the neighborhood I did not know about.

If he or she was to register I would know.

Where is the proof that these are genetic disorders?  Do you think homosexuality is a crime also?

Those are horrible crimes, and a gut-reaction usually is to do something horrible to perpetrator.  But that doesn't make it right. 

Perhaps the Malaysian police should work really hard to find the person(s) who abducted that poor girl.  How can you know that they were a repeat offender?

I don't like the road that this leads down.  First, these are "genetic conditions", and then there is a test for it.  Why not go preemptive, and punish those with the "genes" before and crime is committed?  What's next, punish thought crime?

I prefer a free society, thank you very much.

Just the element of attraction pedos have isn't a crime, Its just attraction, but once they turn into rapists/murderers then its a problem.

Everyone gets really offended when child molesters are brought up because there are kids involved. even know it makes the crime worse I think they should be treated as rapists first and foremost and then thought of as a pedophile.

Homosexuality is not a crime as long as the homosexuals don't go out in packs to drug and rape people.

The police are doing the very best that I believe they are capable of doing. Considering the similarities in both cases, in which the girls were seen being pulled into cars, I believe that the perpetrators are one and the same.

The prevention is in the punishment. Once a child rapist has been caught, tried, convicted and castrated, it will encourage other paedophiles to hold back their urges so as to not get their wangs chopped off.

Question:  Do you have proof of pedophilia being a genetic disorder?  (Or homosexuality for that matter?)  You stated that very matter-of-factly in another post.

Castration and lobotomy are cruel and inhumane.  If you can't see that, then I don't know what to say.  Thank god my country has the 8th amendment.

Interesting you bring up the 8th Amendment. I recall that this registration was challenged in court on the grounds that it was cruel and unusual (the humiliation, et cetera) but was dismissed because the registration isn't explicitly part of the punishment for the crime, or so the ruling went.

I support sex offender registration for sex crimes in which there was a victim.

A 16 year old having sex with her 18 year old boy friend does not render a victim.

I will go as far as to say that a 16 year old boy having sex with his 22 year old teacher also does not render a victim. The reverse however does, young women are far more vulnerable than young men and can easily be manipulated and impressionable. This is something that can be taken advantage off by an unscrupulous older man. It is a double standard that I acknowledge and bow to. Stick to human nature and strip away all Political Correctness, you know I am right.


Child molestation, rape, peeping toms, perverts in the park etc.........these crimes have victims.

I bet all the people that are sympathetic to these pedophiles would change their tunes... if they came home and found out their little sister or brother had been fucked or sodomized by some 45 year old down the street...  I don't think the molesters should be beaten or abused... and once they have done their time... they are free...   But i am very glad they have watchdogs out there to keep an eye on these people...

Well, refer to the case of Genarlow Wilson, and all the other cases that you read an article or two about before the media forgets it, and then all the cases where the "rapist" isn't a high school football star or related to anyone prominent enough to highlight their cases.

Googling this yields a fuckton of irrelevant links, as would be expected, so I'm not going to sift through these to find three cases with enough media coverage to get on even the first ten pages of the results, but to give you an example, the state of Georgia supposedly has over 1100 kids locked up as sex offenders. I'm willing to bet that a not insignificant part of these are in there on statutory rape charges from fully consensual sex.

I'm as well aware of how law should be applied as you are, but I think that we can both agree that these ideals aren't always applied with sentencing by all judges.

I bet all the people supportive of these lists would change their tunes if they faced some bullshit charge that landed them on one of them, and consequently found themselves antagonised and fearing violence and death.

Your criminal record is a highly confidential thing. What other crimes plaster the details of it all over public sites? Again, you could have a child -murderer- living next door, but you wouldn't know about it, and people don't seem to be complaining about that. These lists are completely irrational, and while I can understand why some parents would be irrational about this, the law is meant to keep people from doing irrational things.

Amusing sidenote: Certain states actually require convicted sex offenders to pay an annual registration fee of upwards of $250 for the privilege of being on a sex offenders list.

Yes, bullshit charge like being convicted as a sex offender at 17 by having sex with a fifteen year old, as we've seen recently, or being convicted of rape because some woman you wound up in bed with changed her mind in the act.

The judicial system is not perfect, and you have to take that into account when measuring the consequences unlawful behaviour. If it's your opinion that people should be monitored for "fucking up kids", then please explain to me why murderers shouldn't be monitored. I'm fairly sure that most people would rather endure a rape than a murder. One leaves you with options, the other doesn't. Somehow murderers aren't seen as a threat on the same level. Irrational, illogical, and thoroughly irresponsible legislation.

Paedophiles have what you can call a genetic thing for children just as Homosexuals have a thing for their own gender and just like most boys and girls have a thing for the opposite gender.

For a paedophile its natural to try to have sex with minors because thats who they are ... a car theif, a robber even a rapist doesn't have these genetic needs so they can be reformed, not often sucessful but thats another discussion ...

So why bother putting paedophiles on a list, 1st offence should be jail for life since they will never ever be even close to being reformed ...

The law needs to use it's discretion in cases like that.  I'm talking about blatant paedophiles, the ones who touch up 10 year olds.

From research actually and from what we call beyond reasonable doubt ...

Research: I have no online sources for you but it is research on the issue ...

Beyond reasonable doubt: Almost all convicted paedophiles have more than just 1 offence on their record, and those with just 1 will get more convictions

Have you any sources that tells you different ? ... you must have seing as you so eagerly state otherwise.
