I saw another story about a boy who was 18 and convicted of 3 different types of sex crimes when he got caught having oral sex with his 16 year old girlfriend in the backseat of a car. He has to register for life and the new law would require his family to move. (he lives with his parents now). They have lived in their house for 32 years or something like that. I guess this is what happens when our elected officials try to fix something without thinking about it. I wonder how many of them ever got lucky in the backseat....I guess none of them.
The politicians are reacting to public hysteria. They need to get a grip. I'm sure there are many more stories like the one you talked about and we haven't heard them. Yet. If the press gets bored, they'll swing the hysteria in the other direction.
