Thats probably the point. The judges no doubt want us to just repeal all sex offender laws by having them mistakenly applied to situations that dont make any sense.

Judges write the laws?
This isn’t a case of them ‘legislating from the bench,’ it’s a case of them applying dumb one size fits all laws, created by politicians who want to run as ‘tough on crime.’
Most of them don’t read the laws the vote for, or understand them.
The article leaves out all the 17/18 year old boys who are ‘sex offenders’ for the crime of having 15 or 16 year old girlfriends.
Overall a sad situation!
I know this won’t make me popular with the Socon crowd, or maybe it will - I lay a lot of it on the fact that sex is used to sell everything in our culture, in conflict with the puritanical message that sex is dirty and bad.
