Girls look much older & many of them are having sex & the parents need somebody to blame. They don't want to face the fact their little darling has been doing it for quite awhile. Yet these same parent will let their daughters out all hours & dress like they are hookers.
I think the basic idea of Megan's law is good for high risk offenders. But I think if you repeat the crime you need to do the time. But for the boy who was tricked by a girl who tells him she is 18 & looks it but is 15 yrs old ..I don't think its fair his whole life is ruined. These guys can't get jobs & their lives are ruined . Yet these girls never have to face anything for lying.
Now towns are making laws so sex offenders can't live in them. I don't want to live next to one but where are they supposed to live? If you are a repeat sex offender you belong in jail. If that is what it takes to stop you then if you have to be jailed for life then so be it IMHO.
I know sadly from my own experience that it is usually friends , family members & people you trust that will molest.
At the rate they keep reclassifying crimes as "sex offenses" it won't be long before they have to build schools out in the middle of the prairie because that's the only place where they can be far enough away from the legions of newly-minted sex offenders.
