I find this fundamentally wrong. I do think the pastor needs to be informed a convicted sex offender is attending the church
This whole article sort of disturbs me because they are seemingly taking a very complex issue and putting it into a very rigid system for the sake of garnering votes
Is the penalty the same for an 18 year old getting too frisky with a very mature 13 year old (unknown to him) and a 38 year old taking advantage of a 14 year old because she is looking for love in all the wrong places?
No way you can tell from this article
The first guy needs to have his ass kicked for being stupid, the second guy needs to be shot.
Pandering for votes on the back of a serious issue like child sex abuse reeks of demagoguery
You sure know how to spoil a good witch hunt!
That's my problem with these laws too.
We want to put authentic pedophiles away forever (or, as I'd prefer, put them to death). But we need to be clear on who is and isn't an offender, and the degree of their offenses.
A serial rapist of five year-olds is different than someone like, for example, Deborah Lafave. I'd like to see the former, as I've said, put to death, but I could care less about the latter (save that I wouldn't turn down an evening with her).
