It would depend on what the nature of his offense was.
Consider the poor SOB who is 17 and is charged with consensual statutory rape of his 15 year old girlfriend by an unhappy father. While it is not “right” it is orders of magnitude different than some 40 year old guy forcibly raping that same 15 year old.

Know of a situation where that happened. A girl that my daughter graduated with. When the mother found out her precious daughter was sleeping with her boyfriend she got a restraining order. The daughter would sneak out and meet the boyfriend. She of course got pregnant. The mother had him arrested and charged with statutory rape. He was convicted. He’s now a registered sex offender. The darling little daughter who couldn’t/wouldn’t keep her knees together was sainted because she kept her baby and graduated from high school. No punishment ever for her for violating the restraining order.
Ruined his life at the age of 18.
Most people assume that “registered sex offender” means they rape 5 year olds.
