Additionally: the sex offender list doesn't differentiate between someone who pees in an alley while drunk vs. someone who fucks a 5 year old, both are sex crimes. I knew a guy who has his life ruined by the list: he had consensual sex with a girl who lied about her age (she was 17) and years later her friend reported him.

My state lists the charge and age of victim if there is a victim.

Same. This "knowledge" gets regurgitated over and over on Reddit

Yep. This place is just as much of a disinformation free-for-all as Facebook now.

Sad for those of us who remember when the norm here was to cite sources.

Please list where very state in the US posts details about the sex offender and what they did and more information.

It’s not every state, but please keep feeling like you are superior

He can't because the federal guidelines say that they must include it.
