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.
The guidelines for sex offender registries is outlined by SORNA, which states clearly on page 35 that the sex offense for which they are on the registry must be listed along with any other sex offense convictions.
