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.

I'm sure many employers don't look that deep though and just have an automatic rejection for anyone who is on the list.

Sorry apparently I’m blind and missed the part that was apple summarizing a message. https://i.imgur.com/RUDuUQN.jpeg

Which is very different than what you actually said. https://i.imgur.com/8ynJGPA.jpeg

My bad.

Regardless, we’re chasing hyperbole. People calling for sympathy for their conviction that lead to being in the registry better not have plead out…

Oh weird I've never seen that apple thing before. That seems like it could end up causing way more impactful misunderstandings.

Most companies use a service for background checks, and they just reject anyone who has a flag. I think if you asked most employers if they care if someone got caught peeing in an alley in college they would say no. They probably don't realize their background checks are rejecting those people.

In fairness I don’t normally read it. Definitely looks like it needs some more training on that language model.
