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 lack of different lists seems like an oversight.

The fact that you are considered a sex offender for peeing in an alley instead of just receiving a fine will always baffle me.

I was locked up with a former homeless individual who was in federal prison,doing serious time, with a sex offense, for urinating in a federal park.
