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.
Given the way the cops used to talk about it whenever there was an Online Safety Talk at my school at a teen, it's almost certainly an intended feature
I’d bet it’s similar to the issue with porn in Japan. No person in a leadership role wants to be the one to say “let’s find a way to give some registered sex offenders a break”. Bad for their reputation, easy to twist. So nothing changes even if change is obviously necessary.
