L-Rod, you don't that that he, being the adult in the situation, is fully capable of telling her she's too young for him?

i have a story too...

highschool dance, i'm 15. the boy i'm all hot for is dancing with some other girl. in tears, i throw myself into the arms of my power mechanix teacher for consolation. he takes me by the shoulders, and pushes both of his arms out straight. he wasn't being thoughtless or cold, but he knew there was nothing he couldn't do for me that time itself couldn't do.

Because the majority of people who commit "sex crimes" deserve that kind of stuff. People like LRod's jail pal got screwed by being on the unfortunate cusp of petulant society. It sucks, truly, But we can't change it around for a coupla honest Joes, no matter how democratic we are.

P-Jell,

I probably don't have to tell you that age has no bearing on who the agressor is in a sexual encounter.

I'll admit that a stiff dick has no conscience, but a wet pussy sometimes has no shame either.

When it gets down to it, it's a 'he said, she said' situation.

I'm not here to make judgments on anyone. Sorry, not my job.

It appears that in 1999 25% of the addresses on the registry in Michigan were incorrect.

Also, from Michigan, an 18 year old male mooned his school principal, was convicted of indecent exposure, and now has his name and address on the register for the next 25 years.

Damn!

If mooning is a sexual offense, they should put a sign up in my front yard.

Well I guess it's just a double-edged sword. No one wins on this one because everyone is right. IT's fair, and it's unfair. so what do we do. Meh. Deal with it, and make sure no one finds out the next time we decide to moon our asshole next door neighbor.

Yeah, and Tom Cruise is gonna tell Katie Holmes that she's too young for him?

Katie Holmes is an adult.

The 17-year-old girl who your cell mate took photos of was not an adult.

That's the difference.

as you know, doreen

adulthood is a blurred and wavy line

I'm not sure I've made it yet.

Post by **Doreen Peri** » July 26th, 2005, 4:20 pm

I'm not sure you have, either.

Post by **Glorious Amok** » July 26th, 2005, 4:55 pm

well, if we're not here to judge, then let's refrain from judging HER as well as HIM. you can't judge one without the other.

Earlier this year, I got a phone call, a recorded message that said in a very dramatic tone..."did you know there are 30 sex offenders that live in your neighborhood! To find out more, pay 20 dollars and ......."
Damn I was pissed. What if Stella had answered the phone? And besides, they wanted 20 dollars for information that was free! Most of all, as a victim of sex abuse myself as a kid, it was momentarily tramatizing to get that call.
Needless to say, I called the better business bureau and the state attorney general, told them that calls like that were totally wrong, insensitive and retramatizing to those who haven't received help to heal. They went to work immediately and stopped that scam and they thanked me for making it known to them.

On the other hand, a sex offender is a sex offender. They often re-offend, so how does society deal with it?
This is a huge problem. As a society, we are pretty much sex offensive I think, among other things. We give out a muddled message....
I think sex offenders once caught should wear warnings.
For their own lame sake.
Too often, they get away with it and you know it.
Information is power.
It doesn't mean that we have to judge, or be afraid all the time, expecting the worst, but being informed is about the only defense I can see that we have.....

interesting thread....

PS...Lrod, your story about the guy and the drug whore....well, he shoulda been perfectly capable of avoiding that one, that's his own damn fault. Tell me, why would any real man want to take advantage of the vulnerability of a 17 year old drug whore? I don't care if she seemed like she was 40! It's not okay. He knew the rules, he knew she was 17 and into drugs and he used her addiction to get off!
What an asshole! a monster really. He deserved what he got. Thing about it, is that too many get away with it, so it seems harsh punishment for the one that got caught?
It isn't harsh. What he did man, was harsh. And weak. It's got to stop......

I agree, hest.... it's got to stop! No doubt about that!

But so does theft and murder and assault and vandalism and on and on.

All of these crimes have high recidivist rates. Many criminals commit similar crimes repeatedly.

Why don't murderers have to register?

Is a past sex offense more threatening than a past murder?

Why don't theives have to register?

Do people have the right to know that a person who has been convicted of murder is living in their neighborhood?

Do they have a right to know that the man down the street was convicted of selling drugs to high school kids?

Do they have the right to know that some dude on the next block spent 5 years in prison for stealing cars?

If you're going to make it so conviction of one specific crime results in lifelong branding, it doesn't make much sense.

Sure, a sex offense is a heinous crime and as a person who has been raped two different times, I certainly want to see rapes STOP! I have also known a child whose life was damaged serverely as a result of sexual child abuse. As you know, I always speak out about these type of crimes and would like to see them STOP!

But if a murderer is convicted, serves his time in prison and is released back into society and doesn't have to register with the state, reporting his whereabouts with that information released to the general public, well, I don't think a sex offender should have to either.

There are laws. If you break a law, there are penalties. But if the penalty has been paid, the penalty has been paid. I don't think it's right to make a person pay for the rest of their lives.... (unless the verdict was life in prison.)

Where do you draw the line?

I live right on the Canada, U.S border, and just
last week in the local supermarket I spotted a
guy in produce jerkin himself as he stared at this
young mother with her young child. I yelled HEY!
He just parked it back in his levis' and moved on.
Hindsight says I should have confronted him more
agressively. Like, perhaps he was one of those
pesky registered perves.
