The Accidental Sex Offender - Marie Claire

A well-written, well-researched article containing plentiful statistics, both sides of the argument and completely lacking in contentious or judgemental tone. Quality journalism and absolutely not what I was expecting to read in r/mensrights when citing a publication aimed at women. Kudos for finding and posting it.

I wonder how much ethnicity played into Rodriguez's arrest and conviction. I know TX has a large latino population, but it's law enforcement and government aren't exactly well-known to be the most tolerant place in the U.S.

The not being able to vote thing really gets to me too. Even if you are a registered sex offender (and a legitimate one, not someone who as a teen had sex with their teen partner), you should be able to vote.

And this:

A young man in Maine named William Elliott, on the registry for sleeping with his 15-year-old girlfriend when he was 19, was murdered in 2006 by a vigilante. The killer had found Elliott's name on the registry and decided to go hunting for sex offenders before turning the gun on himself.

Jesus. WTF.

thinking it would help Frank, she told the cops the sex was consensual.

Once again folks. Never, never, never talk to the police. Without her statement, there would have been no evidence. Don't talk to the police. EVAR!

This is the problem with 'chopper moms'

They think they are right. They do what they are told is right. But they have no real world experience so they rarely understand the consequences of their actions

"I liked Frank from day one, but I wanted them to cool off."

So I called the cops.

This is why you stay the fuck away from the police.

She was 15, he was 19. Not so sympathetic.
