Not bold enough for my taste, but still a massive step in the right direction. Glad I voted for Snyder.

to allow those young offenders currently on the registry to be taken off if a court determined the sex was consensual.

I just realized this, how can it be consensual if a minor is by definition not able to give consent to sex?

Explain this to me, you are a 17 year old girl and you can have sex with your 17 year old boyfriend, but as soon as he turns 18, you are no longer capable to give consent to sex?

Not only should they not be on the sex offender registry, they shouldn't be criminalized in the first place. A 4 year window is exactly what they need to protect teens from being persecuted by overzealous prosecutors simply for hooking up with their peers.
