There are already places in the U.S. where a person can be made to register as a sex offender for offenses in which nothing sexual (or even loosely sexual such as indecent exposure) occurred. Many crimes against children will come with an automatic sex offender status, most commonly murder and abduction, though depending on the area more are included.

An example a PO friend of mine told me about went like this: A man and woman got divorced and both wanted custody of their 14 year old daughter. The daughter wanted to live with the mother, but the courts found in favor of the father. Not willing to accept the ruling, the mother called her daughter and told her to pack her stuff, because she's coming to get her. The daughter did so and drove off with her mother to live with her, an hour away. This woman now has to register as a sex offender because she abducted a child, despite there clearly being no sexual motive/intent.
