Guess the state!

Her MySpace says she's 19, divorced, and looking for no-strings sex.

Her 22-year-old lover is going to prison, because she's lying, she's actually 13.

Bonus: He's not the first guy to be fooled. And not the first to go to jail.

Guess the state!

So you'd be okay with getting rid of statutory rape laws and perhaps having a situation where a child molester, in his defense, says a minor consented to having sex with him/her?

And I'm okay with the sex offender registry. Sex offenders have high rates of recidivism. It's a good idea to keep track of them.

I didn't say I had a better solution, only that I don't like the current one.

And we're STILL not talking about consent, at all, here.

In principle, sure, I agree with you.

In practice, there are people on the registry who shouldn't be there, and being on the registry itself is a massively increased punishment that never, ever goes away - regardless of your recidivism, or lack thereof.

That sounds like an argument for reducing the number of crimes that would put you on the registry not for getting rid of the registry all together.
