I missed that thread. I know that it’s often due to the girl’s family. Sometimes though it was indeed rape even though they were dating – but that still should be treated differently. Rape should be punished harshly even if it’s between boyfriend/girlfriend and a first time punishment should be enough (maybe in case of repeated rape charges they should also register for life)- but that is still very different than a pedophile. It simply is too indiscriminating.
I totally agree with you and CAR that it should be a different category/offense/charge for that.
[quote=CA renter]it’s a shame that people are having to deal with the registration requirements decades later when all they were doing was having normal, teenage relationships with their boyfriends/girlfriends.[/quote].
