On the bright side. If he is found guilty and gets sent to prison he won't be lonely very long.

I'm the root of all that is evil, yeah, but you can call me cookie.
Thats the odd thing about rape cases. They are VERY emotionally charged.
Women want men hanged when accused, no court case, jail them based on the accusation.
Men are sympathtic because of how easy it is to accuse someone of rape.
Women will feel that any evidence at all is enough, while men want comprehensive evidence.
If you tell a woman that you don't want to judge, you are a rapist sympathizer.
It is an ugly subject, and generally neither side will agree on how these cases should be handled. And before the rage, the above does not represent everyone, it is only referring to the obvious stereotypes. If that doesn't apply to you, then it isn't about you.

Did you know that, in America, you can urinate in public and become a registered sex offender? Kind of makes the term meaningless, doesn't it?
Quit ignoring the point that people are getting at: Your view of the world is skewed. You think that people get locked up and never let out for these crimes and you are 100% wrong.

For all you know, Billy is a sex offender who never got caught. Or Billy is a potential sex offender who has yet to strike.
People can be reformed. Just because someone did something wrong once, doesn't 100% of the time mean they will offend again.
If we viewed criminals as doomed to repeat for life, we should do away with prison altogether and just euthanize anyone who commits any crime.

It depends on the context. In some cases reform is fine, but in others? Do you really want a serial rapist out on the streets again? Interacting with your 2 young daughters?

It means that for now the boy has done nothing and is still innocent. You know. Until proven guilty.
The girl could have tricked him or he could indeed have assaulted her. You could wait for an actual trial. At this point the father is being a good parent and saying just about anything to "prove" his son is innocent. Whether it makes sense or not.
For now, nothing happened, but the police investigates (I'm sure)

Serial means repeat offender. If someone did something one time, they aren't yet a serial offender.
Repeat offender tend to get longer sentences each time they offend. With that in mind, I do feel tgere should be much harsher setences for repeat offenders of sexual assualt.

Feel free to pull up some names of people who are registered sex offenders due to peeing in public. I'll wait.
An 18 year old who has sex with a 17 year old "can" be tried as a sex offender.

The sex offender registry is wrong, imo. I think crimes should be punished with the appropriate sentence, and then the criminal should be forgiven and be allowed to rejoin society. I understand that pedophiles, for example, likely cannot be cured. The solution to that is initial sentencing, not a life of being a second class citizen. In addition, the registry doesn't really work, in any way. All it does is make people scared of their neighbors. Furthermore, as other posters have pointed out, not everyone on the registry is a pedophile. There is little evidence to show that standard rapists cannot be cured, like pedophiles. In my opinion, the registry is cruel and unusual punishment, and should be challenged in the SCOTUS.

I doubt that is true in any state. Most states don't have the age of consent set that high, and most states allow for situations like a college freshman continuing to date his high school senior girlfriend, etc. They set the offense birthday marker above 18. In my state it's 16 and 20.
