by user JMK444 Megan’s Law began the current era of police and online sex offender registries...and overall that’s been a good thing. The idea, however, much like the “three strikes you’re out” legislation has been misused and by some, in a cynically deliberate way, in order to undermine support for such policies. Instead of a general “sex offender registry,” there should be only a pedophile registry. The idea of a nineteen year old boy charged with “statutory rape” being listed along side pederasts, is not only disturbing, but grossly unfair. __NOEDITSECTION__
