Sex offender registries can encourage vigilante justice.

I agree with you 100%, but unfortuantely lawmakers are not likely to lower the gae of consent, so the best we can hope for is for consensual sexual crimes to be exempt from sex offender registries.
It really does sound stupid when I say it, if its consensual, wheres the crime, but hey, this is the society we live in, and if you ask for too much off the bat, you'll get snubbed. baby steps.
