I read the article and I sure hope there is more to this than what it contains.

A recently enacted law allows county prosecutors, the state attorney general, or, as a last resort, alleged victims to ask judges to civilly declare someone to be a sex offender even when there has been no criminal verdict or successful lawsuit.

If I understand it right someone can have a grudge against you and claim to be a victim without having to prove it thereby putting you on the sex offender list. Once you are on the list you can petition the court to remove your name after six years.
I just don't get it. For what possible reason do our polititians want to do this? Why would we want to put innocent people on a sex offender list. If all we have to do is to ask a judge to declare someone guilty, why even have a court system? From what I have read there are some borderline crazy judges, prosecutors and attorney generals out there.
There simply has to be more to this, nobody (including our polititians) would agree to something so ridiculous. Can you imagine all the false accusations that will be made?
