Oopsy. No, it wouldn't. But I thought we were referring to the registries as a whole. Not just those accused of forcible offenses.

That's pedophilia and while it may not have been predatory, it's still an infant and that needs to be treated as pedophilia. When we have people who 'sexually assaulted' an under 18 victim and place them on this same registry as actual pedophiles it creates the problem we have now. People hear sex offender and automatically assume pedophile. There has to be distinctions.

This is not necessarily a non-predatory situation. Pedophiles will commonly enter into relationships with women in order to get to their children. Sounds crazy but it's true. And, I'm not going overboard because I happen to have read
Lolita, lol. Which is actually a pretty apt piece of fiction in examining the mindset we are talking about.
I'm glad to see you say that, because I can't stand her, either.
