What is a sex offender, exactly? A rapist is a sex offender, of course. But what about a 17 year old girl who has oral sex with a boy who is about to turn 16? Is she a sex offender? Should she be required - for the rest of her life - to live 1000 feet away from anywhere children might congregate?
Well, in Georgia, the answer is yes. As Glenn Reynolds writes, "this is just pathetic."
Hysterical fear of teenage sex,
Passed into law, probably wrecks
More lives than the acts themselves.
Welcome to legal definition hell.
