Is it all _child_ sex offenders, or sex offenders in general? I've seen some legal cases that might be of interest. One, a guy molested his retarded step-children, ages 4 and 6. He's registered as a "sex offender." In another, a 19-year old sailor got terribly drunk and had a 17-year old girl (who had lied about her age) in his barracks room. He did a lot less time, but is also registered as a "sex offender." While I can't cite a specific example, I seem to recall a similar story where a just-over-18 guy was caught by the just-under-18 girl's dad, who sent him to prison for stat-rape. ...And when he got out, he married the girl.

So while one is about the most disgusting crop of scum you could hope to find, the other is really just a normal guy who screwed up, no? The guy who's listed as "other offense" may not have been anything serious -- he may be married to the girl he "raped," with several happy children.

Just my $.02....
