Subject: RE: Registered Sex Offender should not apply here? berlinsd - 2008-11-06 1:12 PM Wow. This is extreme and falls outside the scope of the intent of the law. The military judicial system does not require indecent exposure offenders to register as sex offenders. It only requires folks who do an offense against another person. Someone who indecently exposes himself to a child would have to register however. Not too long ago, the Georgia Supreme Court struck overturned a felony child molestation conviction for an 18 y/o boy who had sexual relations with his 16-17 y/o girlfriend. I don't recall the exact ages but it was something like that. The Georgia court recognized that it was abuse of the legislature's intent. I remember this one. The problem was that the girlfriend fellated the boyfriend, instead of actually having sex with him. Intercourse would have been fine under GA's "Romeo & Juliet" law but, because he got a hummer, it was a sexual offense against a minor; even though they both admitted it was mutual consent. The moral of the story is not to have your buddies in the hotel room videotaping it.
