Teen Feels Snared In Sex Offender Law - Ricky

Can't you read? Why do you inject such nonsense??

Apparently you confuse my complete and total lack of sympathy for nonsense.  

The fact is he had sex with a 13 year old and her parents had enough of a problem with it to pursue charges with the DA.  (Check number one, did the family care enough to do something.) Then, as another professional with no sympathy, the DA decided to pursue charges.  (Check number two as to whether this should have proceeded.)  As far as I am concerned, due diligence was followed and he deserves what he got.   Whether or not the criminal feels that the punishment was deserved is moot.

You are right in your assumption that I don't have a daughter, but I do have a son.  I hope I can raise him better than to sleep with a 13 year old.

You are a moron.

You are a moron.

And that is the beautiful thing about the USA.  We are all entitled to our opinions.  


"Ricky was informed that the laws in Iowa had just changed and that the plea deal would include the requirement that he be registered as a sex offender for a period of 10 years.  He wept at this devastating news but decided to take the plea deal anyway to avoid the possibility of a long prison term."

You better do more than hope!  You best find an expert to teach him how to identify a manipulative underage female, if he comes across one, or tell him to do like I mentioned earlier, have a cop run her license to see if she's who she says she is!  The issue is that the boy had no clue the girl was 13!!  That is exactly what your son might encounter.  If you think otherwise, I'd say you are living in a bubble.  I have a son as well and I have learned a valuable lesson from this situation.

I'm glad to hear that your mind is open to the dangers to your children and might I add, to everyone's children.

"Going potty" in a back ally is a misdemeanor crime at both the state level and local level:

Tulsa ordinance Title 27 Section 500
State Statute Title 21 Chapter 2 Section 22

neither of which are on the list of crimes required to register as a sex offender.

In Tulsa, you are normally issued a citation with a mandatory court date, which usually results in a fine.

Apparently the high number of people currently on the sex offender registry for public urination were also charged with indecent exposure, due to the mechanics involved in urinating...
...and indecent exposure requires you register.

Indecent exposure and outraging public decency are two totally different crimes.

"Going potty in the ally" is outraging public decency, which is not a sex offender registration offense.

Purposely exposing yourself (the guy in the trench coat) at the mall (or where ever) will get you indecent exposure, which is a sex offender registry crime.

Guys on the sex offender registration for indecent exposure were 'flying the flag' so to speak.

Maybe not, but I have a friend who essentiall 'went potty' when he was younger, and was charged AND convicted with both crimes, hence he had to register.  They essentially said when they walked upon him and asked what he was doing, it startled him so he turned around, evidently getting the indecent exposure charge.

That's pretty thin if you ask me.

That's consistent with every case I have ever read or heard about.  The DA automatically charges taboo tinklers with the much heftier sex crimes charge.

It is a political position, anyway.

Mike NiFong is alive and well in every county, state and federal courthouse in the country. Especially in the legislature.  

They write punitive laws in the name of regulatory which endanger the very ones they profess to help.

It's my understanding that Fox here in Tulsa is going to do a follow up on this story called "Age of Consent" sometime towards the end of the month.

It's supposed to be on FOX23 tonight (Tuesday) at 9pm (or tomorrow at 3am if you are an insomniac).

(edit)
It's also on the website (but the big animated ad right next to it is somewhat distracting).
