Re: Consent?
Another trap is teenage sexuality. Sexting can get you listed on this register -- it doesn't always happen, it depends on where you live, but it can so its a significant risk. Once listed as a sex offender you're never going to get unlisted. Once you're listed you're subject to all sorts of onerous restrictions about where you live with frequent re-registration and criminal sanctions if you miss a deadline. You're also unlikely to find work since the register is public.
We really like to have people to tar and feather over here. Its a cultural thing.
