Thanks to propaganda TV shows like “Law & Order SVU”, sexual offenses are considered violent in the eyes of most of the population. They don’t think of age of consent issues or teen sexting or ‘mooning’ your former school principal that you hated. The word “offense” really just means you offended the law that says you’re not allowed to do that. It doesn’t mean “violence”. But most sex laws carry the word “assault” in their titles so that makes it SOUND violent.
I asked my prosecutor if my offense is considered a violent crime and he said “No.”

Indeed, sex offenders have the lowest recidivism (re-offense) rate of any crime type, except for murder. (Presumably, this is because most murderers murder exactly once.)

Here is an official report by the United States Department of Justice – Bureau of Justice Statistics that clearly proves this. https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/rsorsp9yfu0514.pdf

Also, there have been numerous state and university studies that show the same results: sex offenders almost never re-offend. Over 95% of sex crimes in the US each year are committed by people who have never before been convicted of a sex crime!

Why should people who have the lowest re-offense rates be singled out?
In Florida, last year, ALL felons regained the right to vote except for sex offenders.

The monster hysteria continues.
