The age of consent in the United States varies by each state. The legal age in 27 states is 16, the same age it is to get a drivers license.

The consent age in the United States is 18. Weman almost always recieve kess severe sentences for like crimes of Males. Yes Her Conduct as One in a position of Authority New this was wrong. She May not desurve 40 years. Which Is not what she will actually recieve. But, She should recieve the same amount of to any Male would Period.

Exactly. And this is the reason why draconian laws and restrictions based on emotion, usually with factual evidence to the contrary, continue to be passed. Politicians know these laws make no difference, they are using them to get or stay elected and to keep the money spigot open. The more corrupt politicians may even run a charity related to the subject to fleece the public even more.

This is not unique to SORNA, there are numerous laws at the local, State, and Federal level empirical evidence shows doesn’t make a measurable difference (in some cases have the opposite effect) yet politicians keep using these topics to get elected because voters are emotional about them. Gun, drug, and minimum wage laws come to mind just to name a few.

It is now, always has been, and always will be about the power and money. Those who get hurt along the way are inconsequential. The only relief provided is by the courts and to be honest, they are a disappointing group when taken as a whole.

John S. You said (in part) “Sadly, it will probably take more people ensnared into the labyrinthine traps of current SO laws before the structure comes crashing down…”

I agree with you, and I also believe that this is exactly why we must all stick together.

Those registrants with lighter charges like peeing by the side of the road, sexting, Romeo-Juliet, and even CP (non violent stuff) must refuse to be exonerated as long as even one of us suffers under this oppression.

The politicos of this country are not stupid. They realize that by paring down our numbers, they cost us our voice. They cost us our strength to enact change and to help restore respect for the US Constitution which guarantees liberty for all and calls these right inalienable.

We have been alienated from many of our constitutional rights. Our strengths are UNITY and sheer NUMBERS.

I, for one, hope our numbers don’t erode through meaningless concessions.
