In Michigan, if you are convicted of kidnapping someone under the age of 18, you get placed on the registry, even without any sexual conduct. Even worse in his case is that he was convicted before Michigan had a registry. He is hoping that the State revamps its law to comply with the ruling in Does v Snyder which bars retroactive changes in the registry law. However, for now, he is living under those rules, and branded a pedophile. Makes it difficult to respect authority when they treat you so unfairly.

Georgia crossed this issue about 10 years ago, give or take. Don’t remember all the details, but the argument was that the registry should be limited to actual sex offenses and the state supreme court pretty much shrugged and said something like “we can’t require the legislature have a perfect system.”

They just want the registry to be as big as possible. Before too long, the registry will include anyone that’s ever had sex at any point in their lives.
