<<Obviously your not talking about such people when you say that sex offenders should be locked up for life without any parole. >> We had a case a few years back where a farm boy had been to a party in town. Nice kid but liked a few beers. At 1am he's headed home and his bladder is at full and growing. No one awake so he parks his car and waters some shrubs in town before doing the 10 mile drive home. There had been some break ins in the area and a cruising squad car caught him leaking on the lilacs. He got a public exposing himself and as I recall 5 years on the pervert list.

Tim, I am talking about the types that kill, maim, or mentally damage their victims. Some of the people you mentioned may be a bit deviate, but have no desire to cause physical, or mental, damage. Those need to be punished, but not to the degree of the others. There is also something that is often not considered, but I have seen it happen to a friend of mine. He was enticed by a girl that looked like an adult, and said she was 21, and did what any red blooded man would do. Then the sh** hit the fan. She hollered rape, had him arrested, and tried to sue him for everything he had. In that case, I consider the girl to be the predator. Some of the other instances that you mentioned, were consensual, and IMO both people should be held in violation of the law, but if no one was hurt, and neither one of them complained, no crime was committed.
