The issue of registered sex offenders has become a witch hunt with hundreds of thousands of Americans as the victims. Some deserve it (child rapists, serial predators, etc.) but there are many, many people listed on the registries who have been falsely accused or who have committed a sex "offense" which many people don't believe should be registerable (peeing behind a tree, underage sex, mooning, etc.)
Many of these hundreds of thousands of sex offenders have families (wives, husbands, children, parents, siblings, friends) who are also being villified, harassed and made to fear for their lives. This is not right and is a direct violation of their due process and civil rights. Yet nobody seems to care. Yes, I am one of those family members and I fear for my life daily. (He was falsely accused of rape 20 years ago, and no, I will not abandon him!)
