A 26-year-old college student on federal disability, Whitaker doesn't fit most people's image of a sex offender. But, because of an ill-considered 10th-grade xxx -- resulting in her conviction for an act that's no longer crime in Georgia -- she has spent nearly a decade on Georgia's sex-offender registry.

I post the same question awhile ago but this detial is differnet now

why

Answer 1

Yes, I've read The Scarlett Letter. It is true that the overriding culture defines the morals and that those morals write the law. This was the case in the Scarlett Letter. Remember, the society described also perpetrated the Salem Witch Trails, fictionalized in "The Crucible" a play by Arthur Miller. The theme in both of these works is that culture should not determine morality, especially if something is only immoral, if discovered or denounced.

Although somewhat comparable, a registered sex offender listing reflects the child centric culture of our time. It is a law enacted primarily for the protection of children. Women have been raped for years without this type of outcry.

As to your details, the sex offender laws really need to be more specific on degree of "deviant." Without exactly stating the crime, it might be possible to be a misdemeanor sex offender. I would suggest the case you refer to be brought to the attention of the ACLU. This organization might provide free legal counsel to get this issue cleared as a constitutional question.

Sex offenses can be horrendous. Sexual abuse of children can haunt their past and future forever, so it is not the tendency of the public to have sympathy for the "haunting" of the abuser. That is why I suggest that there me be a necessity of degree or level as with murder.

Answer 2

The fact that you post your question tells me you see a comparing element, and I think in some ways you are right.

The Scarlet Letter is supposed to be a relate of a situation in Pilgrim New England - yet the morals established then carry on in mainstream culture. Why do we judge our presidents more by their sex conduct (that should belong to private life exclusively) than by their political savy? Why some States still carry in their laws outdated rules?

From the point of view of the article you refer to, if the law has been amended, so should the list of sex offenders. It is clear to me that the list means to protect children from abusers, but perhaps the letter of the law is not clear enough.
