Say your boyfriend is a sex offender, would you have his back when the **** hits the fan or leave him to dry. By the way u love him to. Can love overcome a criminal.

When you say have his back what do you mean. Do you mean would i stay with him? or do you mean would I defend his honor?This is one of those questions where you dont really know what you would do until the time comes, but a sex offender is not a good thing never the less sex offenders just like drug addicts, alcoholics, murderers, etc. can be helped and the world should not turn their back on a person because they made a mistake regardless of what that mistake is. Now if they continue to commit the crime or if they are in denial about what they are then that is a different story altogether.

I don't think I could be down with that. That's kind of extreme, especially being a girl. Love makes it hard to leave a person though. And I do think love can overcome a criminal. It's easy to say that you would leave the person, but if you love them it is easier said than done. I mean look at all the criminals who have wives, girlfriends, even the ones in jail, someone loves them. I would have to be in the situation to really know what I would do. Everyone tends to think of child molestors when you say "sex offender" but it is a very broad category. It could mean something like exposing yourself to a woman, not necessarily a violent crime. I mean, if he was drunk, didn't control himself & tried to force himself on a girl, but he didn't go through with it ... if he got help & didn't drink excessively anymore I think I could forgive him. I personally believe that people can change if they want to ...

No way a sex offender is one of the lowest scums in society and in prison they are ranked the lowest in the heirachy although it isn't made known publicly. They probably get picked on all the time in prison, much less society and their EX-girlfriends. A sex offender doesn't respect woman, so of course his girlfriend would dump his sorry *** and go look for a better one she deserves. Love cannot overcome a crime that undermines the respect of a person that makes up half of the relationship.

True love can overlook just about anything but a sex offender is just about as low as they come.
I would say you should have the back of your "man" irregardless, but you will really have to check your own morals and values if you want to continue a relatioship with this person IF he has been proven guilty. Accusing someone doesnt mean they did it.
Me personally- i couldnt do it. Traffic tickets, DWI, even possession of a weapon I can forgive... but anything that has to do with harm to another has no respect in my eyes

F*ck that!!!! I don't have anything to do with any type of criminal ( unless the criminal act took place many many years ago and they've completely turned their life around since the incident and really made something of themselves). Life is too hard already than to have to put up with another person's bullcrap! (There's everyday regular bullcrap and then there's completely ridiculous and unnecessary bullcrap, and being a criminal is ridiculous and unnecessary bullcrap)

If I knew anyone who was a sex offender, I'd rather see them tarred and feathered than spend another second with them. They make me sick.
