They are not a Sex Offender until they are found guilty in a court of law...being charged with something is not a pronouncement of guilt.
If the state laws are such that the charge results in a conviction and it is one of the listable sex crimes, then yes, the convicted individual will be labeled a sex offender. That all depends on the laws, statutes and ordinances of the municipality the crime was commited in and were the conviction was handed down.

How "minor" grew to become into the minor? the truthfully a protracted time are significant. If a 21 12 months previous had consensual intercourse with a fifteen 12 months previous, which would be statutory rape, no longer infant molestation. Molestation, as you state, implies loss of consent. even however, sure, decrease than the regulation, one in each and every of those individual is a sexual predator.

No! Merely being charged does NOT attach sex offender status.
Remember, it's innocent until proven guilty; not the other way around.

yes they would and they would have to be placed on the sex offender register ,,,,you need to do everything to keep kids safe,,its bad when even the people you know ,who are the closed can be the cause of such terrible offences ,but this is normally the case ,,
some offenders are placed and homed in buildings where there are other offenders ,others are just allowed home ,but even if not convicted thet still are kept on a register in case other offences come to light at a later date

Only if they are found guilty in a court of law! Being charged is not the same thing as being convicted

If they are/were convicted, maybe. It would depend on the state. If they were convicted before registration & public notification was required, they would still not be on any sex offender list.

Being 'charged' and being found guilty are different I think. If guilty, yes no matter what state IMO they are to be "registered sex offenders".

I would think so. Most States did enact real tough, which I think is a good thing, new Sexual Predator laws on Jan 01 2007. It would also depend on what State.

Only if they are CONVICTED of the charges.
Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

The particular offenses that require registration vary from state to state. To check on your state go to http://www.meganslaw.org and click on Megan's Law by State and then select your state.
