Duh on the sex offender registry thing. Obviously if a 21 year old dude gets labeled a sex offender for life when he gets caught with his 16 year old girlfriend and can't get a decent job because every business he applies to Googles his name and it pops up as a registered sex offender and he can't get decent housing because landlords in "good" areas won't rent to him so he ends up unemployed and living in the ghetto surrounded by criminals what the fuck else is he supposed to do to eat except commit crimes?
And, it's not preventive at all because 21 year olds and 16 year olds have been falling in love with each other since the dawn of time and young people in love don't give a shit about the law.
