Others have been put on the list for pissing on a garbage can at 2AM or college streaking. If you are on there for real rape (not statutory), pedophilla or other serious sex crimes... Screw you. You get what you deserve but not everything having to do with a swinging cod rises to the currently low bar.
Agreed. I knew someone who was convicted of statutory rape for an incident years that occurred years before he was charged even though the then-girl's parents testified on his behalf (their daughter had misled him on her age). I also personally knew a girl in college who brought her 14-year-old sister to visit for a weekend and took her to frat parties -- little sister would tell people she was a freshman (which she was) and let them assume she was in college (which she wasn't) and therefore legal. Sure enough, a guy I knew spent the night with her before finding out the whole story. We gave him a bunch of crap for it but the reality was that the girl instigated everything and the guy would have felt the full weight of the law if a zealous cop or prosecutor had found out.
