A California bill that would remove a requirement for offenders to register as a sex offender after committing certain sex acts with minors within a 10-year age difference is set to go to Gov. Gavin Newsom's desk after passing in both legislative houses.
The bill, SB 145, applies in cases where the victim is between the ages of 14 and 17 and aims to lift an existing registration requirement for oral and anal sex. The state senate and assembly both voted to approve the bill on Tuesday despite Republican opposition in the Senate and bipartisan opposition in the assembly.
"If signed into law, a 24-year-old could have sexual relations with a 15-year-old child without being required to register as a sex offender," Senate Republican Leader Shannon Grove tweeted Tuesday.
State Senator Scott Wiener, who introduced the bill, claims it is meant to treat LGBT offenders the same as heterosexual offenders, as there is already a similar exemption from mandatory registration for vaginal intercourse between partners of a similar age difference.
That’s rubber stamped
ReplyDeleteUnreal.
ReplyDeleteDisgusting. I don't know what else to say.
ReplyDeleteThis is some sick sh*t.
ReplyDeleteI want to know why this is okay in straight scenarios already in CA or anywhere in America for that matter. It's wrong in all circumstances and should be illegal everywhere. What the heck is wrong with people in this country?!?!
