I understand your point of view, but your bill does not allow the judge to deal with exceptional cases. Everything is automatic, neither the judge nor counsel can say that, despite there having been sexual contact, there is no reason to list the person's name in the Sex Offender Registry. We are not talking about the same thing. You are talking about consensual sexual relations between an adolescent girl and an 18-year-old boy, whereas I am talking about conviction of sexual contact without any possibility for the judge to give his opinion as to the listing of the person's name in the Sex Offender Registry.
