    isn’t she on the list for not disclosing her having HIV to a sexual partner?

    not sure it makes sense to group her with pedos but seems like it would be a sexual crime

    racism and bigotry could totally be the cause for a miscarriage of justice in a he said she said kinda thing but the article presumes her innocence

      The article says that, he-said-she-said aside, she was undetectable for HIV back when changes were pressed against her. Assuming that’s true, she wouldn’t have been able to spread HIV anyway.

      But even if she was completely guilty, how does that make her a potential threat who must be kept away from kids? Seems very much like a case where the punishment doesn’t fit the crime.

        There’s a ton of shit you can do to land you on the sex offender registry that has nothing to do with children. Two consenting adults having sex in their car at Makeout Point can land you on the list, public nudity can land you on the list, being HIV positive can land you on the list.

        The “tough on crime” proponents always brush these complaints off a pedo-apology, but they can’t explain why non-child-related crimes should put you on the pedo list.
