You do realize that most states put you on that list for something as simple as urinating in public.

I'm in IL, in our state the registry has a picture, basic physical features info and also the crime - and even with a big radius I don't see anyone listed under public indecency.

I think it's rare to be committed as a sex offender for peeing in public. It does happen though, I'm not doubting that at all, but I always wonder if there is more to the story in that kind of situation. Like if your drunk peeing behind a restaurant garbage bin at like 2 in the morning, that's one thing - but if you're drunk and you're peeing in broad daylight where anyone, including kids, can see you, that's another thing -

And how is either one of them a sex offense?

youre exposing your genitals

Think its Kosher to whip your junk out infront a kid or in public park?
 Quoting: Texas Twister


There's a difference between incidental and right in their face. Boys and girls learn each other's anatomy easily from the internet, or in health class. Can someone explain to me how this is a big deal? It's not nice, but "not nice" isn't the reason we define certain things as felonies, is it? We all know about rape trauma. Is there evidence that having someone expose their genitals to you can cause significant ongoing trauma? Serious question.

That said, I was on a jury where the state of Florida was trying to give a life sentence to a guy who had allegedly exposed himself intentionally to four or five young children. (Life sentence because it would have been a third strike.)

The case wasn't proved (actually it was very unlikely that he did it) and I could confidently vote not-guilty. We all did and he was acquitted. I didn't have to decide whether to think of nullifying the jury because the penalty was unjust.
