    Well yeah, a decent chunk of them might be out of a job…maybe the Epstein files could shed some more light that.

    Seeing how easy it is to land on the sex offender list (e.g. public peeing at night near a school) I have to say I agree. Plus if you have done a crimr received your just punishment it should not affect your future job chances, else the justice system is not working.

      I don’t think conviction with any crime should bar you from office, because that incentivizes the party in power to find ways to convict its opponents.

        Yeah obviously, but banning people from offices because we are unable to resocialize them properly is not the fix I think we should be seeking.

    How could that ever pass? It seems most of the whole usa government are sex offenders but they now own the means of never getting charged and therefore never getting called a “sex offender”.
