There was a huge sexting scandal somewhere across town down hear the bay a couple years back and a girl was convicted of distributing underage porn of herself and was placed on the sexual offenders register. I actually wrote a letter to Rick Perry requesting that measures be taken to have her criminal record erased and her name expunged from the register.

Sex offender registers should be reserved for those people who might be a likely threat to their communities. Teenage sexters are no threat, and many convicted of statutory rape are no threat.

Making sexters into registered sex offenders does not make the world a better place and makes no one safer. And the natural risks inherent in sexting are enough of a deterrent.

Let the kids take their chances, have their fun, and suffer the natural consequences when things go wrong.
