If you are a registered sex offender, you will almost never be able to leave that reputation behind. Even if you had consensual sex with your girlfriend/boyfriend that is a few years younger, some states do not allow that. On top of that, those 18, 19-year-olds end up as a registered sex offender. Is that fair? Well, I don’t think so.

Now, the situation of a sex offender getting murdered wasn’t from consensual sex of two teens. A 67-year-old who was trying to start a new life by moving to northern California was murdered; they’re saying he was killed because he was listed in the Megan’s Law database of registered sex offenders.

Michael Dodele, who was murdered the other day, let his past catch up to him. He was murdered by his neighbor, a 29-year-old construction worker with a young son.

Ending someone’s life from a mistake that happened in their past isn’t fair. Now the construction worker, in an act of a hate crime, shows his selfishness by messing up his life and he will probably lose custody of his son.

His hearing is arranged to be held in January.

So, basically if you ever get labeled as a sex offender, your life is over. There are no second chances for you and in some cases; it will end your life – literally.
