I'd sure hat to live anywhere when the mistake of a 19 year old in love

with a 17 year old or something like that could be held against you for life

in a broad stroke. The term " Sex Offender " is SO broad it is also so heinous

that if you term a person as such the details are lost.

Case by case would make so much sense. As was said there are 8 or so cases

in Texas and that's in a pool of 50,000 certified folks.

I believe it was looked at on a case by case basis...... I dont think an

organization (TDH, the EMS service the sex offender works for) would have

such a liability.

There are many cases when people are in there teens (17&18) and dating a

younger person, depending on the age difference this can actually be

considered illegal in some situations. The young couple might have agreed to be

together.... no harm but the state/law doesn't agree, then someone is

convicted for being a sex offender. So from that point forward the person

will be categorized as a sex offender for the rest of their life.

You can find this is Texas. We have a certified EMT in the Panhandle

that is listed on the DPS site as a registered sex offender. I reported

it to our area contact. She checked and said the state level knew about

it and would not do anything about it. I was told that there are 8 or 9

registered sex offenders that have certifications in Texas.
