Would it be a bad move to date someone who is supposedly a registered sex offender?

Thanks… It just is bothersome to even consider that a 16 year old is ALREADY a sex offender… He doesn’t even act like a creeper, which makes it even more unsettling…What does being a sex offender entail, exactly? Is it the same as rape?

You don’t have to be a creeper to be a sex offender. It can be as simple as having sex with someone a lot younger than you (the parents of the girl found out & pressed charges) or having naked pictures of your girlfriend. Theres many reasons that have nothing to do with actually being a rapist/creeper.

You won’t find record of a minor as a sex offender.

Talk to him about it. There are many reasons that a guy could be registered as a sex offender. And honestly…. It’s highly unlikely that he is if he’s a minor. Not everything that people say is true. Rumors happen, your friends may not be trying to lie to you but it may not be true. Keep your eyes open and your guard up with everyone until you know the truth.

So what did he do? Molest a 9 year old when he was 12?

He apparently posted inappropriate pictures on twitter without someone else’s permission.

Kort if there is anything people stereotype is the words “Sex Offender”. They immediately picture guys attacking small children in gangways, etc. But that label is wide spread and far from limited to them. Find out the facts first, not the hearsay. If he is registered, find out for yourself the details. If he is registered the details are available.

It would be risky, even if he swears he has changed. Those personality traits never fully go away.
