SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A 22-year-old Californian man who received oral sex from a sixteen-year-old girl should not be forced to register for life as a sex offender, the California Supreme Court ruled on Monday.

The state's top court found that California denied Vincent Hofsheier equal protection under the law because those having intercourse in such circumstances would not be forced to register as lifetime sex offenders.

Hofsheier appealed after being ordered to register his name on the list, which is shared with the public and carries significant stigma.

"Requiring mandatory lifetime registration of all persons who, like defendant here, were convicted of voluntary oral copulation with a minor of the age of 16 or 17, but not of someone convicted of voluntary sexual intercourse with a minor of the same age, violates the equal protection clauses of the federal and state Constitutions," the court ruled.

Hmmm...I don't know how I feel about that. Just because she did it doesn't mean she wanted to or wasn't forced. I don't know though - seeing how some of the 16 year olds around here act...

I'm torn.

Finally finished with immigration in 2012!

The decision says:

"Requiring mandatory lifetime registration of all persons who, like defendant here, were convicted of voluntary oral copulation with a minor of the age of 16 or 17..."

The court believes it was voluntary. Assuming that is true, the ruling seems fair. JMHO of course.

that age difference....leads ME to believe it was voluntary I think. Half the girls at this high school look and act 22 - and mess around with men that age ALL THE TIME - completely voluntarily.

If it was voluntary - i agree with you - fair.

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

I don't think the legality of the act is in question. I believe the ruling was focused on the very narrow question of whether the 22 year old man should have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. Fact is, had he had vaginal intercourse with the same girl, he would not.

16????? Are you kidding me??!!! The things 16-year olds do today, oral sex would be

the least of my worries. If she was 12 or 13, I'd support the court's decision, but a

16-year-old giving head to a 22-year old? Gimme a break.
