Yes a lot must depend on the quality of the original lawyers

I simply don't know what the legal situation is in America,in England and Wales(not Scotland) the defence of "I thought, /she/he said, that were older" may be accepted from those under 24 years of age without a previous sexual conviction,the Police and CPS(Crown prosecution service) often use this as an excuse for not bringing prosecutions ,which might in fact succeed,at the urging of wrathfull parents.The courts have ruled,in accordance with the European convention of human rights, that "Romeo and Juliet" offenders must now be excluded from registration.
There is now in this country a great reluctance to bring charges of underage sex against young people and so brand them as sexual offenders.This appears to be shared by some American authorities,but others pursue them with a persecutory,often religious zeal,so the matter of whether young peole end up on registers and websites is very arbitrary.
Was he 18 at the time of the offence or 17? that may have been a vital detail.
Plainly as notoriously with capital punishment(eg it was never even sought with O J Simpson) the quality of the legal defence that can be afforded is a crucial factor here.The Black Romeo ,or the Romeo from "the wrong side of the tracks" is much more likely to be pilloried than the Romeo from the vanilla suburb.
But why o why is this young man registered on a public register at all?why is his young life being so blighted?with likely danger to his family as well as him?
Is he now going to go and rape and murder a 7 year old?so why is he subject to what is called "Megan's" law?
The campaigners for "Megan's" law and the Politicians must be confronted with this ,and the numerous similar cases?

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.
