You might be surprised at how many 18 year old sex offenders there are. Actually, you might be surprised at how many childrena and adolescents have the label "juvenile sex offender." It is an alarmingly high number and growing...(I used to work with a few of these kids). One of the many reasons I have little tolerance for sex offenders, but Megan's law gives a false sense of security and little actual protection. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2005/mar/28/ If, as a condition of liberty, these offenders are required to register and aren’t doing so, perhaps the system is already broken.

I've never heard that sex offenders generally get out of prison and go straight to college. And how many 18 year old sex offenders are there, anyway?

The media has attempted to get similar legislation passed here in the UK (dubbed "Sarah's Law", after <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Payne" rel="nofollow">Sarah Payne</a>) but thankfully it hasn't been given serious consideration by the government yet. I can only hope that the government doesn't bow to mob pressure and pass it but they probably will :( Hear hear.
