It's tragic that the boy took his life. I have to imagine
there were other variables in play and this incident was
the tipping point. But it's ridiculous that doing something
like this would put someone especially a fifteen year old
someone on a list with sex offenders. The baby is being
thrown out with the bath water.

I don't consider myself an exhibitionist at all but I've had
sex outside(multiple times, multiple places) and in semi public places.
I've also been naked and half naked in places that would be
deemed public.

Sad to think that some of life's innocent pleasures like skinny
dipping in a lake, having sex in the backseat of a car at a
drive in (yes they still exist) or at the designated lovers lane,
pulling over during a road trip to blow or get blown, mooning,
streaking and taking a piss outside are now considered hanging
offenses.

Don't want to get charged for violating indecency statutes and risk the chance of being put on sex-offender lists? Don't whip out your junk in public. It's pretty simple.

The laws may indeed suck, but you have to take responsibility for your own actions.


There's nothing sexual about simple nudity. That's definitely cruel and unusual punishment. It does not fit the crime. As bad as cutting off a hand for stealing a loaf of bread. Yes, a community has every right to decide that nudity should not be allowed, but that doesn't mean this is okay.

When we finished, the homeless guy who'd been trying to sleep there lit up a cigarette. Wow did we bust out laughing.

Why would you assume that? Kinky doesn't equal exhibitionist.


No, but the thrill of the risk of getting caught without actually getting caught isn't exhibitionism, and it's way more common than the stuff we do, and just like the stuff we do, people will keep pushing the edge and pushing the edge.

Of course, this doesn't really have anything to do with OP, which was just a stupid prank. I'd much rather see people get punished harshly for what I just described than for a stupid streaking prank, although I wouldn't like to see either one. If someone's caught having sex by a child in public, it would actually be damaging, which is the entire point, but no child is going to be harmed by streaking. It's taking restrictions that exist for good reasons to a silly extreme.

He had very little chance of actually being put on the sex offenders list according to the article. When I was in residence at university, streaking got you a talking to from your RA. This kid was ARRESTED.

Well, maybe some of that, but when the chick is on top, it doesn't look much like a rape, either.

Why do some people make a big deal out of non-sexual nudity? It's one thing to say it's not okay in public and set up reasonable measures to deter it, if that's the cultural standard like it is in most of the USA, but the pearl-clutching and fainting over it are ridiculous.

I was in some potentially serious trouble in my early 20s and not once did suicide ever cross my mind.

I do think that urinating in public should not equal sex offender.

I have had sex outdoors.

The sex offender list is the sex offender list. People don't care about distinctions and subcategories of the list.
