Subtle familiar story but still relevant for larger discussion

There seemed to be a consensus among the detectives and the DA's office that Chris was guilty of misdemeanor sexual assault, but that also both he and Abby showed poor judgment and that Chris was not a violent offender or a sexual predator and didn't belong on the sex offender registry. Yet in most states being convicted of sexual misconduct or sexual abuse requires a person to be put on the sex offender registry for a minimum of 20 years. The debate over whether a person guilty of a minor sex offense belongs on the registry along with violent sexual predators happens frequently in real life, which is why as of September, 2020 a few states have passed legislation that gives judges discretion as to whether or not a defendant is required to register as a sex offender for certain sex crimes, and other states are looking at drafting similar legislation. One example being California's bill SB-145, which gives judges discretion as to whether a defendant is required to register as a sex offender instead of requiring registry based solely on the sex act performed.
