after a quick search of NY, Calif, and Michicgan laws, I do not see any place that has you register for Indecent Exposure
Well, Iowa at least has registration for Indecent Exposure, but there (as in most places) it's only if the purpose of the exposure was for the sexual gratification of either party. Whether I trust prosecutors and juries to apply that standard fairly or accurately is up in the air, but yeah the actual risk of being tagged for such an action is probably largely overblown (and I just contributed to that).
As far as stat-rape goes, there are quite a few states where the age of consent laws do not take into account the difference in age and thus an 18-year-old could actually find themselves in trouble for having a 17-year-old girlfriend. In some of these the sentence will be lighter, but I believe the offender will still have to register.
I wonder what the general response would be if they decided to combine Sex Offender Registration line with the Rape Crisis Services line...
Well, there's a difference between being related and being processed by the same agency. I doubt that the Sheriff's Department runs the Rape Crisis Services.
Though I'd agree that perhaps a more vague sign might be an idea.
