Even then, that would not prohibit an... View More

Do I have to register as a sex offender ?
answered on Jul 3, 2020
It means displaying obscene materials (like pornographic magazines) where minors could have access. The penalties are criminal - one year and up to a $1000 fine. It does not require registration from my initial review of the statute. But it is nevertheless a serious criminal charge.

Very bad idea for a number of reasons. Any contact of a sexual nature with a minor, particularly one under 16, certainly could lead to criminal charges. Even if the "flirtation" doesn't rise to the level of criminal behavior, an adult flirting with a minor more than 4 years younger... View More
