Meanwhile, this is OK in Georgia

Hit & Run Woman May Lose Her Home Because of Decade-Old Blowjob – Reason Magazine — So apparently the act of oral sex is a sex crime requiring sex offender registration. Again the effort to criminalize normal sexual behavior and categorize it as a sex crime is an attempt to trivialize real sex crimes like violent rape. Only a sick legislature will do this. None is worse than Georgia.

Wendy Whitaker, 29, has been on Georgia’s sex offender list for more than 12 years. Her crime? She performed oral sex on a high school classmate just after turning 17. The boy was just shy of his 16th birthday. Both were sophomores.

After the international uproar associated with the Genarlow Wilson case Wilson, you’ll remember, was convicted of a similar crime—having consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old while he was 17, Georgia’s legislature clarified state law to prevent these sorts of cases—what Whitaker did 12 years ago is no longer a crime in Georgia. But because some Georgia lawmakers stubbornly wanted to keep Wilson in jail, the legislature took a separate vote to keep the law from applying retroactively. Wilson and Whitaker are still convicted felons.

Whitaker is also involved in a second lawsuit—this one to keep her house. In 2006, she and her husband scoped out neighborhood surrounding the Harlem, Georgia home they eventually purchased to be sure they were in compliance with Georgia’s sex offender law at the time. That law prohibited offenders from living within 1,000 feet of any area where children congregate. Despite their efforts, local authorities ordered Whitaker and her husband to vacate shortly after they moved in. They had overlooked a nearby church, which was running an unadvertised daycare service.
