"Depends on if they're a man or a woman." Is what I wanted to say, just to see people's reactions. But since I don't want to get into any trouble, I've got to be honest about this. It really only depends on how severe the crime was. Say if a 20 year old has completely consensual sex with a 17 year old, after his initial legal punishment maybe he could be forgiven over time since it's not really pedophilia. Or, like John said, people who happened to urinate where they weren't supposed to. The punishment should always fit the crime, and one has to make sure to not overdo it.
It's an interesting issue to raise, though. Women tend to get more lenient sentences for sexual offences. For example, a guy here in the UK received a six-year custodial sentence for manually stimulating a willing 15-year-old. Around the same time, a women who had managed to pass herself off as a man seduced several young teenage girls (in separate incidents) into bed (the youngest was 12 or 13), always insisting they do it in the dark and then using an artificial phallus of some description to penetrate them. She got three years.
At the same time, men who have experienced genuinely abusive predatory sexual behaviour from adult women often complain that they are not believed. It's almost as though society is intent upon superimposing it's narrative onto their stories. 10-year-old boy abused by a woman? He must have enjoyed it! 15-year-old girl engaging in willing sex with a man? He's a vile rapist!
That's true. It's really not such a big deal. If it were up to me, that really wouldn't be illegal. There would still be an age of consent, but there would be additional rules like some countries have that allow people just under it to have sex with people just a little over it.
Do sex offenders deserve a second chance?

Thats partly why I didn't pretend to be serious about the original statement. It's so true that it's not even a proper troll response...
I don't have much issue with a 20 year old and a 17 year old fucking anyways. The state I'm in the age of consent is 16
