It's very reliant on the reason they're registered as a sex offender. There's a massive difference between "I got drunk and got caught urinating on a lamppost," and, say, "I went to a party and raped an unconscious woman behind a dumpster." And even then, for the sake of whether a second chance should be a possibility, there's a distinction to be made between rape, exhibitionism, sex in a public place when there was no intent of exposure to the general public... There's just too much to lump it all together. Having said all that, though, rape is pretty much at the top of the "no second chances" list. If a person decides it's cool to forcibly ldehumanize another human being for their own sexual needs, then they don't deserve another go at not being a human garbage bag.
