Most important part of that link

If the situations mentioned above involved anal sex, oral sex, or digital penetration more typical among the LGBT individualsa judge would not have discretion over the young adults registration as a sex offender. Rather, the registration would be automatic, even in the case of a 19-year-old and a 17-year-old having non-vaginal sex.

This has been a thing for awhile, I remember arguing with someone about it like a year ago. Right wingers twisted shit to sound way worse than it is, labeling it a "pedo law" right out of the gate

Yeah but seeing the other parts of the law, even in the reuters articles, they admit that there are cases where a over 14 year old can engage in sexual intercourse with a 24 year old. Unless I'm totally missing a crucial subsection here.

And yes, judges do get discretion but we all know how fucked up some judgements can get.
