There is no hell

... Yes: hysteria. I worked with a sex offender. He was 20, he was drunk, and he took a whiz in some shrubbery.

I think you're leaving out an integral part of your story. How many children were hanging around that shrubbery while the offender was "whizzing?"

Sex offender registries are notoriously lax on entry requirements

No, he’s likely not.

One of the greatest injustices of the sex offender registration system is that it lumps together public urination offenses (not at all related to intentional perverted indecent exposure) and Romeo offenses (boyfriend 18 has de facto if not de jure consensual intercourse with girlfriend 15) with active pedophiles who are guilty of raping prepubescent children. The majority of the public isn’t educated on the tier distinctions and don’t familiarize themselves with public record information about their neighbor’s offense history - so decent people’s lives are destroyed and they become a long term burden on the state.

At least one guy was convicted of indecent exposure to a minor.

He took a whiz on the side of the road witb his 2 year old sleeping in the car.

A nurse midwife acquaintence in the NW has paid for 30+ years for being cited for skinny-dipping with a group of friends at a remote location. Apparently being voluntarily naked with a group of naked people should be punished forever.
