Newsom signs bill to further protect child predators

I had no idea it was even like this for straights in California. This is unbelievable. What the hell is wrong with California??

Gov. Newsom signs controversial bill into law reducing penalties for sexual relations with minors

Even California Dems are alarmed:

“I cannot in my mind as a mother understand how sex between a 24-year-old and a 14-year-old could ever be consensual, how it could ever not be a registrable offense,” Democratic Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez said when the bill was being debated in the legislature. “We should never give up on this idea that children should be in no way subject to a predator.”

 

Not to be outdone…

Newsom Signs Bill That Removes Children from Parents Who Oppose Transgender Treatments

 

Yes, Newsom has expanded protections to 24 year olds who sexually abuse 14 year olds. Now LGBTQ+++++ is protected too! Yay Newsom!!!

Sick…….

 

Wiener is a liar. The bill gives judges latitude not to include offenders on the registry if the offender is not more than 10 years the senior of their victim. So now a judge has discretion on whether or not to include a 24 year old who has relations with a 14 year old. This protects child predators. This is abhorrent! Newsom is scum!

California governor signs bill changing sex offender law

 

There’s nothing to debate. It is what it is. If you support it, then you must think there are certain situations where it would be consensual between a 24 year old and 14 year old. I think that’s insane. Do judges in California not have discretion as to whether or not to include someone who does this on the offender registry list? Yes or no?

 

Who said it did? What it does is gives the judge discretion as to whether or not to put a person who is up to 10 years older than their victim on the registered offenders list. Newsom recently expanded that latitude to protect LGBTQ+ offenders. That is why you see several DEMOCRAT politicians in California sounding the alarm.

It is noteworthy that your side attempts to dismiss these facts with a straw man argument nobody is making.

 

No worries. Basically, LGBTQ+ advocates were complaining that if say a 22 yo male has anal relations with a 15 yo male, that the judge did not have the option of keeping the 22 yo gay male off of the offenders registry list, but if it had been a 22 yo male and a 15 yo female, said judge would have that option. Newsom signed a bill expanding that option to include anal and oral relations so that LGBTQ+ offenders can get that same consideration from the judge on not being on the registry list.

The obvious problem is why would a judge ever seek to shield any 22 yo who does that? Only in California. The bill also seems to assume that a 14 yo can somehow provide consent in a scenario like this, which is batshit crazy. Only in lovely California.

 

I’m not sure which bothers me more. The law as it’s written or certain people on the left attempting to deflect attention from the law and the change Newsom made.
