Controversial cases involving sex offenses have sparked public debate concerning the appropriateness of certain sex offender laws and their applications. These controversies have sometimes involved sex offender registries (WP), associational restrictions prohibiting those convicted of certain sex offenses from seeing their families or associating with minors, and residency restrictions banning them from living near schools. Sometimes they have involved minors who engaged in Wikipedia:sexting with other minors. Prosecutors typically argue that the restrictions are necessary in order to protect the rights of the public, especially vulnerable children.[9]
Matthew Freeman[edit]
Matthew Freeman was convicted of having sex with a high school girlfriend who was one year below the legal age of consent (WP). He has been accused of living 326 feet from a school, in violation of the court order requiring him to live no closer than 1,000 feet from a school. Freeman commented that he had no criminal intentions with reference to the school: "I’m outside sweating hard, playing basketball, working on my drills. I ain’t looking at no kids."[10]
