To begin with, I am truly sorry, guy. This regulation wasn't intended for you! It was a regulation for sexual predators and also you were swept up within this ridculous disappointment of legal discrimination. This regulation initially(with well-meaning) was passed to safeguard sexually abused females and determine sexual predators. You had been a higher school-kid having a love by having an underclassman, duh, that never occurs, right? Obviously it will. Regulations was handed and never well crafted(just like a large amount of our regulations) and today young adults(MEN) are now being described and should enroll, for that remainder of the lifestyles, as sexual predators, Upsurd!!! It's a problematic regulation that requires changing. Some Claims will work with this. You might have an opportunity to down grade your standing but when you had been 18, you're deemed a grownup, to obtain expungement might be difficult. I'm for you personally(if that is any convenience) and I believe regulations must be ammended. Perhaps you could possibly be the vanguard to present regulation within the Texas Home to alter this regulation. So long as you did not drive oneself on her behalf also it was shared, I actually don't begin to see the predation, it had been an simple senior school love. Best of luck, my friend.
