i to feel that mr.pineda should not have to register when he and the girl were the same age. i know mr. pineda and he is in no way a threat to the community or the people of coos county. but has been made to look like a monster thanks to people like larson and the coos county judicial system. good luck finding your men larson cause your gonna need it. u lowlife!

These guys need to register. Nearly 50% of inmates released will be re-convicted within 3 years of release. Only 6% of molesters get reconvicted. These types are smart and won't take the same chances once they have been caught. At our county jail, the most polite inmates are the molesters. Weasels that if left unwatched will return to the nest.

actually according to definition of 2nd degree which mr.pineda was accused of it had to be non consentual sex so unless someone actually knows the details maybe you shouldnt rush to say he shouldnt be on here. there may be a girl/woman out there he forced into sex who feels very different. funny how judgemental everyone here is.

Something needs to be done with our laws. But how do you change things? Some girls flat out lie that they told the boy no, just so they don't get into trouble. It's too bad there wasn't a fool-proof way to prove it. Yep, there's real rapes and child molesting, but then there is just meanness. Who's gonna tell the difference. If they are teens, maybe they shouldn't have to register, if they carry out the trait into adult hood, then register them. If a guy is over 18, he shouldn't have sex with someone younger, they should know better.
What is going on wrote on Aug 15, 2008 7:26 AM:
I work in a school and the girls are very sexually agressive, way beyond the point of being a tease. They all want a boy to love them and to have babies by the time they are 15 or 16 so they are giving it away!
What is going on in their homes to make them think this is the only way to get love?
Why are the parents pressing charges instead of making their daughters responsible for sexual behavior?
Why in the world are they allowing babies to keep babies, which then will make this cycle continue on forever!
I think the act of rape or child sexual abuse should be a reason for jail but consensual sex between teenagers is pushing it. This is a result of a (woman?) girl scorned and parents who don't want to take responsility for their failure.

I would like to share some information to those who are convicted sex offenders only because of the age of consent.
1. You are not alone!
2. You are not "low lifes" as refered to by Coos Bay Resident (who may actually be a low life him/herself!).
3. Register to vote!
4. Write to your representatives about this issue. Get your family and friends to write also.
Here are some links I found. One is about a young man in a similar situation and the other is about a change in the requirements to register as a sex offender. I believe you must file an appeal to do this. If anyone else have info to share, please do it. We can blame the police, judges, jailers, parole officers and the DA all we want but we are the ones who have the power to make this change!

SCARED, I agree with that last part of your comment.
Now, if your son's girlfriend gets emancipated, she shouldn't be able to turn around and try to get him in trouble, right? If she's emancipated, she's considered an 'adult'... Atleast I think this is all right...

Tom, nobody is 'whining'... They are simply stating what SHOULD be true. Myself included. So, it's okay for a 15 year old to date a 16 year old, a 16 year old to date a 17 year old, but that same couple can't be together once one of them turns 18?? That's messed up, and you know it.
To Tom wrote on Aug 13, 2008 8:35 PM:
I think you are missing the point. Do we really want to imprision our young for having sex? Calling consensual sex rape diminishes the severity of what rape is. It blurs the lines between consensual sex and rape. It confuses our teenagers, scares the public into feeling we need more law enforcement and teaches our young women that they have no responsibility for their choices.
I know many men and a few women who are respectable adults but admitted to having sex at age of 18 with another teenager, under the age of 18. By your definition, those over 18 would be rapists because they are adults. If that is true we have many rapists out there. What a sad and unfair label to put on someone who had consensual sex as a teenager!
This law needs to be changed. Consideration for the age difference need to be made.

I am the mother of an son who just turned 18 and has a 16 year old girlfriend. The mother of the girlfriend is very aware of what is going on and wants to have her daughter emancipated so the two can marry. We can't make our son understand that all he has to do is make the momma mad and his life is ruined forever. They think they are in love, and they're deaf to all advice. It is frustrating because it's consentual....even with the girls mother. But in the end, all it will take is for her mother to get mad and my son will be a sexual offender. Now is that fair? NO. Mother should have no say in it, they should be able to talk to the kids and get the story and have it handled. Our 13 year olds can get birth control and abortions without parental consent, why can't they say "yes, we had sex, because we both wanted it"?

To Get A Clue: this article states, "In 2003, second-degree sex abuse for sexual contact WITH A GIRL OF THE SAME AGE. BOTH WERE TEENAGERS AT THE TIME." Do you know Mr. Pineda? I don't either, but I still think only predatory sex offenders should have to register as such.

To those who don't know, which apparently includes "Samuel," our self professed "law enforcement professional," SEX ABUSE 2 consists of the following:
"A person commits the crime of sexual abuse in the second degree when that person subjects another person to sexual intercourse, deviate sexual intercourse or, except as provided in ORS 163.412 (medical treatment), penetration of the vagina, anus or penis with any object other than the penis or mouth of the actor AND THE VICTIM DOES NOT CONSENT THERETO." Sex Abuse 2 is a class C Felony.
"If the victim's lack of consent was due SOLELY to incapacity to consent by reason of being less than a specified age, it is a defense that the actor was less than three years older than the victim at the time of the alleged offense."
So it would appear Mr. Pineda was either having sex having sex at 17 or 18 with someone AT LEAST 3 years younger (13 or 14? or younger), OR IT WAS NOT CONSENTUAL regardless of her age.
Still want to defend him? Maybe Samuel needs to be added to the list if he does not see the problem here...

It happens all too often wrote on Aug 12, 2008 3:33 PM:
I personally know of a case where a 15 year old boy was charged with sexual abuse because when he was 9 years old, he and his 5-year-old sister showed each other what they had. The sister told a friend years later, and the boy was arrested and held for two weeks. Luckily charges were dropped, but if the boy had been convicted, he would have had to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. Oregon really needs to revise its sex offender laws.
TOM wrote on Aug 12, 2008 2:35 PM:
TO ALL OF YOU WHINNERS: If either one of these people are 18, and knows that the other is under 18, then the 18 year old should be in jail, male or female. Remember at 18 you ARE considered a adult. Why don't you people think once in a while BEFORE you get on a site like this and start whinning.
dave wrote on Aug 12, 2008 1:54 PM:
i know far too many guys that are now registered sex offenders because of girlfriends that get mad at them and say they are raped. that is just cruel punishment for these men. one of which, lives in california, they lived together, his girlfriend got mad and didnt want him there, so she called the cops and said he raped her, he is doing 23 years in prison right now, they had been together for 7 years, they were both teens when they moved in together, this is not the only guy she has done this too, she has done it to others, are you going to be her next victim? the courts need to major investigate the situations. if they are total strangers i can understand, but when they are mutal sexual partners, maybe just an assault charge would suffice, maybe the woman should be charged also.
JT wrote on Aug 12, 2008 12:39 PM:
I know Justin Williams. It says that he was convicted in 2003-when he was 18. I also know that he and another girl, presumably under 18 ( but close to) had a child together around that time. So why should he register as a sex "offender"? It was consentual, so what's the big deal. If someone is 18, and their 17 year old girlfriend (b/c we all know that no female 18 year old would have to register) is only a couple months younger, would he get in trouble if they had sex? It's just rediculous. They did nothing wrong!
C wrote on Aug 12, 2008 12:08 PM:
I agree with Trevor, also. One guy's life has been ruined because he did the same thing that the majority of teenagers do. There is something seriously wrong with that and it seems like this is more of a witch hunt than actually punishing true sex offenders. I'm curious as to why, if it were consensual underage sexual activity, the girl got away from this without a scrape and the poor guy is stuck with the label 'sex offender' for the rest of his life? It takes two to tango. And I'm a young woman so I'm certainly not trying to be biased.
Samuel wrote on Aug 12, 2008 10:58 AM:
You most are correct about certain things being made more than they ought to be. If a Teen is involved with another teen and they are both under the age of 18 years, they should not treated as criminals. Especially when it is consentual! Pretty soon they will attempt to make it a Sexual Offense if you look at a Girl for too long. What next??? God help you if you are human!!!!
moonpenny wrote on Aug 12, 2008 9:56 AM:
This is crazy. The only reason things have gone from statutory rape to illegal sex is for money. The courts ruin young peoples lives. I would like to see the laws repealed. I was in a panic when my son was a teenager. One would never know when some whacked out teen girl would accuse him of something he didnt do. Or the courts.
To Treavor wrote on Aug 11, 2008 5:35 PM:
Treavor,
I agree with you. With a little research you can see that there are a couple young men on this list that were teenagers and the crime had to do with the age of consent.
Now Andy Jackson wants us to support a tax levy to increase the jail size and fund SCINT. I say no! We need laws that make sense. We need elected officials who understand this.

It must be very disturbing for parents to think that there are so many sexual predators about. Fortunately there are far fewer real sex offenders-many of these people are in fact victims of a human rghts abuse that classes the downloading and viewing of inapropriate images (thoughtcrime),voyeuristic offences and consensual underage sex as "sex crimes" when in fact the legislators who have classed these innocents as predators are the ones who should be locked up or targeted for direct action!
So it is vitally important that all members of the public look into the details of ALL the men on this site, report the whearabouts of the genuine sexual predators, but help the sexual psuedo-criminals evade capture by a criminal state.
The same for facist drug law fugitives.

Lets Try Again wrote on Aug 8, 2008 2:24 PM:
Since the PERSON who edits these postings didn't like my previous comment, let's try again. Why should Mr.Pineda, have to register as a sex when they were both TEENAGERS at the time of this incident? To:HMMMM, he's hispanic and she is proably white. Better yet, why not make her register as a sex offender as well? The last time I checked there were 2(TWO) sex offenders livivng on the same block as a local elementry school. The Parole/Probation Dept. needs to keep these people away from the local schools.
beth wrote on Aug 8, 2008 12:07 PM:
I also disagree with classifying the first "offender" in the same category as the nasty old pervert next to him. How is it that a teenager who has sex with someone of the same age can get the rest of their life ruined, penalized just as much as some predator born in 1948 who has sex with a teenager (most likely non-consensual.) I think cases like that unfortunately discredit our justice system and sex offender program.

I would like to say that I know one of these people while we are not friends we are sociable when we see each other BUT I would like for you to know, this person was 18 and the female involved was like 16 or 17 and they were a couple then the parents found out they had sex and they turned him in. It was VERY CONSCENTED SEX!!! I do not see this person as a sex offender just one who didnt get to tell his story!!! Please dont judge unless you get the FULL story

Ok the first one states that they were BOTH teens - but was she 13 and him 18??? or what? I guess as parents if we would be a bit more involved with our children we would know what they were doing. What happened to rules and curfew?

It's sad that I can't take my kids to the park, grocery store or to a movie without worrying that the person next to me may be a predator. I agree with HMMMM, I think that there is really something wrong with making a teen who has contact with another teen register as a sex offender. That's incredibly sexist, you would never hear of a girl being arrested for having contact with a guy the same age.
