Many of those that are required to register as sex offenders have been convicted of a misdemeanor...Sexual Misconduct...which often does not have anything to do with a minor as many people think. Sexual Misconduct even includes pissing in a public place where you may or may not have been exposed to the public. In my opinion they have gone overboard on requiring those convicted of Sexual Misconduct to register for life. BTW...moving to another state does not relieve one of having to register for this conviction.
A person that I know was convicted of pissing in an alley behind a bar...at night...when a cop spotted him. He was convicted of Sexual Misconduct and was shocked to learn that he would have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. He moved out of state only to learn the hard way that he was required to register in the new state. He notified California that he no longer resided in California and made the mistake of informing them of his new address. After some period of time he was arrested for not registering in the new state. The judge did not give him jail time but informed his that if he failed to register he would not be lenient the next time.
