since it seems the chems used in this can have long-term negative side effects.

You make it sound like the sex crimes don't have long-term negative side effects to the victims.

If you disrespect the autonomy of another rational agent, your own autonomy to subject to ignorance.

You make it sound like no one is ever wrongly convicted.

"Sorry you were found guilty by mistake and that those chems we made you take screwed up your health. But hey, you're not dead, right?"

What's it take to be considered a sex offender there? There should be a distinction made before pushing the law forward. I'm all for a guy who fucks a kid receiving that punishment, but not a guy who gets caught pissing in a parking lot.

Yeah, the repeat offenders part I can understand, but for a first-time thing... someone could be innocent in these situations. As described in the OP it's way too vague of a criteria for me to comment on.

Seems like we have about the same issue as people have with the death penalty. No going back if the person was innocent.

Personally, I think I'd rather get the death penalty. Sure we have the built in survival instinct, but the rest of me says I might rather get the death penalty.

Holy shit. I'm agreeing with you. Shoot me now.

vagueness and blanket statements too often get in the way of justice, as does over-emotional responses.

This is my obviously fucked up attitude on these sorts of issues:

Even the most abhorrent criminals have rights.
