SB 384 does not mandate lifetime registration for lewd and lascivious conduct with a child under 14 years of age. Yet, inexplicably, such conduct with a child over 14 somehow does require automatic lifetime registration.

These bills reduce penalties against the worst of all sexual offenders; pedophiles who assault minors, particularly those under the age of 14.

If Newsom signs bill SB 145, a 19 year-old who rapes a 9 year old will not have to register as a sex offender.
