Would you date a sex offender?

[RatRolyPoly]

...if the offense was nothing whatsoever to do with children? But was against a female victim, they definitely did it (pleaded guilty, no mitigating factors, no scope for confusion of misunderstanding etc.) and they are on the sex offenders' register.

And no, I'm not considering dating a sex offender, definitely NOT, that's not the capacity in which I'm asking. Although I do have a specific individual in mind when I ask, hence my being semi-specific about the circumstances.

Thanks!

Fuck no. Never. Under any circumstances.

No

No.

Noo

Never in a million years

Of course not.

No never

No

Seriously? Who the fuck would

No

Nope

I wouldn’t even be an aquaintance of one, let alone date one

No.

Absolute deal-breaker.

No.

I wouldn't date anyone with a criminal record.

OMG, can’t believe you even need to ask, particularly as you know all the details and he’s admitted it.

No

Literally, flat out, no? I'm not surprised, don't get me wrong, I just think there must be people out there who would and who do and I wonder what sort of considerations they're making... you know, like if they think they specific offence matters or - oh god knows - but whatever they might be thinking I'm curious! So for argument's sake, say the guy is relatively young (early thirties), if that in any way matters.

Honestly, I'm absolutely not considering it, that's so SO not the capacity in which I'm asking - really!

What is your interest here ?

I'm the female victim.

I married one 😧 I knew all about it, thought it was probably fine (was young and idealistic etc)

And how has it panned out WhyDid, if you don't mind me asking?

I think there are people who can justify all manner of things to themselves, especially if they only find out when they’re ‘in’ and committed in some way.

But there are loads of people I’d say a flat No to - men who have children from a previous relationship they don’t see; men who are racist; men who used to be women; men who are not as intelligent as me, The List goes on.

But a sex offender with no mitigating circumstances and no chance of misunderstanding- how COULD you justify that?

Sorry it was you, Rat

I really don't know NoSquirrels, but being as young as he is I can't see he'll go through the rest of his life alone; someone's going to bite that cherry... I'm interested to know what sort of person that is. Young and idealistic seems likely...
