There is a reason they call California the home of ‘fruits and nuts’ and the recent CA Supreme Court Decision excluding oral sex with minors from being a sexual assault type charge is a good example:

On Wednesday, the California Supreme Court voted 6 to 1 to not force those convicted of having oral sex with underage kids to register as sex offenders with the state. The majority judges said that the law was “too harsh and unfair.”

My heart goes out to the few sane people left in California, most notably my family members out there. The state seems hell bent on protecting criminals, even if it scars a few children for life.

Major Update:

Clarice Feldmen points out the perpetrators were slightly over the legal age.  If we are talking oral sex between an 18 year old and 15 year old, then I do NOT see a reason to brand that person as a sex offender.  People get branded with that for ridiculous reasons too many times now. The law is being misused to tag marginal situations as if they were equivalent to a true sexual predator.

I also have a problem with this from the original WND article:

In World War II, girls who slept with the Nazis in the occupied territories had their heads shaved upon liberation to identify them as weak, dangerous and even traitors to the homelands. In 2006, the sex-offender registration is a poor substitute for identifying the degenerates among us, yet it is the best system we have.

The shaving of heads simply because someone slept with a Nazi is over the top as well.  Who knows what the situation was?  Was it forced?  Was the Nazi an unwilling partner? Simple minded justice is not something I am ready to embrace.
