Jailbait in Beaumont

In a cover story this week called "Jailbait," the Beaumont Examiner contemplates how easily a young man might unwittingly become a sex offender in an era when some 14-year old girls look like college-age hotties, and what it means if he does.

The article highlights the work of an new Texas group called "Save Our TexSons" that's taking on an important but truly taboo topic: they were formed to criticize Texas statutory rape laws and the application of lifetime sex offender registration to consensual sexual acts between youths.
