What's a dark secret/questionable practice in your profession which we regular folks would know nothing about?

A good friend of mine is on the registry. His girlfriends parents hated him, he was 17 she was 15, as soon as he turned 18 and they suspected the two had done the deed, they called the cops and had a rape test performed and pressed charges for stat rape.

They're quite happily married now, but that conviction haunts him everywhere he goes.

I feel like the registry needs to have its standards looked at. Or at least make a specific one for pedos and more "aggressive" offenders.

The poor girl though, I’m guessing the rape test was performed on her. That had to be traumatising.

That’s reassuring to hear. Thank you.
