SportsFanLive's Jenna Laine has the exclusive. It seems that Washington, now 24, is a registered sex offender in Texas, and according to Laine's sources, it's because he was convicted in May 2003 of having consensual sex with his 15-year-old sister. It's a sad story. A former coach says Washington comes from a "dysfunctional" home and that he "skipped a phase, so to speak, in his emotional development.

I think making somebody into a registered sex offender for having sex with their sister who is 2 year thier junior pretty harsh. Incest is pretty nasty but I don't see him as a threat to society. I wouldn't make the dude put a sign in his yard.

After seeing he's from Texas it's makes a lot more sense, I'm suprised they didn't give him the chair.

I actually agree with SouthNarolina. Don't get me wrong, incest is gross, but having consensual sex as a teenager with a younger sister less than two years younger than him shouldn't lump him with rapists and child molesters imo. The sex offender tag will stick with him for the rest of his life. Hell, the article said that he and his sister are on good terms (hopefully not too good, though) and talk often.

I agree that you shouldn't automatically be lumped in with those types for this, but there is a chance that his sister could be lying about it to protect him, so it should be determined on a case-by-case basis, which hopefully it was...

^That law was used in Law & Order: SVU once.

That's possible, since it is pretty common in these type of cases. However, based on the more in-depth article about this case, I shall give this guy the benefit of the doubt until evidence otherwise shows up.

You can't be serious.

Since it was consensual and they were only two years apart then yeah I find it pretty harsh. It sure is nasty but putting a tag on somebody that essentially ruins their life is pretty harsh. Every once in a while you read about a few confused siblings doing something like this, it's not abusive. Probably has some psychological ramifications but not the same kind that stems from abuse. But being that this happened in texas I'm not suprised.

I consider a sex offender somebody that I would feel is at a danger of hurting someone or sexually abusing them. I don't feel like he poses that risk.

If it's incest between a parent and child then I think that's appropriate. But, two kids who were admittedly from a messed up home don't deserve that kind of punishment. That kind of action needs therapy not a criminal charge.

Ditto. It's gross, but it's not anything as vicious as a rapist.

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
