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.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Just because all draft picks are a gamble doesn't mean you don't have a better chance at hitting on a better player the higher you're drafting. It would literally be like someone saying, I'll give you 1 or 2 free spins on a slot machine, and you say you'll take the 1 because you're not likely to win anything anyways with 1 or 2, so why bother? The Cowboys desperately wanted T-Mac, but because they were 4 picks behind us, they weren't able to get him.  If you told Cowboys fans that had they lost 2 more games last year in a lost season, that it would get them the player they wanted so badly, would they in retrospect go back and lose those games to get their guy? 95% of them would take that trade off in a heartbeat, and the others who wouldn't are the fans who would rather enjoy an extra win or two in a poo season to then set themselves up to be better for the next decade. I also think the fans who argue against this thinking, get too caught up in the "well that means you're going to be rooting against us late in the season even if we still have a shot at the playoffs." Which isn't true, it's saying if you're telling me right now we'd make the playoffs but lose in the first round, that I'd rather end up 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss the playoffs because in our opinion, the benefits that come along with that outweigh the benefit of the players getting 1 game of playoff experience.

      In relation to tanking. I think you can count on one hand the number of people here who actually want us to lose football games. When accounting for it across the fanbase it amounts to maybe 2% of the entire Panthers fanbase. But you engage with some internet trolls and think haters are coming out of the woodwork and hey look at that it's all a conspiracy that leads to Bryce Young haters. Do you hear yourself sir? If it sounds ridiculous that's because it is. I mean at this point do you see Bryce haters in your dreams? As far as the culture of this franchise goes we seem to be doing better in that department via what we are building right now and with the people we have in place. But we also shouldn't just make assumptions just yet either. The rubber still needs to meet the road. And going back to previous seasons I think we can acknowledge although tanking obviously isn't a thing there were some times where we thought our culture was improving but really it wasn't. Yes I'm looking directly at some of those wins under Wilks. If the culture had truly changed we would not have lost to the Steelers who have been mediocre for years at home the way we did and they were starting Mitch Trubisky ffs. We did not change our culture for the better and we won games that ultimately meant nothing. It was just a brief mirage. We've done this for years now. The harsh truth of the matter is the Panthers have not had a winning season or been to the playoffs in going on 8 years but in those years they've been trying to convince themselves they aren't poo but in the process all they've done throughout most of that time period is squander better draft position and we were still the worst team in the league for our troubles. At the end of the day we should be able to just be adults and reconcile with that. And no that isn't being "pro tank" or any other boogeyman term it's simply recognizing reality.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      He's an asset in a game manager role. But as soon as you have to ask him to go out there and try to make plays and not just take what the defense is giving him... well, Darnolding happens.
