This is fairly disturbing stuff how the federal government forces the states into compliance with the federal standard:
"Recently passed federal law defines sex offenders to include juveniles 14 and over who are, or who have ever been, convicted or adjudicated for consensual sexual contact with another juvenile who is under 13, or who is more than 4 years younger than themselves. In order for states to receive full federal funding for law enforcement efforts, they are required to do the following to all such juveniles, as well as those convicted or adjudicated for non-consensual sexual behavior:
* include them in a new national public registry of sex offenders
* require them to produce a DNA sample
* subject them to electronic monitoring for the duration of their supervised release
* include them on the public registry and monitor them electronically for the rest of their lives if the violation is/was a second offense or if the other juvenile or victim is/was under 12.
Under threat of losing funding, most states are currently working to bring their laws into complicance with these provisions."

In other words, youths guilty of normal sexual curiousity, experimentation, and motivated by hormones during puberty are being punished the rest of their lives if caught doing what their parents, grandparents, and great grandparents (and everyone else's around the world) have been doing for millenia. And because statutory rape laws don't factor in consensual sexual acts and simply ask the question, 'did the sex act occur?' mundane school-aged relationships most everyone's had can now be classified sex crimes and result in kids being labelled sex offenders and placed onto state and federal sex offender registries for the rest of their lives. And all just for doing something science says all pubescent children do. In effect, we've criminalised biology.
"In the larger Kinsey sample, only 57 percent of adult males and 48 percent of adult females reported memories of childhood sex play, usually between the ages of 8 to 13 (Kinsey et al. 1948, 1953). It would seem possible, then, that studies with adult samples recalling their childhood experiences might well yield lower estimates than studies of children themselves."

Modern federal law would now criminalise the behaviours above making everyone who engages in 'sex play' as their parents or grandparents did lifelong sex offenders on some registry. That's not right.
As an aside, I strongly encourage everyone to read the
"Interpersonal Heterosexual Behaviors" section at above link, as well as the same section for various other countries to see how other countries and cultures approach the subject, as well as to learn everyone develops these behaviours around the same time, so what sense is there to make it illegal?
Making normal psychosexual development illegal paints the picture that we're slapping the hands away from children exploring their own bodies and making everything they may do with one another illegal insome kind of dystopic moralistic version of "1984." 'Sex isn't only bad, but illegal and against the State.'
