I don't know. Probably.

In general though the extremely punitive and draconian nature of sex offender registries in this country is an underdiscussed problem with our legal system, for some good reasons--nobody wants to be seen to take the side of pedophiles and DV perpetrators. But it's a one-size-fits-all status that almost irretrievably ruins your life and in at least some states is imposed on people who've committed innocuous (in less prurient parts of the world) crimes like streaking and public urination just as it is on your archetypal creepy priest or unkempt gym teacher. We don't need to go easier on rapists and pedophilies--quite the contrary--but we do need to start making much clearer legal and cultural distinctions between more and less dangerous offenders.
