In many medieval societies, those found guilty of sex crimes – fornication, adultery, prostitution, etc. – would have their heads shaved as a mark of dishonor .
In 1384, the Common Council of London required those guilty of prostitution to live in a designated area. Any prostitute found guilty of living outside the designated area would be taken from prison in a striped hood, required to carrying a white wand, and accompanied by minstrels who would publicly proclaim her offence. Then she would be escorted back through the city to her designated area.

The California Penal Code criminalizes such intercourse, but also criminalizes oral sex, exposure of genitals, fondling, and other behaviors falling short of intercourse.
Under the expansive
provisions of the
Over time, Hitler expanded his net to include homosexuals, Jews, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the mentally retarded, Poles, Slavics, and others. Over time, Megan’s net has also widened. It would appear that Megan’s net is now wide enough to catch nearly the entire male population.
