High school student Corey Walgren committed suicide just after he was told he might be put on the sex offender list, for recording the audio of having sex with another student.

It is wrong to record sex with someone else who has not consented to the recording. But it shouldn't carry a penalty of lifetime loneliness, homelessness and unemployment, which is what the sex offender list does
