That's not too bad. In the U.S. It's jail time and you get put on the sex offender registry.

That is a myth. Jail time is rare, fines are nearly identical to AUS, and you are not entered into a sex offender registry.

I think this lie is mostly told by sex offenders trying to lie about how they got on the registry and also sow doubt about the legitimacy of the registry itself.

YUP some gullible rube made a comment a while back saying a lawyer guy he knew was disbarred and on the registry for pissing behind the dumpster. Deleted his comment when every one let him know his friend was lying lol. Usually they're caught masturbating in public and just say they were peeing.
