The Daily Background

This is pretty ridiculous. From the UK:

A man has been placed on the sex offenders’ register after being caught trying to have sex with a bicycle.

Robert Stewart was discovered in his room by two cleaners at the Aberley House Hostel in Ayr, south west Scotland, in October last year.
[…]
Both witnesses, who were extremely shocked, notified the hotel manager, who in turn alerted the police.

Mr Stewart was placed on the sex offenders’ register but his sentence was deferred until next month.

Okay, obviously that’s just really weird. But the guy was doing it in private, and wasn’t hurting anybody, and I’m sure the bicycle didn’t mind so it was consensual. Sure, the poor guy has a weird fetish, but it should hardly be illegal. Why is he being put on the same list as rapists and child molesters? This hardly seems fair.
