I disagree with the changes you have made to the definition. User4 (talk) 23:58, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

What is there to disagree with that is basically the legal definition?--Etenne

"A sex offense is a sexual act or type of conduct frequently considered obscene that have been legislated to be illegal."

1) A sex offense does not have to be a sexual act.
2) It is clumsy and very poor English to refer to a sex offense as "a type of conduct".
3) "Frequently considered" does not indicate either the frequency or by whom it is considered.
4) "Obscene" is a moral evaluation, and the definition varies.
5) The phrase, "...that have been legislated to be..." is very poor English.
