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 00:02, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
"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.
  • 6) "that have been" does not agree with "a sex offense".

  • Furthermore, from Wikipedia:
"A sex crime is a crime of a sexual nature.

I would still argue that that is a circular definition which says nothing. The page you are citing is a disambiguation page and not a definition --Etenne 00:28, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
