(Modified upon denial of rehearing 7/20/18.) Defendant, age 21 at the time, began a relationship with female who was 16 but who represented herself to be 18. Court properly admitted and published a voicemail recording during Defendant's cross-examination. Defendant's lifetime subjection to sex offender statutes is grossly disproportionate punishment as applied to him. No evidence suggested that Defendant intentionally preyed upon underage girls.(LYTTON, concurring; WRIGHT, concurring in part and dissenting in part.)
