The 2006 Legislature passed a law that allows for, but does not guarantee, a life term for clergy, coaches and teachers convicted of molesting or raping a child they knew. The law was characterized incorrectly in a story on Page A1 Thursday about a Republican group’s political phone campaign about a sex offender who lives in Lake Stevens.
