Alert To Sex Offenders, You May Not Have To Register Based Upon New Law!

California residents are beginning to wake up and come to their senses. New case law has deemed that certain sex crimes are no longer mandatory sex registerable. Although PC290 lists the crimes that “require” sex registration, new cases are carving out exceptions allowing the Judge discretion not to require registration on certain sex crimes. It’s been a long time coming.

Oral copulation with a 16 or 17 year old used to be mandatory sex registration. The Judge had no authority to prevent that. Under new case law of People v. Hofsheier, it is now discretionary. If you are currently registering as a sex offender for the crime of oral copulation, call us right away. We may be able to stop 290 sex registration (and get you off of Megan’s Law website) regardless when you were convicted.

As great as that case is, new cases are emerging that is expanding the holding under Hofsheier regarding other types of sex crimes as well. The tide is turning.
