Scenario
Find the relevant law for the following scenario, and explain how you did so. Your answer should incorporate state statutes (not federal statutes). The issue here is how you searched, not what you found.
Three years ago Erik Johnson, a 37-year-old male, was convicted of lewd and lascivious acts upon a child. The crime consisted of touching. The touching was consensual, and involved the 13-year-old daughter of Erik’s bride of two weeks, which bride arrived from Russia, with daughter in tow, days before the marriage.
Under the law of the State where Erik was convicted, the crime was a felony. Johnson served 14 months in prison for the crime, successfully completing probation last month. Having divorced, Erik has moved West, and found a job in Sacramento, California, where he hopes to leave his past behind and start a new life. Erik has come to the law firm for advice because his probation officer told him that he might be required to register ONLINE as a sex offender, and that he will definitely have to register with the local police. Erik understands that he must register as a sex offender in Sacramento, California with the local police, but opposes being registered Online, due to the ease with which people can find and target him and can check his background.
Your supervising attorney asks you to research the question:
Does Erik have to register ONLINE in California as a sex offender?
So far, you have found this:
California does have a form that a sex offender can file to seek exemption from having sex offender information listed on the Internet: http://www.meganslaw.ca.gov/pdf/Application.pdf.
Please respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts.
