CO: Sex Offender Registration Act Requires Registry for Individuals with More than One Conviction for Unlawful Sexual Behavior

Defendant pleaded guilty to one count of second degree sexual assault and one count of third degree sexual assault and entered into a plea agreement. Among other things, the plea agreement provided that the trial court would dismiss the felony charge once defendant complied with his deferred judgment. A condition of the deferred judgment was that defendant register as a sex offender pursuant to the Colorado Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA). Defendant completed his deferred judgment and the felony charge was dismissed. Years later, defendant filed a petition to discontinue the requirement that he register as a sex offender. The trial court denied the motion. Synopsis and Opinion

I just started my probation (5 years and post 10 year registration (tier 1)). Almost done with Sex Offender Treatment (CSOT). I am hoping I can get off probation early, then registration without a problem in Texas. If anyone here has positive news for similar situation please let me know or if you want me to be part of legal team to fighting these laws let me know!

On this case it depends who defined “convicted” to mean that this also includes someone that completed deferred adjudication. If it was legislature, then he is out of luck and should have known when he took the deal.

If, however, it was an attorney general or other person in the executive branch that took it apon themselves to redefine convicted to also mean not convicted, then that is a clear violation of separation of powers and should be challenged.

We need activist RC and/or their family members to engage in the community. Bullies are handled one of three ways…1) you run from them. 2) you appease them. or 3) finally, you stand and fight them. The first two methods hasn’t worked to well for us. I will train any RC or there family member how to fight back in salons and barbershops by getting people removed from elected office (done apart from ACSOL). I’ll do this while teaching a trade and providing equipment I invented to do so. Become a salon scissor sharpener at LOW to NO COST…This is my way to fight back. What I do is impact election via doing FREE scissor sharpening in the name of my candidate for the hairdressers and barbers. It works! I got a Democrat elected in a strongly held Republican district in California. Go to Youtube and watch my videos for free search: “Sharp-N-Go mini” For your machine I’ll send you a Free DIY e-manual via attachment. This might seem like soliciting but it’s NOT because I gain nothing financially…actually I take a loss…

Ali,
What were you charged with? I am a “low risk” offender but charged with a 1st degree felony here in the not so great state of texas in 2003. my registration is lifetime after completing a 10yr deferred adjudication which was successful. what county were you tried in? The courts here are very tight on registry removal. Good luck to you. we all need to stand up and start fighting this in a very vocal way. Also kudos to Janice and the crew.
