Criminal Law: Sex Offender – Registration – Enactment Dates
Stephanie Maniscalco//June 27, 2012//
Where three sex offenders, who committed their crimes before the effective date of the state’s Sex Offender Registration Act and who had not traveled in interstate commerce since the effective date of the federal Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, sought a declaration that they could not be punished for failing to register, a sex offender’s obligation to register pursuant to SORNA is not dependent on his having engaged in interstate travel after SORNA’s enactment, so the trial court properly entered judgment on the pleadings.
Judgment is affirmed.
