Criminal Law: Sex Offender Registry-Petition for Exemption

Where the state challenged the grant of a petition to respondent, who claimed he was exempt from registration as a sex offender, the trial court did not err in finding that the respondent was exempt from registration requirements pursuant to the Missouri law, but the court did not determine whether he had an obligation to register under the federal act, so the judgment is reversed and remanded for a determination of the respondent’s registration requirements under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act.

Judgment is reversed in part; remanded.
