Thus, if a person is required to register as a sex offender and fails to do so, it can result in a reconviction of their probation. Recently, an appellate <a href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/cases\/florida\/first-district-court-of-appeal\/2020\/18-0659.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">court<\/a> in Florida analyzed whether the court must explicitly designate a person as a sexual offender for the person to be required to register as a sex offender in a case in which the defendant\u2019s probation was revoked for failing to register. If you are a resident if St. Petersburg currently charged with a sex crime, it is prudent to consult a trusted St. Petersburg sex crime defense attorney regarding your options for protecting your interests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Factual and Procedural Background of the Case<\/p>\n<p>It is alleged that the defendant was charged with false imprisonment, aggravated battery, and lewd or lascivious battery, in 2002. The charging information alleged that the defendant engaged in sexual activity with a person between the ages of twelve and sixteen. He pleaded guilty to the aggravated battery and false imprisonment charges, and the State agreed not to prosecute him on the lewd and lascivious battery charge. After the defendant completed his sentence, he was released on probation.<\/p>\n<p>Reportedly, six years later, the defendant was charged with the failure to register as a sexual offender. In response, he filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that he had never been designated as a sexual offender, and an automatic designation without a hearing violated his rights. The court denied the defendant\u2019s motion to dismiss, finding there was a sexual component to the underlying claims. The defendant pleaded guilty and reserved his right to appeal the denial of his motion.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stpetersburgcriminalattorney.net\/blog\/florida-court-discusses-when-a-person-must-register-as-a-sexual-offender\/#more-695\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Often, people who are convicted of sex crimes are required to register as sex offenders.
