FAILURE TO REGISTER AS A SEX OFFENDER

APRIL 2017, KANKAKEE COUNTY

CHARGES DISMISSED

As a juvenile, the client pled guilty to a sex offense and was subjected to lifetime sex offender registration. As an adult, he missed his registration deadline and was arrested for failure to register. Mr. Hiatt successfully petitioned the juvenile court to terminate the client’s registration requirement. In light of this, prosecutors elected to dismiss the failure to register charge, which carried a potential sentence of two to five years’ imprisonment.
