Navigating Sex Offender Registration and Information Disclosure
Minnesota mandates that residents convicted of sex crimes must adhere to registering as predatory sex offenders. Such convictions arise from a range of charges, including:
Felony criminal sexual conduct (ranging from First to Fourth Degree)
Cases of murder involving the commission or attempted commission of first or second-degree criminal sexual conduct with force or violence
Felony indecent exposure
Possession or distribution of child pornography
False imprisonment of a minor
Solicitation of a minor for prostitution or sexual conduct
Furthermore, individuals relocating to Minnesota for residency, work, or education must also register if they have been convicted of similar offenses in another state. Believe it or not, this could result in a registration requirement in Minnesota even if there was no registration requirement in the state in which you committed the underlying crime. Further, it is important to understand the a plea to anything charge related to a registrable offense also requires registration as a predatory offender.
