He did not re-register and was not told to do so. On May 1, 2014, defendant was arrested for failing to re-register. He admitted that he was aware of his obligation to re-register within five days of his release. The court found him guilty and imposed a sentence of 32 months. The court of appeal affirmed, finding that Penal Code 290.17 requires notification of the re-registration requirement upon each release, but is directory rather than mandatory.
