State v. Obas
Annotate this CaseDefendant filed an application to be exempted from continued registration as a sex offender pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat. 54-251(b). Following contested hearings, the trial court exempted Defendant from the continued obligation to register as a sex offender, finding that Defendant was under nineteen years of age at the time of the offense and that registration was not required for public safety. The State appealed, and the Appellate Court affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the Appellate Court properly concluded that the trial court had the authority to grant Defendant’s application for an exemption from registration approximately seven years after he had commenced registration, notwithstanding his agreement to register as a sex offender for ten years in his plea agreement with the State.
