Doe v. Sex Offender Registry Bd.
Annotate this CaseJohn Doe, who was thirty-one years old, pleaded guilty to several sex offenses that he committed when he was a juvenile. Seven years later, Doe was classified as a level one sex offender. The classification was upheld by a judge of the superior court. Doe appealed, arguing that he should not be required to register as a sex offender in light of scientific research showing that adolescent brains are different from adult brains and in light of the long period of time that had elapsed since his last offense. The Supreme Court affirmed the superior court judge’s decision upholding the hearing examiner’s classification determination, holding that the hearing examiner’s decision was supported by substantial evidence.
