Doe v. Frisz
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the circuit court denying Petitioner's petition for a writ of prohibition requesting that the circuit court prohibit Respondent from determining that he must register as a sex offender, holding that Petitioner failed to establish that he was entitled to the writ.
Petitioner pleaded guilty to four counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Several months later, Petitioner's probation officer notified him that he was required to register as a sex offender based on allegations in charges that the State later abandoned. Petitioner then filed this petition. The circuit court denied a permanent writ of prohibition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the circuit court erred in using the State's abandoned charges to find Petitioner pleaded guilty to sex offenses; but (2) a writ of prohibition was not the proper remedy.
