Do Sex Offenders Stil Have to Register After They Are Done With Probation

[ymay777]

My question involves criminal law for the state of: my boyfriend and I have been dating for a year now, and we're planning on getting married once I graduate college.
When he was young he played "doctor" with a girl and she told her mom and they pressed assualt charges, the lawyer pushed that the court to wait until he was 18 to stand trial.
When he turned 18 he was charged with sex offence and went to Jail. He's been on probation for 12+ years and is hoping to be finished within this year (2012)
If we're still together by then and even after I graduate college and want to get married and be somewhere romantic for our wedding, honeymoon and want to live in different states, does he still have to register as a sex offender even though he is done with that part of his life in all aspects and is married?
How challenging and what obsticals will we have to overcome if we are still together for the next 5+ years and are married?

Whether he has to register in some other state will depend on the offense for which he was charged and the laws within that state where you want to live. He may have to register ... he may not.

Oh, and I strongly suspect this was much more than playing "doctor." And even if they waited until he was 18, if the offense occurred as a juvenile he would have been charged as a juvenile unless the offense was one of some pretty serious felony offenses in which case he could be charged as an adult even if a juvenile near 18.

Of what crime(s) was he convicted? (Statutes if you have them)

Wait a minute, here. You expect to graduate from college in 5 years. The typical age of college graduation is 22...so, you are 17 now? And, have been "dating" this man since you were 16? And, he was convicted when he was 18 and has been on probation for 12+ years...making him 30+?

You don't mention what state you reside in...but, in many states he has already been committing a new crime for "dating" you for the past year! Not to mention the almost assured violation of his probation! Sounds to me like the man is a sexual predator and you are his latest victim. You seriously need to talk about this with a responsible adult whom you trust...not your bff at school, not your friend's "cool" older brother who is 22...I'm talking about a teacher, school councilor, youth minister, your parents, a friend's parents...someone who can help you evaluate your "relationship" with this predator realistically and with your best interests in mind. If he is willing to violate his probation by committing new sex offenses, he is far from "done with that part of his life in all aspects!!!" Please talk to someone about what is going on with you and this sexual predator.

I think you are unsure of this relationship since you are already talking in terms of "IF we're still together".

I do hope you are not a teenager messing around with this much older man.
