    Getting Off of the Sex Offender Registry
    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Iowa, in 2006 i plead guilty to attempted sex abuse class b felony in oregon, ( i touched my 12 year old 2nd cousins butt very briefly and and was charged with a sex crime) i did do it but it was not sexual by any means. so i plead out to keep from going to prison under oregon's measure 11 laws. i got 3 years zero tolerance probation. after completing probation i moved back to my home state of Iowa and continue to register twice a year, my question is, beings it happened in another state, and it was a minor, but not an aggravated offence am i eligible to get of the registry after the 10 years are up?

    Your obligations to register in Iowa arise from the following statute:
    Quote:

    Quoting Iowa Code, Sec. 692A.106 Duration of registration.
    1. Except as otherwise provided in section 232.54, 692A.103, or 692A.128, or this section, the duration of registration required under this chapter shall be for a period of ten years. The registration period shall begin as provided in section 692A.103.

    2. A sex offender who has been sentenced to a special sentence under section 903B.1 or 903B.2, shall be required to register for a period equal to the term of the special sentence, but in no case not less than the period specified in subsection 1.

    3. If a sex offender is placed on probation, parole, or work release and the probation, parole, or work release is revoked, the period of registration shall commence anew upon release from custody.

    4. A sex offender who is convicted of violating any of the requirements of this chapter shall register for an additional ten years, commencing from the date the offender’s registration would have expired under subsection 1 or, in the case of an offender who has been sentenced to a special sentence under section 903B.1 or 903B.2, commencing from the date the offender’s registration would have expired under subsection 2.

    5. A sex offender shall, upon a second or subsequent conviction that requires a second registration, or upon conviction of an aggravated offense, or who has previously been convicted of one or more offenses that would have required registration under this chapter, register for life.

    6. A sexually violent predator shall register for life.

    7. If a sex offender ceases to maintain a residence, employment, or attendance as a student in this state, the offender shall no longer be required to register, and the offender shall be placed on inactive status and relevant information shall not be placed on the sex offender registry internet site, after the department verifies that the offender has complied with the registration requirements in another jurisdiction. If the sex offender subsequently reestablishes residence, employment, or attendance as a student in this state, the registration requirement under this chapter shall apply and the department shall remove the offender from inactive status and place any relevant information and any updated relevant information in the possession of the department on the sex offender registry internet site.

    Whether or not you are required to register after the expiration of ten years will depend upon the conviction charge and whether or not you have a prior record that would trigger life registration.
