Failure to Register as a Sexual Offender – NOT GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES

My client was required to register as a sexual offender after he was convicted of sexual assault when he was a juvenile. The Statute requires individuals to register an address change withing 3 days of moving your residence. My client was charged with moving to Chicago without registering his address change with the Chicago Police Department. My client was facing 1-3 years in prison and an automatic 10 year extension to his registration period. We had to go to trial. The State called numeous witnesses which I aggressivly cross-examimed. Because of the holes I put in the State’s case with my questioning, the judge found my client not guilty of all charges!
