Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: Felons' rights

The state probably can't force him to sell the house, but since he is legally forbidden to be close to a school and since he will soon be closer to a school than the law permits, he will be in violation if he stays. The law should allow him to keep the property and rent it out if he wants, but he can indeed be required to stay away from it.

I should add that not all "sexual crimes" would lead to such a result. A conviction for simple prostitution or solicitation would not be enough to lead to this type of restriction. But a conviction for sexual assault, rape, illegal sexual contact with a minor (which most other states call "statutory rape"), etc. carries much more serious consequences.
