Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

registration 290

Is there any legal way to apply so a sex offender no longer has to register? Especially if the crime has been expunged, and not a molestation or rape case. This person just made a mistake and had sex with a minor 1 time. He does not belong with the rapist and molesters.

I heard a little something about a form that has something with a title of rehabilitation, or something like that??

Re: registration 290

Thank you very much for your posting and your inquiry.

The form you speak of is called a certificate of rehabilitation, but that may not help avoid the lifetime registration requirement of PC 290. Your "friend" may want to do an appeal, or make a motion based upon newly discovered evidence or factual innocence.

I hope that this information helps you, but if you have further questions, want more information, or feel that you need legal representation, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected]. It's my pleasure to assist in any way that I can.
