Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Requirements for registering as a sex offender

A friend has been convicted on 3 counts of misdemeanor child pornography posession in California, where he will serve 2 months in a halfway house on work release. He lives in Virginia. We think he probably has to register as a sex offender in California, but we're not sure. Will he also have to register in Virginia?
