Failing to register can add five years or more to the length of time you’ll be required to be on the registration and add a prison sentence of one year plus one day for a first-time conviction. Subsequent convictions for not registering may well result in a two-year sentence at a minimum.
Once you get out of prison, the 10-year period of being on the registration starts all over. But even if you escape going to prison, the repercussions of being termed a “predatory offender” will follow you for the rest of your life.
As a registered predatory offender, the public has greater access to your personal information and criminal history. This may have a direct impact on everything from your personal relationships to employment possibilities. So, there are even more long-term burdens to getting on with your life.
Predatory Registration is Unfair but Not Doing So is a Felony
Even though the Constitution says you are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and you didn’t do anything that might remotely resemble doing something that comes close to committing a “predatory offense,” the law forces you to register if convicted of any offense. If you do not, it’s a felony and you could be sent to prison.
After being released, you will have to register for another 10 years. The first time you are found guilty of failing to register, you can be sent to prison for one year plus one day. A second offense can result in a term of up to two years. The Mandatory Minimum Sentencing provisions of the law dictate how a judge will punish you for failing to register. Once inside, other prisoners will treat you like a sex offender even if you didn’t rape, molest, harass or force anyone to submit to you. As Minnesota’s experienced predatory registration defense lawyers, we work hard to have you acquitted and, if you are guilty anyway, we will argue for probation and community service rather than incarceration.
