U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-3193
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville
[PUBLISHED] [Arnold, Author, with Wollman and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Defendant's constitutional challenges to his
SORNA prosecution are foreclosed by Eighth Circuit precedents; in
determining whether defendant's prior offense was conduct that by its
nature was a sex offense against a minor under SORNA, the court joins the
circuits which have adopted a "circumstance-specific approach;" here, the
circumstances that underlie defendant's prior conviction for indecent
exposure clearly show it was an offense involving a minor victim and, for
SORNA purposes, he committed a sex offense against a minor and was
obligated to register and update his information under SORNA.
