Sex offender registration

Sex offender registration in some cases is discretionary, under old PC290(a)(2)(E), now PC290.006. A court can order registration in any case "if the court finds at the time of conviction or sentencing that the person committed the offense as a result of sexual compulsion or for purposes of sexual gratification." The burden of proof for finding those facts is preponderance of the evidence. (People v. Marchand (2002) 98 Cal.App.4th 1056.) Sex offender registration is not a punishment and not subject to Apprendi. (People v. Picklesimer (2010) 48 Cal.4th 330.)

The ignominy of sex offender registration are manyfold and are not limited to the California Penal Code. The ABA has produced a website listing the collateral consequences of convictions, including the many consequences of sex offender registration.

Offenses requiring sex registration

The main list of sex registerable offenses is in PC290(c)

There were several offenses for which sex offender registration was not mandatory under People v. Hofsheier (2006) 37 Cal.4th 1185. However, Johnson v. Department of Justice (2015) 60 Cal.4th 871 overruled Hofsheier.
