What is the test for a sex offender's failure to register as a registered sex offender?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Ford, B279131 (Cal. App. 2017):
He willfully violated his sex offender registration requirement. This was an intentional, deceitful act designed to prevent authorities from discovering he resided in a dysfunctional home with young children. We cannot say the trial court's ruling was "so irrational or arbitrary that no reasonable person could agree with it." (People v. Carmony, supra, 33 Cal.4th at p. 377.)
The judgment is affirmed.
