Congress should amend existing statutes to allow judges to determine whether juveniles convicted of sex crimes should be required to register as sex offenders, the ABA’s policy-making House of Delegates said today.
Federal law currently require all youths 14 years old or older who are convicted of sex-related offenses to register as sex offenders for at least 25 years. The House resolution urged that judges be able to make those determinations on a case-by-case basis.
