Most people who are convicted of any predatory offense, including violent crimes and sex crimes, may be required to register as a sex offender. The rules regarding registration are extremely rigid and can be confusing. The penalties for failing to comply with these regulations are severe. Lengthy prison terms and life-time registration are just a few of the consequences that one can face if convicted of a registration offense. Even on a first offense, the current law in the State of Minnesota establishes a mandatory minimum penalty of one year and one day in prison. That is the minimum. The penalty can be far more severe based on the circumstances of each case. Since so much is at stake it is extremely important to be represented by an attorney who is knowledgeable in this area of law. Attorney Kurt J.
