Juvenile Court – Sex Offender Registration

2015AP41 State of Wisconsin v. Ali H.

Ali H. appeals from a juvenile court order adjudicating him delinquent of one count of first-degree sexual assault with use of a dangerous weapon and two counts of burglary of a building or dwelling, and from an order denying his postdisposition motion. He argues that: (1) the juvenile court erroneously exercised its discretion at disposition when it allegedly considered adult criminal objectives and factors; and (2) he is entitled to a new hearing on sex-offender registration because the court applied the wrong legal standard and because a newly-enacted Milwaukee ordinance constitutes new evidence affecting the advisability of the court’s original adjudication. For the reasons which follow, we disagree and affirm.

Decision

Affirmed.
