WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. D.J.A.R.

Case No.: 2017AP52

Officials: LUNDSTEN, P.J.

Focus: Court Error – Abuse of Discretion

D.J.A.R. was adjudicated delinquent for engaging in conduct prohibited by the child sexual assault statute. He appeals the resulting dispositional order, as well as the order denying his motion for postdispositional relief.

He also argues that the court erroneously exercised its discretion by not staying this registration requirement.
