WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. D.S.
Case No.: 2015AP1634
Officials: BRASH, J.
Focus: Sex Offender Registration – Minor
D.S. appeals an order requiring him to register as a sex offender for life, and an order denying his postdisposition motion to stay the registration requirement. D.S. seeks a new hearing on sex offender registration, arguing that: (1) the circuit court relied on inaccurate and improper information in the form of a study performed by a psychologist at Lincoln Hills School regarding the recidivism rate of sexual offenders released from the school; and (2) that the circuit court relied on information from the Juvenile Sex Offender Assessment (JSOAP-II) that was inaccurately interpreted as predicting a juvenile’s risk to reoffend. We disagree and affirm.
