Jonathan D. Frieden discusses a Tenth Circuit case previously noted on this blog.
On October 26, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, decided a case involving a sex-offender’s constitutional challenge of a Utah’s sex offender registry statute. Doe v. Shurtleff, 2010 WL 4188248 (C.A.10 (Oct. 26, 2010)). John Doe, a registered sex offender, appealed a decision from the district court enforcing the Utah statute that required all sex offenders living in Utah to register their “internet identifiers” and their corresponding websites with the state.
