Challenge to Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act
In Pearson v. Holder, No. 09-10808, a challenge to the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) and state sex-offender laws as unconstitutional on the grounds that they impermissibly labeled those convicted of receipt of images of child pornography as “sex offenders,” the court reversed the dismissal of the action where, inasmuch as plaintiff’s release date was only some two years hence, his case was sufficiently ripe for adjudication.
