Criminal Law, Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA)

BURGLARY AS A SEXUALLY MOTIVATED FELONY IS NOT A REGISTRABLE OFFENSE UNDER SORA; THE JUDGMENT REQUIRING DEFENDANT TO REGISTER AS A SEX OFFENDER VACATED (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department determined burglary as a sexually motivated felony is not a registrable offense under SORA:

… [W]e agree with defendant, as well as the People’s concession, that burglary in the second degree as a sexually motivated felony is not a registerable offense under SORA because it is not expressly identified as a “[s]ex offense” pursuant to Correction Law § 168-a (2) (a) … .

… [T]he judgment is modified, on the law, by vacating the provisions thereof certifying defendant as a sex offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act and requiring him to register as a sex offender and pay the related sex offender registration fee … . People v Vakhoula, 2023 NY Slip Op 02034, Third Dept 4-20-23

Practice Point: Burglary as a sexually motivated felony is not a registrable offense under SORA. Conviction does not require registration as a sex offender.
