People v. Sincerbeaux

Defendant pleaded guilty to incest in the third degree. Prior to Defendant’s release from incarceration, the Board of Examiners of Sex Offenders recommended that Defendant be classified as risk level three sex offender. The Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA) court assessed Defendant points under risk factors one, five, and nine and adjudicated Defendant a risk level three sex offender. The Appellate Division affirmed, concluding that the record supported the SORA court’s risk-level classification. The Court of Appeals affirmed, holding that the People proved facts to support Defendant’s SORA risk-level classification by clear and convincing evidence. View "People v. Sincerbeaux" on Justia Law
