California Court of Appeal

In a conviction of defendant for sexual penetration by foreign object on an unconscious person, trial court's order of mandatory lifetime sex offender registration is affirmed where: 1) the forcible nature of defendant's sex offense sets him apart from the defendants in Hofsheier and following cases in which an equal protection challenge to section 290 was sustained; and 2) defendant's substantive due process rights under the federal and state constitutions are not violated by section 290's requirement that he register as a sex offender.
