California Court of Appeal

In a dispute concerning whether subjecting sex offenders convicted under Penal Code section 288(a) to mandatory sex offender registration violates their right to equal protection where registration for certain other sex offenders is discretionary, judgment of the trial court directing defendant to register as a sex offender is affirmed where offenders convicted under section 288(a) are not similarly situated to persons convicted of offenses under section 261.5.
