Supreme Court of Florida

Sentence for attempted sexual battery on a child, which included a designation as a sexual predator, is affirmed where a motion to correct an illegal sentence made under Florida criminal-procedure rules may be used to challenge a sexual predator designation, but only in cases where it is apparent from the face of the record that the defendant did not meet the criteria for designation as a sexual predator.
