United States Ninth Circuit

Sentence for pleading guilty to knowingly taking or receiving obscene matters from an interactive computer service in violation of 18 U.S.C. section 1462, a crime that does not categorically constitute a "sex offense" as defined by the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), is affirmed where defendant's admissions made at his change of plea proceedings establish that his crime was a "sex offense" as defined by SORNA, thus the court correctly ordered defendant to register as a sex offender pursuant to SORNA.
