From the article it looks like at least ten years.
I guess I'm busted for not reading the article. Even registering for ten years would really hurt these kids. Sex offender registration is awful for those who have to do it. I'd rather go to prison for a few years then have to register. They're very limited on where they can live. People around them are going to know about it and think they are perverted predators. Cops will mess with them all the time. They'll have to tell the people at school, and at college if they can get into a college. They'll have to tell prospective employers. They won't be able to go into the military if that's what they want to do. If they fail to dot their eyes or cross their t’s on their complicated registration requirements they are likely to be picked up and sent to prison where they're likely to be raped. I hope these kids get their charges amended and don't have to register for something silly like this. We have too many people being forced to register over silly things, and usually they register for life. I don't think sex offender registration is a bad idea, but we've gone overboard with it. We should only be registering actual predators, rapists and creepy guys who molest little kids, the ones who are actually a threat. A lot of the folks we are forcing to register now are people in trouble for fairly minor offenses, things that in many cases wouldn't even be criminal acts a few decades or even a few years ago, things like a young guy having sex with his teenaged girlfriend not much younger than him. I represented a guy a while back on a failure to register charge who had been convicted for having sex with a girl a few years younger than him who he was actually married to at the time he was accused of failing to register several years later. They had a couple of young kids. He'd done just about everything he was supposed to do on his registration requirements but was a few days late reporting a job change or something like that and he was sent to prison over that. I couldn't believe it. I don't like sex offenders but that was just wrong.
