People v. Rodriguez

Defendant was found not not guilty of aggravated criminal sexual assault on the basis of unfitness as he was incapable of understanding the registration requirements. Appellate court held that a person found not not guilty of a sex offense, even on the basis of unfitness, falls within purview of Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA) and is required to register. SORA statutory scheme is not unconstitutional on its face or as applied to Defendant. Although SORA has become more onerous since 1998, it remains nonpunitive in effect. Defendant was capable of complying with registration requirements. (PUCINSKI and HYMAN, concurring.)
