People v. Lowe

Defendant was convicted of violating section 11-9.3(a) of the Criminal Code, which makes it unlawful for a child sex offender to knowingly be present “on real property comprising any school” when children under the age of 18 are present, due to his presence in a parking space adjacent to a high school field house. Defendant argued on appeal that the State presented insufficient evidence to sustain his conviction because it did not present any evidence of the layout of the grounds of the high school The appellate court affirmed finding that because the field house and the parking spot were part of the high school grounds the parking space was on high school real property. (ZENOFF and HUDSON, concurring)
