In re: S.B.

This case presents question as to whether trial court properly required respondent-minor, who had been found "not not guilty" on charge of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, to register as sex offender pursuant to section 2(A)(1)(d) of Registration Act (730 ILCS 150/2(A)(1)(d))? Appellate Court, in reversing trial court, rejected govt.'s argument that minor qualified as sex offender in light of remedial distinction between adults and juveniles that was contained in Registration Act, and in light of fact that instant non-delinquent juvenile would have fewer rights than delinquent juvenile to petition circuit court to terminate sex offender registration. Appellate Court suggested that result might have been different if govt. had transferred matter to adult criminal system. (Dissent filed.)
