This case presents question as to whether trial court properly imposed certain conditions of probation as part of defendant’s sentence on charges of criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual assault arising out of defendant’s criminal acts against his 13-year-old sister. Said conditions included prohibition on living in same apartment complex/mobile home park as known convicted sex offender, as well as prohibition on having access to certain social networking websites, contact with persons under the age of 18, possession of pornographic material, use of computer scrub software, or use of Internet without prior approval. Appellate Court rejected defendant’s claim that said conditions were overly broad and otherwise unconstitutional. In his petition for leave to appeal, defendant argues that restriction on Internet use conflicted with holding in Packingham, 137 S.Ct. 1730.
