Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of failing to register weekly to the village police department in violation of Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA). Evidence at trial was insufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Defendant was still subject to reporting requirements of SORA nearly 33 years after his underlying conviction for attempt rape. State failed to provide any information whether Defendant's registration period was tolled due to reconfinement.(SIMON and MIKVA, concurring.)
