Justice:

Respondent filed a petition to terminate his sexual offender registration under Section 3-5 of Sex Offender Registration Act. Section 3-5(d) of the Act requires a person to prove he or she poses "no risk" to community by a preponderance of evidence to permit court to terminate sexual offender registration. Respondent had, when a minor, been adjudicated delinquent on 2 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse of 2 minors under age 8. Court's denial of Respondent's petition was not against manifest weight of evidence. Court weighed conflicting testimony and evidence before denying Respondent's petition.  (BARBERIS and OVERSTREET, concurring.)
