Case Number: 
2018 IL App (4th) 170506
Decision Date: 
Tuesday, October 23, 2018
District: 
4th Dist.
Division/County: 
Sangamon Co.
Holding: 
Affirmed.
Justice: 
STEIGMANN

Defendant was charged with failure to register as a sex offender. Court properly denied Defendant's pro se motion to dismiss. Sex Offender Registration Act does not subject Defendant to double jeopardy, because State is prosecuting him for a different criminal act. The Act contains no mandatory presumption as to ultimate facts, and does not violate due process. (HARRIS and KNECHT, concurring.)
