Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

Re: second degree sexual misconduct

From your description, your son has been committing a felony for the last 2 years by not registering as a sex offender. Go to http://www.mipsor.state.mi.us/ (the State Police web site's Sex Offender Registration page) and click on the link to the Act's text and the Frequently Asked Questions. Tell your son to READ THEM!

Even juveniles adjudicted on sex offenses must register, like adults do. The only thing is that, while they are juveniles, they won't come up in the public/internet search.

He must contact MSP immediately and register. If he does so, even tho he's late, he probably won't get charged with not previously registering. The law also requires him to periodically re-contact MSP re: his address, and to tell MSP within 10 days after moving of a new address ... even if it is out-of-state.

I forgot to add this: he must register for 25 years (not until he's 25 ... for 25 years).
