Duty to Register as a Sex Offender

Whether the accused is convicted of a felony or misdemeanor indecent exposure offense, a court may also require that they register as a sex offender in California for as long as they live, work, or attend school in California. See California Penal Code Section 290. Any willful failure to register as a sex offender is a separate criminal offense with its own penalties which includes a jail sentence of up to three years in state prison.
