Advice Concerning Requirements to Register as a Military Sex Offender

Military Sexual Offender Registration Notification

Downloadable form – Advice Concerning Requirements to Register as a Sex Offender-Military Sex Assault Lawyers

General Information: Under Federal law, DoD Instruction 1325.07, and Army Regulation 27-10, those who have been convicted of any offense listed on the attached pages must register with the appropriate authorities in the jurisdiction (State, District of Columbia, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, the United States Virgin Islands, and Indian Tribal lands) in which they reside, carry on a vocation, or attend school.  Generally, this sex offender registration must take place within three days of release from confinement or within three days of conviction if not confined. This requirement exists regardless of whether the service member remains in the Army or is separated.  If the service member remains in the military, registration with the installation Provost Marshal is also required.

Advice to Client: Sex offender registration lists are accessible by the public.  I understand that I may encounter substantial prejudice from being classified as a sex offender.

Because each State’s laws or territorial laws are different and can be changed or interpreted differently, it will be my responsibility to determine the registration requirements where I reside, carry on a vocation, or am a student to determine the requirements.  My defense counsel has advised me to consult an attorney in the jurisdiction where I will live, work or go to school if I have any questions.  It is a violation of law to fail to register as a sex offender if the law requires me to do so.

The offenses which commonly require registration as a sex offender are very broad and include, as a minimum, those listed on the enclosure. State or territorial law may be even broader.

I have discussed the above matters with my defense counsel.

I have read and understand the contents of this form and the enclosure and have been provided a copy of them.

False Allegations of Sexual Assault in the Military

Forcible Pandering or Forced Prostitution MCM 45b(12)

Forcible pandering is compelling someone to

• Engage in an act of “prostitution”
• And procuring the clients for the act of prostitution

“Prostitution” is a sexual act, sexual contact or a lewd act.

A “lewd” act is intentionally touching another’s genitalia (not through clothing) with the intent to abuse, humiliate or degrade any person or to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person or intentionally causing another person to engage in said touching. MCM 45a(t)(10)
