LEE HANSON, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 5th DCA | 2005-07-08
No. 5D04-3493
THOMPSON, PALMER and TORPY, JJ., concur.
905 So. 2d 1036 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (2005) Positive Treatment
Cited by 12 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant challenges the statutory scheme that imposes burdens and restrictions upon him, such as registration and public notification, by virtue of his designation as a sexual predator. § 775.21, Fla. Stat. (2004). He argues that the statute violates his substantive due process rights under the United States and Florida Constitutions because the statute presumes that he is likely to repeat his crimes, a presumption that Appellant may not refute by contrary evidence. In rejecting Appellant’s claim, we adopt the analysis of the court in Doe v. Moore, 410 F. 3d 1337 (11th Cir.2005), which rejected a similar attack on Florida’s statutory scheme requiring registration and public notification of persons designated as sexual offenders. § 943.0435, Fla. Stat. (2004).

AFFIRMED.

THOMPSON, PALMER and TORPY, JJ., concur.
