WILLIE LEE GREEN, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE
PER CURIAM.
After reviewing the briefs and record on appeal, we find the appellant has failed to demonstrate any reversible error; therefore the judgment appealed is affirmed.
The record is devoid of any evidence that the trial court complied with the provisions of Chapter 801 Florida Statutes, known as the Child Molester Act, prior to imposing sentence. The crime for which appellant was convicted is clearly one that falls within the purview of the act. Section 801.041 Florida Statutes (1975). The duty is on the judge, not the State or the defendant, to insure the procedures required by the act are followed. Johnson v. State, 292 So. 2d 426 (Fla.2d DCA 1974). Strict compliance is mandatory. Thomas v. State, 345 So. 2d 778 (Fla.2d DCA 1977).
Appellant’s sentence is therefore set aside and the cause remanded for compliance with the Child Molester Act; otherwise affirmed.

OF Roy Levon Williams, 493 So. 2d 44 (Fla. 5th DCA 1986)…suffered no prejudice or surprise, since the claim and attempted suit had put it on notice of the substance of the claim, courts generally hold that “good cause” is shown even though there is some lawyer error involved.

Simpson v. Est. OF H.

In re Pridgeon’s Estate, 349 So. 2d 741 (Fla. 1st DCA 1977). This requirement allows pleadings and responses sufficient to set the issues before the court prior to hearing.
