Homeless sex offenders do not have to supply the state with an address upon their release from prison, a state appeals court ruled Thursday. The 4th District Court of Appeals ruled William Dinkins, Sr., did not have to provide the state with an address when he was released from prison because he did not have one. Dinkins was convicted of first degree sexual assault of a child in 1999 and sentenced to 10 years in prison. When he was released in 2008, he said he could not comply with a state law that requires sex offenders to provide the state Department of Justice with a residence 10 days prior to their release because he had no place to live outside of prison, according to the ruling. Since Dinkins was released on the expiration date of his sentence, he was not under supervision but he did have to register as a sex offender, according to the ruling. Read More. |
