Jose Marrufo, Appellant v. Arkansas Department of Human Services, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the agency’s placement of Marrufo on the Child Maltreatment Central Registry. It held that the 180-day hearing period was tolled for the delay attributable to Marrufo’s requested continuance, and that substantial evidence supported rejecting his affirmative defense because he offered no evidence that he reasonably believed the minor was at least sixteen. No separate opinions were filed.
