Supreme Court of Delaware

Corley v. State

November 18, 2025

Summary

The Court affirmed Corley’s tier II sex-offender designation because Delaware law requires tier II designation for a person convicted under the specified federal child-pornography statute. It rejected his preclusion, full-faith-and-credit, constitutional, counsel, and jury-trial arguments because Delaware’s designation turned on his federal conviction and the relevant adjudications and procedural protections occurred in his federal criminal case.
