City of Shawnee v. Adem

Summary

The court held that the Kansas Offender Registration Act applies to a municipal-court conviction for sexual battery because the municipal offense is an offense comparable to the statutorily defined crime. It also held that the registration act is not part of the Kansas Code of Criminal Procedure for purposes of the provision limiting application of that code to municipal courts. The court further held that the defendant's challenge was properly before the appellate courts and affirmed both lower-court judgments.
