Matter of B.J.B.

Summary

The Court affirmed the order requiring B.J.B. to register as a sexual offender after he admitted sexually assaulting two younger half-siblings. It held that the governing statute exempts adjudicated youth from registration unless the court finds registration necessary for public protection and in the public's best interest, and that the District Court made the required findings based on the offenses, risk assessment, victim evidence, and other record materials. The Court concluded that the District Court's decision was not arbitrary, unreasonable, or a substantial injustice under the abuse-of-discretion standard.
