Federal prosecution for failure to register as a sex offender does not violate due process, the 2nd Circuit ruled Wednesday. Addressing an issue of first impression, the 2nd Circuit rejected the defendant's arguments that his indictment for failing to update his registration in New York and to register in Florida under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act should be dismissed due to lack of notice and due to the fact that New York and Florida didn't have a registry in place that complied with the act.
