Complications associated with a Failure to Register

Failure to comply with sex offender mandatory registration requirements can create serious, substantial legal complications. Once you are released from prison or placed on probation, you have only a limited amount of time to register. Failure to register is a felony in the state of Florida and will result in a warrant being issued for your arrest. Additionally, if you are on probation, you will also be charged with violating the terms of your probation. If, for whatever reason, you fail to register on time, it's essential that you contact an attorney and the authorities to show a good faith effort to rectify your mistake.
