VGW

Wic

Guidry, J., dissents. Relator should not have been
required to register as a sex offender under La. R. S.
15: 542( A)( 2), which requires registration and notification for a
juvenile who has pled guilty or been convicted of a sex offense

provided for in Children' s Code Articles 305 and 857. Through a

guilty plea, relator was convicted of indecent behavior with

juveniles, an offense not listed in Article 305 or as a transfer
basis in Article 857. See State v. Newton, 2012- 510 ( La. App.
3rd Cir. 2/ 13/ 13), 129 So. 3d 11, writ denied, 2013- 0595 ( La.
10/ 11/ 13), 123 So. 3d 1214. Accordingly, the trial court' s

denial of relator' s motion to quash should be reversed.
