Judge hears challenge to sex offender law
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Lawyers for a Georgia sex offender on Tuesday asked a federal judge in Atlanta to rule unconstitutional a law that requires offenders to turn over their Internet user names, e-mail addresses and passwords.
U.S. District Judge Bill Duffey had appointed lawyers from the Atlanta firm Bondurant, Mixson & Elmore to represent Clayton County sex offender Terrence J. White, who initally challenged this provision of law by filing his own lawsuit. At Wednesday’s hearing, Duffey did not issue an immediate ruling, said Nichole Iannarone, one of White’s attorneys.
State officials have said this provision of the law, which took effect this year, helps authorities protect the public from sexual predators.
