The defendant's failure to register, they held, was 'completely harmless and no worse than a breach of an overtime parking ordinance.'"
"Carmony, a registered sex offender since being convicted of assaulting his then-girlfriend's 9-year-old daughter in 1983, was arrested in 1999 for not registering with authorities, as required by law, within five days of his Oct. 22 birthday. However, he had registered 29 days earlier when he moved with his wife to a new residence."
