But U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball said the state must limit who can obtain information on offenders who completed their sentences and probation prior to July 1, 1998. Since April 1996, the state has kept a registry of sex offenders with their offenses, physical descriptions and last known residences. However, the information was available to the public only on a limited basis, and those who had completed their sentences and probation prior to 1996 were not included. The state's registry should include a "risk assessment, that is, a determination as to the potential risk that an offender will -- The state Legislature amended the law in 1998 to make the information available to the public on the Internet without restriction and to include those who completed their sentences prior to 1996. of The Department Corrections began putting the information on its website in July, but no new names have been added since September, after a legal challenge by a Salt Lake County sex offender using the pseudonym Jon Brian Barnard, aiiorney Femedeer. The state contended the public is entitled to information about sex offenders for safety reasons. But Femedeer's attorney, Brian Barnard, said such an easily accessible display of Femedeer's crimes and current location was not allowed when he was convicted and sentenced. Permitting it now increase would illegally Femedeer's sentence after the fact, Barnard argued. Barnard also said the state's registry should include a "risk assessment, that is, a determination as to the potential risk that an offender will Most states distinguish between minor offenders and dangerous felons likely to offend again, listing only the latter in public registries, Barnard argued. Without such a risk assessment, the social stigma attached to being listed in the database is added punishment for minor offenders, he said. Assistant Attorney General James Beadles argued that the Legislature included a risk assessment in the law by defining what crimes would constitute being listed on the database. Kimball agreed with the state, saying a risk assessment is not necessary. of Provo, .died Jan. 21, 1999. Funeral services are pending and will be Sundberg-Olpi- n announced by Mortuary of Provo.
