Let Us Make A Clear And Convincing Argument For You

Under Oregon law, once you have met the time requirements, you can file a petition for relief from reporting requirements. This is even if the conviction requiring registration occurred in another state, although generally, you must otherwise qualify for relief in the state of conviction. Petitions can be filed with either the courts or with the Oregon Board of Parole. The courts or Board of Parole will grant a petition for relief if you can prove with clear and convincing evidence that you are rehabilitated and do not pose a threat to public safety.

When making this determination, the court will consider many factors, including:

  • Date of the conviction
  • Degree and nature of the sexual offense
  • Completion of a sex offender treatment program
  • Criminal record prior to and after the offense
  • Whether the offense was adjudicated in juvenile court
  • Age and number of victims involved
  • Relevant noncriminal behavior prior to and after the offense
  • Other relevant mitigating factors
