Question Presented (OCR Extract)
QUESTION(S) PRESENTED How can the State of Kansas manage me as a sexual offender when I was found acquitted of rape by a jury? Furthermore, the State of Kansas wasn’t able to find evidence of a sexually motivated crime, therefore under what legal authority does Kansas have to impose management as a sex offender? How is this not a second prosecution and second punishment for the same offense, amounting to double jeopardy?
