I have a friend who plead out to a charge of sexual solicitation of a minor(3-324). He was incarcerated for 10 months, during which time he was on work release. He then got 9 months on home confinement with six years probation and 10 years registry on Megans list. Here's the thing, he received a letter from the state of Maryland, where he resides, stating that now his registry would be for 20+ years. My question is how is this possible? I am a law student who was taught that when new laws are put in place they only apply to new offenders. He obviously isn't a new offender. Set aside that fact that his probationary status is overcompliance and has attended voluntary counseling, how is this right or legal? Is there anyway possible for him to fight this? Please provide any help you can on this matter as it is causing severe stress to all involved. Thank you
