People v Anaya

Holding The court affirmed the denial of the defendant’s petition to modify his sex offender classification, finding that mitigating factors were outweighed by the seriousness of the offense and recidivism. The defendant failed to establish that his age, health, or family support reduced his likelihood of reoffense.

The court’s words

Defendant has presented no basis for this Court to exercise its independent discretion to grant a downward modification of defendant's risk level.
