[Vision2020] Question for You Legal Eagles Out There

[Tom Hansen]

Scenario:  A person is convicted in the state of Idaho for child
molestation.  As part of this person's sentence, this person (upon release)
is required to register with the local authorities as a sex offender in the
state this person resides.  This person is released and decides to live,
work, and register his vehicle in a Washington border down (say, Pullman).
He registers with the state of Washington and the county of Whitman as a sex
offender.

Question:  Would this person be required to register in the state of Idaho,
and the county of Latah, if this person maintained non-residential,
non-business ties in an Idaho border down (say, Moscow), such ties as weekly
church activities or shopping.

Would any of you fine legal eagles care to answer this question?

Thanks,

Tom Hansen
Moscow, Idaho
