Indiana officials are stripping the state’s sex offender registry of hundreds of names in light of a 2009 ruling by the Indiana Supreme court. Richard Wallace filed suit last year alleging that he should not have to be on the registry because he was convicted in the 80s when the registry did not exist.
The ruling affects about 2,000 Indiana sex offenders. The state attorney general said it may take up to a year to get the registry updated.
The move is not expected to have a big impact on public safety. Officials said there may be dozens of people who are not on the registry who have never committed a crime but are a threat.
