    If you're on the Registry, do not visit Florida. If you visit you will be forever on the Florida registry. There are better places to visit and I strongly recommend that you visit them.

    TALLAHASSEE — A Leon circuit judge has dismissed a Pennsylvania man’s challenge to a Florida law that kept him on a sexual-offender registry after a 10-day family vacation to Disney World in 2015.


    Circuit Judge Angela Dempsey dismissed the case last week, in part finding that a statute of limitations had expired. The man, identified in court documents as John Doe, reported to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office when he came to Florida because he was on a Pennsylvania registry at the time as a result of a child-pornography conviction in 2002.


    Doe was removed from the Pennsylvania registry in 2016 but remained registered as a sex offender in Florida, according to a lawsuit filed in 2020.


    The lawsuit, which named Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Rick Swearingen as a defendant, contended that the Florida law violated his constitutional privacy and due-process rights.


    But attorneys for the state argued, in part, that the lawsuit was filed after a four-year statute of limitations had expired.


    That is because Doe registered as a sex offender in Florida in 2015 but didn’t file the lawsuit until 2020.
