INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - A man convicted of rape and child abuse in Massachusetts says he shouldn't have to register as a sex offender in Indiana because he moved here before the registry went into effect in either state.
The Court of Appeals of Indiana has set arguments in Thomas Andrews' lawsuit for Sept. 5 at the Indiana University Robert McKinney School of Law in downtown Indianapolis.
Andrews pleaded guilty to charges of rape and abuse of a child in Massachusetts in 1984. He completed his sentence in 1989 and moved to Indiana in 1993. He hasn't been arrested on sex offense charges while living in Indiana.
Andrews argues that Indiana's constitution prohibits laws from being enforced retroactively.
The state claims a 2006 federal law obligates him to register as a sex offender.
