Description
We review a decision of a district court of appeal declaring invalid the Florida Sexual Predators Act as applied to a defendant whose crime admittedly did not include a sexual component. See Robinson v. State, 804 So. 2d 451 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, ΓΒ§ 3(b)(1), Fla. Const. See also State v. Iacovone, 660 So. 2d 1371, 1372 (Fla. 1995) (reviewing under article V, section 3(b)(1) a district court decision holding a statute unconstitutional as applied); Psychiatric Assocs. v. Siegel, 610 So. 2d 419, 421-23 (Fla. 1993) (same). For the reasons explained below, we hold that the Act, which requires certain defendants to register as sexual predators and limits their employment opportunities, is unconstitutional as applied to a defendant whose crime indisputably did not contain a sexual element. We therefore affirm the decision of the district court, but on different grounds.
