The applicant sought to terminate a Sex Offender Information Registration Act (SOIRA) order made pursuant to s. 490.012(2) following his conviction for indecent act contrary to s. 173(1)(a).
The order was made on May 13, 2010, and the applicant applied for termination after more than six years had elapsed.
The court applied the test under s. 490.016(1), requiring the applicant to establish on a balance of probabilities that the impact of continuing the order, including on privacy or liberty, would be grossly disproportionate to the public interest in protecting society through the effective prevention or investigation of crimes of a sexual nature.
The court granted the application and terminated the order.
