How often courts cite this section

citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

(1) A person is considered to be a "sexual offender" as used in this chapter when he or she has been adjudicated guilty of a sex crime, as defined in KRS 17.500, or any similar offense in another jurisdiction.

(2) A sexual offender becomes an "eligible sexual offender" when the sentencing court or department officials, or both, determine that the offender:

(a) Has demonstrated evidence of a mental, emotional, or behavioral disorder, but not active psychosis or an intellectual disability; and (b) Is likely to benefit from the program.

(3) "Department" is the Department of Corrections.
