Court: 4X Rapist Not A ‘Violent’ Perv
The Idaho Supreme Court says the state’s method of classifying violent sexual predators is unconstitutional and has ordered that the label be removed from a man who admitted four rapes. Tuesday’s ruling from a divided court came in the case of Jason C. Smith, who was sent to prison for the 1998 rape of a 15-year-old girl in Twin Falls County. Before his release in 2005, Smith was referred to the Sexual Offender Classification Board to determine if he should be classified as a violent sexual predator, according to the ruling.
