Law stopping sex offender father from living with his child is unconstitutional, court rules

An Alabama law that would strip a father convicted for possessing child pornography of the right to live with his child has been deemed unconstitutional as it relates to his case, a federal court ruled Tuesday.

The 30-page ruling was issued by a three-judge panel for the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals regarding a part of Alabama’s Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification Act that passed in 2011.
