Description
Randall Wayne Pickens was sentenced on December 5, 1995, for a sexual assault committed on July 20, 1994. The original sentencing order was silent as to the application of the sex offender registry law, Iowa Code ch. 692A (West Supp. 1996), which became effective after the crime was committed but before Pickens was sentenced. Pickens requested a clarification of the sentencing order regarding his obligation to register and claimed that a retroactive application of the statute would violate the ex post facto provisions of the United States and Iowa Constitutions. The district court rejected these arguments, and we affirm. Pickens was convicted of assault against a minor with the intent to commit sexual abuse, a crime that requires registration as a sex offender under the statute. See Iowa Code § 692A.2(1).
