Missouri statutes require registration if registration was ever required under United States statutes, which require registration for anyone convicted of any offense involving sexual contact with a minor, which includes appellant. Reducing the time on the registry was possible under the United States statutes but not under Missouri statutes. “Even if an offender is eligible for removal under [United States and Missouri statutes], they will still be . . . required to register pursuant to [Missouri statutes] for their lifetime.” Court of Appeals affirms the circuit court’s judgment denying a declaratory judgment in appellant’s favor.
