Juvenile Sex Offender Registration Laws of Oklahoma
This article answers questions pertaining to the juvenile sex offender registration laws of Oklahoma. The Juvenile Sex Offender Registration Act was added in 2001 because of a case in Oilton, Oklahoma where a 19 year old male named Robert Wayne Rotramel was charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, lewd molestation, rape, and forcible sodomy after he allegedly kidnapped two young girls. One a 7 year-old was strangled and the other, a 12 year old was raped. This was not Robert Wayne Rotramel’s first offense. Five years earlier when Rotramel was 14 years old, he forcibly sodomized a young boy, and a juvenile court adjudicated him delinquent. At the time he allegedly murdered the youngest girl and raped the older, no one had any way of knowing that Rotramel had an extensive juvenile record, including allegations of sex crimes, because of the sealed juvenile records. After Rotramel’s charge of rape and murder, a publishing company filed a request for access to his juvenile records under the Oklahoma Open Records Act.

The publishing company took the case to the Supreme Court of Oklahoma to force the trial court to release the records, and the Oklahoma Sta
Prior to adjudication, when the court orders a juvenile to be registered on the sex offender list, the court must provide, at the time the order is written, a notification of the duty to register. The court order must be signed by the juvenile and whoever has custody of the juvenile (either a parent or guardian), unless the juvenile is in the custody of the Office of Juvenile Affairs. I found, in Illinois there is a case now going before the Illinois Supreme Court. A lawyer from the University of Illinois is challenging the Illinois juvenile sex offender registration laws. This lawyer claims that the juveniles have the right for their records to be sealed.
