Months later, his probation officer informed him he needed to register as a sex offender based on abandoned charges, prompting Doe to seek a writ of prohibition against Sheriff Kurt Frisz. The circuit court denied a permanent writ. The Supreme Court of Missouri affirmed the denial of the writ, holding that while the circuit court erred in considering abandoned charges to determine sex offender status, a writ of prohibition was not the proper remedy because the Sheriff's notification was an executive, not a judicial or quasi-judicial, act.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","administrative-law","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review","other"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=186457","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/john-doe-appellant-v-kurt-frisz-chief-law-enforcement-officer-st-charles-c99310","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":32,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
