Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
Thomas Iseman vs. Missouri Department of Corrections and Colonel Eric Olson, Sued in His Official Capacity as the Superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol
Thomas Iseman appealed a summary judgment ordering him to register as a sex offender under Missouri's Sex Offender Registration Act. Iseman had pleaded guilty to two counts of harassment, and the trial court found the underlying facts of his convictions were sexual in nature. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the trial court properly considered facts from the guilty plea and sentencing transcripts beyond the charging document. The court concluded that Iseman's conduct of entering a seven-year-old's room nude and rubbing her belly was sexual in nature, requiring registration.
