Q: If i was adjudicated for a rape charge at 13 can I move out of state now that I'm 19
A: The answer to your question depends on whether you are still under the jurisdiction and supervision of the juvenile court, and, if so, whether the conditions of your supervision prohibit you from moving out of the state. If you are currently under court supervision you should seek the permission of your probation officer or the court before moving. If you have completed all supervision, you are free to move. However, if you are a registered sex offender as a result of your adjudication, you must notify the sheriff that you intend to move and may be required to register with the sheriff in the place to which you move upon arrival.
