Iowa Supreme Court upholds 2000-foot sex offender residency rule
The Iowa Supreme Court ruled the 2000-foot residency law for sex offenders does not violate due process. Benjamin Groves, 29, argued the statute limited his liberty rights to basic living standards after lascivious acts with a child conviction in 1997. The ruling cites no fundamental right to choose residence and maintains the measure to protect schools and child-care centers.
