attorneys for Patrick Sullivan, we now contact you regarding your recent request t6at ^ .As Mr..Sullivan participate in a sexual evaluation. It has beenour advice to Mr. Sullivan that he not participate in such an evaluation. We wanted to explain this reasoning to you so that you understand our perspective. our arlvice that he dois not need to pirti"ipui* in a ,.xo*t First, the Court hbs not ordered him to participate in such an bvaluation.
Second, the Iaw does not require that this evaluation bc clone, nor is there a basis for such an order by the court. As you know, Mr. sullivan pled guilty to Possession of Methamphetamine (F6) and solicitation of Prostitution (m3). Neitheiof thlrc off.rr., requires a sexual evaluation. Further and importantly, Mr. Sullivan was never charged with a sex off"nse nor did he adrnit on to having comrnitted a sex offense. As ,u.h, th.r* is no legal Tt9la basis for an order that Mr. sullivan undergo such an evaruation. our legal analysis is as follows:
llt
section i 8-i .3-204 outiines the court's discretion in establishing conditions o1. probatio,, The instructive references to sex offender evaluation and treatment are contained in subsection (i) and subsection (2Xd).
Subsection (i) requires a court to order that a defenclant cornply with any court orders regarding the treatment of sex offenders issued pursuant to article 1 1 .7 of title 16, C'R'S' Turning to Title 16, Section 16-11.7-104 maniates convicted sex offenders who have committed a sexual offense are required to subrnit to an evalu"i"r.'-i-.tion 16ll'7-102 defines.sex_off9nse and lists those crimes that fail under such definition.

16'22-102(9), C'R'S. Again turning to this subsection, solicitation of prostitution is not listed. the broader terms of the sex offender registration statute, Mr. Sullivan would not be required to register. Section L6-22-103Q)(cXIXD) Jnly requires registratio* ro, u person ylo was charged with and convicted of an offense itut aol, not constitute unlawful sexual behavior (again, as defined in 16-22-102(9)) when "the person admits on the record, after advisement as provided.in subparagraph (II) of this paragiaph (c), that ttre unaerijingl"dr;i basis of the offense involved unlawful iexual behaviori, Even under
someone who made statements about uncharged and unproven allegations of sexual mis.onouct.
Nothing in any of these sections permits the court's order of a sexual evaluation for
As you can see, based upon our review of the law in this area, it is our position -. based upol boJ{ the charges and the offenses for which he was convicted - that rh"* i, ;; basis to require Mr' Sullivan to undergo a sexrnl evaluation in this case. please tet us know if you disagree with this advisement arrd *" will continue to discuss this issue with Mr. Suilivan.
Thank you,
