If a civil complaint is filed alleging sexual abuse and if a verdict of liability is returned by a jury or judge, then the plaintiff or victim of the sexual abuse or that plaintiff’s or victim’s representative may petition the court to place the defendant on the Civil Sexual Abuse Report. To establish eligibility, the court must determine whether the civil offense for which a verdict of liability was rendered has similar elements to an offense that would require registration pursuant to subchapter III of Chapter 41 of Title 11.
