NEW ORLEANS — A federal judge refused Wednesday to dismiss a class-action lawsuit that seeks to have removed from the state’s sex offender registry roughly 400 people who were convicted of soliciting oral or anal sex for money under Louisiana’s “crime against nature by solicitation” law.
U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman ruled in April that the names of nine plaintiffs who were convicted of the same offense must be stricken from the registry. A separate suit, filed after Feldman issued his decision, says the ruling should be applied to anyone in the same position.
Louisiana Attorney General James “Buddy” Caldwell’s office urged Feldman to dismiss the latest suit, arguing that a recent change in state law leaves the potential class members without any valid claims.
