The Judge correctly applied the statutory criteria and was entitled to conclude registration was necessary: extensive sexualised online communications with an 11-year-old, a 33-year age gap, a 2016 police warning for similar conduct, Corrections' medium risk assessment, and appellant's lack of remorse/insight demonstrated a real risk to the sexual safety of children and justified registration.
