Text: [¶ 31] At sentencing, the court determined that Poblete's gross sexual assault conviction warranted his classification as a lifetime registrant pursuant to SORNA. Lifetime registrants are those convicted and sentenced for committing either a [s]exually violent offense, or a [s]ex offense when the person has a prior conviction for or an attempt to commit an offense that includes the essential elements of a sex offense or sexually violent offense. 34-A M.R.S. § 11203(8) (2008). Conversely, ten-year registrants are those convicted and sentenced for committing a [s]ex offense. 34-A M.R.S. § 11203(5). Gross sexual assault, 17-A M.R.S. § 253(2)(H), the crime for which Poblete was convicted, is a sex offense, 34-A M.R.S. § 11203(6)(B), and Poblete has no prior criminal history. Although Poblete did not dispute the court's determination and has not pursued a challenge on appeal, based on our obvious error review, see State v. Cannell, 2007 ME 30, ¶ 6, 916 A.2d 231, 233-34, Poblete's conviction warranted classification as a ten-year registrant. Accordingly, we remand to the Superior Court with instructions to correct the judgment to reflect that Poblete is a ten-year registrant. The entry is: Remanded to the Superior Court to correct the judgment to properly reflect that Poblete is a ten-year registrant. As corrected, judgment affirmed.
