Text: As mentioned on page 828, 129 P.3d on page 35, ante, subdivision (a)(2)(E) of section 290 gives a trial court discretion to order lifetime registration as to any offender even if the defendant was not convicted of a sexual offense if the court finds that the person committed the offense as a result of sexual compulsion or for purposes of sexual gratification. Because of our holding that section 290's lifetime registration requirement cannot be constitutionally applied to defendant, the matter should be remanded to the trial court so it can determine whether defendant falls within the discretionary registration category described in subdivision (a)(2)(E) of section 290 as discussed at page 828, 129 P.3d at p. 35, ante; if he does, the trial court may, in its discretion, order defendant to register as a sex offender under that provision.
