                                DISSENTING OPINION

JUSTICE BAER                                          DECIDED: February 21, 2018
      I join that portion of Justice Mundy’s Dissenting Opinion which holds that this

Court’s decision in Commonwealth v. Wolfe, 140 A.3d 651 (Pa. 2016), requires a

conclusion that 42 Pa.C.S. § 9718(a)(3) cannot withstand constitutional scrutiny. See

Wolfe, 140 A.3d at 663 (“Section 9718 is irremediably unconstitutional on its face, non-

severable, and void.”).
