Abstract:

By a 2008 state law, registered sex offenders are barred from using social networking sites. A Durham resident, Lester Gerard Packingham Jr., is a registered sex offender and recently challenged the law by opening a Facebook account under a pseudonym. Packingham is challenging the law based on its constitutionality of free speech and is now in the North Carolina Court of Appeals.
