The court granted the motion to dismiss the indictment against Harvey Joe Deese, who was charged with failing to update his sex offender registration as required by SORNA. The court found that prosecuting Deese under SORNA violated the Ex Post Facto Clause because his interstate travel occurred before SORNA's enactment. The court referenced its previous ruling in United States v. Sallee and concluded that the indictment must be dismissed.
