- noting that \classifying Appellant as a sex offender is reasonably related to the legitimate state purpose of protecting the public and aiding law enforcement in limiting the risk that sex offenders pose to communities\
- holding the right to privacy does not extend to information about sexual offenses and finding the Act bears a rational relationship to the \legitimate state purpose of protecting the public and aiding law enforcement\
- declining to apply strict scrutiny because sex offense information was part of public record through registration in another state
- affirming as constitutional the requirement that appellant register on the South Carolina Sex Offender Registry for an offense he committed in Colorado when the equivalent offense, if committed in South Carolina, would not have triggered the requirement
- noting \[e]very state requires sex offenders to register\
