context: . A number of jurisdictions have held that the failure by the court to advise a person who pleads guilty to a sexual offense that is specified in a sex offender registration statute does not provide grounds for allowing withdrawal of the plea. On the other hand, other jurisdictions either judicially or legislatively require pre-plea advisement in all sex offender registration cases.
