State v. Stokes, 216 N.C. App. 529 (Nov. 1, 2011)

The trial court erred by ordering lifetime SBM. The trial court concluded that the defendant was not a sexually violent predator or a recidivist and that although the offenses involved the physical, mental, or sexual abuse of a minor, he did not require the highest possible level of supervision and monitoring. The trial court’s finding that the defendant did not require the highest possible level of supervision and monitoring did not support its order requiring lifetime SBM.
