prove four things beyond a reasonable doubt:

First, that the defendant accepted (a) minor(s) into his care or

custody for the purpose of conducting activities in his or her residence.1

Second, that (name person) had previously been convicted of a

reportable offense for which he must register. If you find beyond a

resonable doubt that on (name date) in (name court), the defendant

was convicted of (name offense; e.g., second degree rape), then this

would constitute a reportable offense for which the defendant must

Third, that (name person) resided in the defendants residence. A

residence is established when the defendant does any of the following:

as long as the person is lawfully entitled to remain on the premises

purchase the residence] [entered into a written lease contract for the

residence and for as long as the person is lawfully entitled to remain on

the premises].

registrant2 or was required to register as a registrant.

If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on

or about the alleged date, the defendant accepted a minor or minors

into his or her care or custody for the purpose of conducting activities in

his or her residence, that (name person) had previously been convicted

of a reportable offense for which he must register, that (name person)

resided in the defendant's residence, and that the defendant knew that

(name person) was a registrant or was required to register as a

registrant, it would be your duty to return a verdict of guilty. If you do

not so find or have a reasonable doubt as to one or more of these

things, it would be your duty to return a verdict of not guilty.
