Present:  Ireland, C.J., Spina, Cordy, Botsford, Gants, Duffly, & Lenk, JJ.       Sex Offender.  Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification Act.  Constitutional Law, Sex offender, Self‑incrimination.  Due Process of Law, Sex offender, Continuance.  Evidence, Sex offender, Acquittal in prior criminal trial.  Practice, Civil, Sex offender, Continuance.  Administrative Law, Agency’s authority.       Civil action commenced in the Superior Court Department on April 22, 2010.   The case was heard by Robert C.
