A new law that toughens restrictions on Nebraska's sex offenders is set to go on the books January first. On Wednesday, a federal judge left most of the law in place.
The changes allow searches of sex offenders' computers, cell phones and smart phones, as well as monitoring software on their computers.
The judge also allowed a ban on sex offenders using social networking sites like Facebook and My Space. But he ruled this doesn't affect sex offenders who have completed their sentences, parole or probation.
