Rubin, J.
FACTS
Defendant had previously been convicted of rape, and understood that this required him to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. Defendant last registered with the Long Beach Police Department on September 7, 2010. He knew that his registration requirements included annually updating his registration shortly after his birthday, and notifying both the last registering agency and the new jurisdiction whenever he moved. Defendant admitted that he filed no registration after September 7, 2010. He left Long Beach in late September 2010 and went to San Francisco. He did not notify the Long Beach or San Francisco authorities of the move; nor did he file an annual registration around his birthday in 2011 or 2012. Defendant testified that he did not register because he feared for his life. He believed the police departments and the parole
