Some parts of Nebraska’s sex offender laws have been struck down in U.S. District Court.

The Associated Press reports one of the sections rejected had made it illegal for sex offenders of children to use social networking sites. Another section required sex offenders to report what they’d postings on Internet sites or blogs. The third subjected sex offenders to searches and monitoring of their computers and cellphones.

The laws amended the state’s Sex Offender Registration Act. The changes were passed in 2009 but put on hold as a result of the lawsuit against them in federal court.

Spokeswoman Shannon Kingery for Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning said Thursday that the office is reviewing the ruling and assessing the state’s options.
