SAN DIEGO — Legislation that will lock up some convicted California sex offenders for life was signed Thursday by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Chelsea's Law was named for 17-year-old Chelsea King, who was murdered in San Diego in February. The King family moved to California from Naperville.

A convicted child molester was sentenced to life in prison without parole less than three months after killing King. He also pleaded guilty to murdering 14-year-old Amber Dubois.
