Nebraska has to pay up. A federal judge is ordering the state to pay more than $290,000 in attorney fees for a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of three Nebraska sex offender laws.

Those laws were passed in 2009, but put on hold because of the lawsuit.

In October, a federal judge struck down parts of a law making it a crime for some sex offenders to use social networking sites.
