Finding Local Sex Offenders

Because of Megan's Law, every state has now developed a database that lists sex offenders and their current reported addresses. This information seeks to inform and enhance the public's awareness of sexual offenders in the area. Convicted sex offenders are required by law to register with their local law enforcement agency. If they move to a new address, they typically have five days to update their registry information. For those people interested in finding local sex offenders, they can access various Websites with detailed registries on the Internet. They can also contact their local law enforcement registry.
