Sex Offender Registration
If you are convicted of a sex crime felony, you will face mandatory sex offender registration. This online database is available to the public. It includes your identity as well as information about your alleged crime. This will greatly impact where you can live and work as well as where you can go.
Sex offender registration is generally divided into categories based on the level of danger or threat you pose to the public. Level 1 is considered the lowest level of threat while Level 2 is considered a moderate threat. Level 3 is the most serious as it considers these offenders to have the likeliest possibility of committing a repeat offense.
