Re: registered sex offenders

Sex offenders are generally required to register with local law enforcement within 10 days of their discharge from the criminal justice system, provided the Judge imposed that requirement at time of sentencing. Not all do.

If you have specific reliable information that a convicted sex offender is required to register and has not, report that to your local sheriff or other law enforcement agency. Be sure your information is correct, a wrong report could cause you [and them] a great deal of trouble.
