Sex Offender Searches

A Sex Offender (also sexual offender, “sexual predator”sex abuser, or sexual abuser) is a person who has committed a sex crime. What constitutes a sex crime differs by culture and by legal jurisdiction, but offenses usually include child sexual abuse, downloading child pornography, rape, and statutory rape. The term sexual predator is often used to describe severe or repeat sex offenders.

In the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries, a convicted sex offender is often required to register with the respective jurisdiction’s sex offender registry. These registry databases are often open to the public in the US, though not in the UK. Sexual offenders are sometimes classified into levels[1]. The highest level offenders generally must register as a sex offender for their entire lives, whereas low-level offenders may only need to register for a limited time.
