What is the Sex Offender List?

What is the Sex offender List-Registry?

The North Carolina Sex Offender Registration has been enacted by the NC General Assembly and exists through the Police Power of the Constitution that is delegated to each State. Under § 14-208.6A, the North Carolina General Assembly has created two programs for Criminal Sex offenders, which requires each individual to register with local law enforcement in an effort to monitor and track each individual who is convicted of a qualifying act. The first program is named the Sex Offender and Public Protection Program and the second being the Sexually Violent Predator Registration Program.

This information is made available to the general public, foreign states, and the federal government, and may be used by third parties such as watchdog.com. If you or someone you know is being charged with a crime that may lead to their registration on the North Carolina Sex Offender Registry, it is imperative that you contact a private Criminal Attorney with experience in these issues. Being placed on this list not only can, but will tarnish an individuals life, by making their whereabouts and profile public information. Contact the Law Offices of David P. Sheehan today to speak to a Criminal Defense Attorney.
