How long will I be placed on the List?

Will I be put on a Sex Offender Registry?

Being placed on a Sex Offender Registry depends on the type of crime that a person is charged and convicted of. Unfortunately, in only rare conditions will an individual be able to avoid being placed on a sex offender registry. Under § 14-208.6C “the period of registration required by any of the provisions of this Article shall be discontinued only if the conviction requiring registration is reversed, vacated, or set aside, or if the registrant has been granted an unconditional pardon of innocence for the offense requiring registration.”

No matter what your criminal offense, being placed on a Sex Offender Registry is a prison term within itself. Don’t let this happen to you. If you or a loved one is accused of a crime that will result in their name being placed on the Sex Offender Registry-List, it is important that you act soon, even before a charge is brought.
