The registry does not contain information on all sex
offenders. The information is limited by the effective date of the registry and
to those offenders who have been convicted of a crime specified in the registry
law. The registry does not contain information on those individuals whose
illegal sexual behaviors have not come to the attention of the authorities. This
listing refers to sexual offenses, and may not reflect the entire criminal
history of a particular individual.
Positive identification of a person believed to be a sex
offender cannot be established unless a fingerprint comparison is made.

WARNING: This information is made available for the purpose
of protecting the public. It is not to be used for the purpose of harassing or
intimidating anyone. A person who uses registry information to commit a criminal
act against another person is subject to arrest and prosecution.
It is the Legislature's intent that the sex offender
registration program is a public safety program, not a punitive or correctional
program. Any person who uses information from the registry to harm a registered
sex offender commits a crime and is guilty crime.
