Who Will Know That I Am A Sex Offender?
Answer
If you have been convicted of sexual assault or aggravated sexual assault, you will face severe penalties. A common penalty is being required to register as a sex offender, a record publicizing that you committed a sex crime. This record will include your address as well as other personal information that will affect your future opportunities. The general public will be privy to the information listed on The State Sex Offender Registry. Anyone who searches sex offenders in a particular area may view your picture and personal information.
