This website is provided as a result of recent
changes in KRS Chapter 17, Kentucky's version of "Megan's Law". The
Kentucky State Police is now providing sex/criminal offender
registration information to the public through this website. The intent
of this site is public safety and awareness. This database is made
available to alert possible victims of potential danger, not to punish
or embarrass offenders.
Convicted sex/criminal offenders have always lived in our communities,
only in recent years have laws been passed which have required these
offenders to register with authorities. Unfortunately, many convicted
offenders do re-offend. There is an overriding public interest and need
to ensure the safety of the public by providing registered offender
information. It is important to note that not all criminal offenses
require registration with the state police, only those covered by the
statute.
THE KENTUCKY STATE POLICE DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY OF THE
INFORMATION PROVIDED
UNDER KRS 525.070 & 525.080, USE OF INFORMATION FROM THIS WEBSITE TO
HARASS A SEX OFFENDER IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE PUNISHABLE BY UP TO 90 DAYS
IN THE COUNTY JAIL. MORE SEVERE CRIMINAL PENALTIES APPLY FOR MORE SEVERE
CRIMES COMMITTED AGAINST A SEX OFFENDER.
