WASHINGTON SEX OFFENDERS

COST OF REPORT:  $9.95   [ORDER ONLINE]

The term "sex offender" refers to any person convicted of Rape, Rape of a Child, Child Molestation, Sexual Misconduct with a Minor, Sexual Violation of Human Remains, Incest, Communication with a Minor for Immoral Purposes, a Felony with a finding of sexual motivation, or a Federal out-of-state conviction that, under Washington State Law, would be classified as a felony sex offense. See RCW# 9A.44, 9A.64.020, 9.68A.090, 9.94A.127, and 13.40.135.

Any adult or juvenile who has been convicted of any sex offense (listed above) after February 28, 1990, or who is on active supervision for a sex offense; or who has been committed as a sexually violent predator must register.

The duration of an offender's duty to register is based up on the original offense:

Class A Felony: May stop registering only upon the petition of the superior court.

Class B Felony: Fifteen years from the last date of release from confinement or entry of the judgement and sentence; if the person has spent 15 consecutive years in the community without being convicted of any new offenses.

Class C Felony: Ten years from the last date of release from confinement or entry of the judgement and sentence; if the person has spent 10 consecutive years in the community without being convicted of any new offenses.

Petition of Court: Any person having the duty to register, or an offender having the duty to register for a sex offense when the offender was a juvenile, may petition the superior court to be relieved of that duty.

Police Departments have no legal authority to direct where sex offenders may or may not live. Unless court-ordered restrictions exist, the offender is constitutionally free to live wherever he or she chooses.

One of three risk levels is assigned to a sex offender based on the potential risk to reoffend. Past criminal history, conviction data, and psychological behavioral evaluations are considered:

Level I: Considered a Low Risk to reoffend.
Level II: Considered a Moderate Risk to reoffend.
Level III: Considered a High Risk to reoffend.

Level I: Information about Level 1 offenders shall be shared with other law enforcement agencies and, upon request, the Department may disclose relevant, necessary, and accurate information to any victim or witness to the offense and to any individual community member who lives near the residence where the offender resides, expects to reside, or is regularly found. Level I offenders MAY NOT be the subject of general public notification.

Level II: Relevant, necessary, and accurate information concerning Level II offenders may be disclosed to the public and private schools, child daycare centers, family daycare providers, businesses and organizations that serve primarily children, women or vulnerable adults, and neighbors and community groups near the residence where the offender resides, expects to reside, or is regularly found. Level II offenders MAY NOT be the subject of general public notification.

Level III: Relevant, accurate, and necessary information concerning Level III offenders MAY BE disclosed to the public at large.

The State Of Washington has strict laws that govern the information that can be disclosed about registered sex offenders. In accordance with these laws, we are able to provide the name, date of birth and physical description information for Level 2 offenders. Physical description information includes race, sex, height, weight, hair color and eye color. This same information is provided for Level 3 offenders along with the offense for which they've registered.

Level 1
The vast majority of registered sex offenders are classified as Level 1 offenders. They are considered at low risk to re-offend. These individuals may be first time offenders and they usually know their victims.

Level 2
Level 2 offenders have a moderate risk of re-offending. They generally have more than one victim and the abuse may be long term. These offenders usually groom their victims and may use threats to commit their crimes. These crimes may be predatory with the offender using a position of trust to commit their crimes. Typically these individuals do not appreciate the damage they have done to their victims.

Level 3
Level 3 offenders are considered to have a high risk to re-offend. They usually have one or more victims and may have committed prior crimes of violence. They may not know their victim(s). The crime may show a manifest cruelty to the victim(s) and these offenders usually deny or minimize the crime. These offenders commonly have clear indications of a personality disorder.

Disclaimer
The sex offender level is determined by the law enforcement agency in which the sex offender resides.

This information is updated regularly, to try to assure that it is complete and accurate.  However, this information can change quickly.  You are cautioned that the information provided in this site search is information of record and may not reflect the current residence, status, or other information regarding a registrant (offender).
       
Sex offenders have always lived in our communities; but it wasn't until the passage of the sex and child offender registration act that the law enforcement even knew where they were living. In many cases, this information is now available to enhance public safety and protection.
         
WARNING: Abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate or harass registered sex offenders will not be tolerated. Further, such abuse could potentially end the ability to provide this information. We believe the only person who wins if this ends is the offender, since sex offenders derive their power through secrecy.
