Thread (Discussion): Question about online registry

The public may, without limitation, obtain access to the Internet registry to view an individual registration record, any part of, or the entire Internet registry concerning all offenders whose risk of reoffense is moderate; however, the individual registration record of an offender whose risk of reoffense has been determined to be moderate will not be made available to the public on the Internet registry if the sole sex offense committed by the offender which renders him or her subject to the registration requirements is one of the following:
(1) an adjudication of delinquency for any sex offense;
(2) a conviction or acquittal by reason of insanity for sexual assault, aggravated criminal contact, or criminal contact under circumstances in which the offender was related to the victim by blood or affinity to the third degree or was a foster parent, a guardian, or stood in loco parentis within the household; or
(3) a conviction or acquittal by reason of insanity for sexual assault, aggravated criminal contact, or criminal contact in any case in which the victim assented to the commission of the offense but by reason of age was not capable of giving lawful consent.
These exceptions will not apply, however, if the State establishes by clear and convincing evidence that, given the particular facts and circumstances of the offense and the characteristics and propensities of the
offender, the risk to the public posed by the offender is substantially similar to that posed by offenders whose risk of reoffense is moderate and who do not qualify under the exceptions.
