Virginia Sex Offenders List

Public access to the Virginia Sex Offenders List is the result of several acts passed by Congress, which require states - like Virginia - to release relevant information about registered sex offenders to protect the public.

Virginia Registry

Each state differs in terms of how it administers its community notification process. The Virginia sex offenders registry IS accessible on-line via the following link:

Virginia State Police

Virginia Sex Offenders List Excerpt: "The registry is based on the Virginia General Assembly's decision to facilitate access to publicly-available information about persons convicted of sexual offenses. The Virginia State Police has not considered or assessed the specific risk of reoffense with regard to any individual prior to his or her inclusion within this registry, and has made no determination that any individual included in the registry is currently dangerous. Individuals included within the registry are included solely by virtue of their conviction record and state law. The main purpose of providing this data on the Internet is to make the information more easily available and accessible, not to warn about any specific individual."

Other Registries

Although you can get registered sex offender information directly from a State Sex Offenders List like that of Virginia, in fact, from almost all state government web sites, you'll probably find it easier to do a free search or a full search of several other sex offender registries.
