West Virginia Sex Offenders List Excerpt: "The West Virginia Sex Offender Registry was created by the Legislature in 1993. The Registry is located at State Police Headquarters in South Charleston. West Virginia currently has over 1400 registered sex offenders. It is the intent of this law to assist law enforcement agencies efforts in protecting the public from sex offenders by requiring sex offenders to register with the state police detachment in the county where they will reside, and by making certain information about sex offenders available to the public."

Other Registries

Although you can get registered sex offender information directly from a State Sex Offenders List like that of West 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.
