Registered Sex Offenders

 

 

 

The “Sexual Offender Registration Notification and Community Right-to-Know Act” was established in 1998 by the Idaho State Legislature with the intent to make information about offenders who had committed sexual offenses available to the public. With this information, citizens could guard their children with heightened awareness and partner with law enforcement to aid in monitoring these offenders.

There are three classifications of sex offenders in Idaho:

 

1. Registered Sex Offender: An adult who is charged with one or more of the following felony charges (See Idaho State Code 18-8304):

• Sexual battery of a minor child sixteen or seventeen years of age

• Enticing a child over the internet

• Second degree kidnapping where the victim is an unrelated minor child

• Rape
