California Sex Offenders List

Search California

Public access to information about sex offenders in the United States is the result of (1) the Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, (2) the Pam Lychner Sexual Offender Tracking and Identification Act and (3) Megan's Law, which require states - like California - to release relevant information about registered sex offenders to protect the public.

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

California Sex Offenders List Excerpt: "California for more than 50 years has required dangerous sex offenders to register with their local law enforcement agencies. However, information on the whereabouts of these sex offenders was not available to the public until the implementation of the Child Molester Identification Line in July 1995. The information available was further expanded by California's Megan's Law in 1996 (Chapter 908, Stats. of 1996)."

Although you can get sex offenders list information directly from almost all state government web sites, you'll probably find it easier to do a free search or a paid search of several sex offenders list databases:
