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 South Dakota - 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 South Dakota sex offenders list IS accessible on-line via the following link:

South Dakota Sex Offenders List Excerpt: "The Division of Criminal Investigation is mandated by state and federal laws to establish and maintain a registry of convicted sexual offenders living in South Dakota (SDCL 22-22-31 through 22-22-41). The purpose of the sex offender registry is to track the location of a class of offenders that, by nature of their crimes, pose an ongoing risk to public safety."
