Illinois Compiled Statutes (730 ILCS
152/115 (a) and (b)) mandate that the Illinois State Police
("ISP") establish and maintain a statewide Sex Offender Database,
accessible on the Internet, identifying persons who have been
convicted of certain sex offenses and/or crimes against children
and must register as a Sex Offender.
Illinois
State Police Sex Offenders List
Persons required to register as Sex
Offenders are persons who have been charged of an offense listed
in Illinois Compiled Statutes 730 ILCS 150/2(B) when such charge
results in one of the following:
(a) A conviction for the commission
of the offense or attempt to commit the offense,
(b) A finding of not guilty by reason of insanity of committing
the offense or attempting to commit the offense, or
(c) A finding not resulting in an acquittal at a hearing for the
alleged commission or attempted commission of the offense.
The Sex Offender Registry was created
in response to the Illinois Legislature's determination to
facilitate access to publicly available information about persons
convicted of sex offenses. ISP has not considered or assessed the
specific risk of re-offense with regard to any individual prior to
his or her inclusion on this Registry and has made no
determination that any individual included in the Registry is
currently dangerous. Individuals included on the Registry are
included solely by virtue of their conviction record and Illinois
state law. The primary purpose of providing this information is to
make the information easily available and accessible, not to warn
about any specific individuals.
Anyone who uses this information to
commit a criminal act against another person is subject to
criminal prosecution.
ISP updates this information regularly
in an effort to assure that the information on the Registry is
complete and accurate; however, ISP makes no representation,
express or implied, that the information contained on the Registry
is accurate.
The information contained on the
Registry can change quickly so the current residence, status or
other information regarding an offender may not be accurate.
Though much of the information is of record, some information is
gathered from the offenders themselves who may fail to provide any
or accurate information. Additional information and verification
can be obtained from the local law enforcement agency where the
sex offender resides.
IF YOU BELIEVE THAT ANY OF THE
INFORMATION FOUND IN THESE RECORDS IS INACCURATE, PLEASE CONTACT
