Sex Offender Registry

C.R.S. 16-22-112(1) prohibits sex offender registry information to be used to inflict retribution or additional punishment upon the registrant. Vigilantism or using this information to harass, threaten, or intimidate is criminal behavior and will not be tolerated. Such actions can lead to arrest and prosecution.

The state sex offender registry includes only persons who:

• Have been convicted of certain acts of unlawful sexual behavior since July 1, 1991
• Are in compliance with the sex offender registry as a safeguard against perpetrators of sexual assault in their communities

The crime for which a person is convicted may not accurately reflect the level of risk.

The Sexual Offender Tracking and Registration (SOTAR) Website allows you to:

• Search for sex offenders in your neighborhood.
• Receive email notifications if an offender moves into your neighborhood.
