MEGAN'S LAW

In 1996, California enacted "Megan's Law," which provides the public with photographs and descriptive information on serious sex offenders that reside in California. These offenders have been convicted of committing sex crimes and are required to register their whereabouts with local law enforcement. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has made this database of sex registrant information available for public viewing.
