Megan's Law Attorney San Francisco

 

Megan's Law is a California law which requires that information about sex offenders be made publicly accessible. When an individual is found guilty of a sex crime against a child in California, he or she may be required to register as a sex offender with the state. While this information used to remain private for the most part, today the public has access to state sex offender records through Megan's Law. This information is available online through the California Department of Justice's internet website.


Information Available


Anyone who is required to register as a sex offender in California must include certain personal information and must update this information with the state as it changes. Some of the items made public in the sex offender listing include:


• Given name
• Home address
• Zip code, city, and county of residence
• Photograph of offender
• Nature of the crime committed
• Map showing the location of the offender's house


California Registration and Notification


According to the California Department of Justice website, the sex offender database contains information on over 63,000 offenders in the state, which offenders must update on a regular basis. If a registered offender decides to move to a new residence, he or she must report this change with the state. Depending on the severity of the conviction, the offender may be required to notify the state of changes for at least 10 years or permanently.


Legal Defense


Anyone convicted of a sex crime has the right to a defense. The burden of proof to show that the crime was committed rests on the prosecution, meaning that the defendant charged with the crime remains innocent until proven guilty by substantial evidence. This is an area of law that is particularly suseptible to heresay and to unsubstatiated accusations.  Although serious, these cases are successfully defended through a variety of well developed legal strategies.
