Nevada Sex Offenders Registry - Nevada Sex Offenders database
Nevada Sex Offenders Registry
The state of Nevada recently amended its Nevada Sex Offenders Registry law to align with the Adam Walsh Child Protection Act of 2006. The law protects the residents of Nevada from convicted sex offenders in the state. Sex offenders in Nevada must upon their release from jail register with the state’s department of justice.
Offenders on pardon or parole must also register after their sentence by the department of justice.
The recent amendment classifies sex offenders in Nevada into 3 tiers:
Tier 1 sex offenders (Low-risk offenders)
Tier 2 sex offenders (Moderate- risk offenders)
Tier 3 sex offenders (High-risk offenders)
Classification of sex offenders in Nevada depends on 2 factors:
The age of the victim
The nature of sex crime
Offenders convicted before, whose victim is under the age of 13, must register under Tier 3 offenders. A sex offender with no previous conviction, whose victim is under 14 years, registers under Tier 2 offenders. All other offenders are under the Tier 1 class.
The frequency of verification depends on the new classification. According to the new amendment;
Tier 1 offenders must report every 12 months
Tier 2 offenders must report every 180 days
Tier 3 offenders must report every 90 days
Also, the duration of registration depends on the class of offenders:
Tier 1 offenders register for 15 years
Tier 2 offenders register for 25 years
Tier 1 offenders register for a lifetime
