Sex Offender Info

On July 1, 1997 a new law went into effect concerning Sex Offender Registration and Notification.  Under that law, convicted sex offenders must register for a period of time with their local county sheriffs.  Sex offenders are classified as 1) sexually oriented offenders, 2) habitual sex offenders, and 3) sexual predators.

The local sheriff's office is required to notify various entities when a sexual predator or a habitual sex offender, who the court determines is subject to community notification, moves into a specific geographical location.

The Scioto County Sheriff's office maintains a list of currently registered sex offenders residing in Scioto County.

The State of Ohio Attorney General's office also maintains a list of currently registered sex offenders residing in Ohio. This database is linked to all 88 of Ohio's sheriff's offices and all 32 correctional facility records offices operated by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.
