Information on Registered Sex Offenders
Megan's Law is named after seven-year-old
Megan Kanka, a New Jersey girl who was raped
and killed by a known child molester who had
moved across the street her family without
their knowledge. In the wake of the tragedy,
the Kankas sought to have local communities
warned about sex offenders in the area. All
states now have a type of Megan's Law.
A new California law,
Assembly Bill 488 (Nicole Parra),
sponsored by the Attorney General now
provides the public with Internet access to
detailed information on registered sex
offenders.
California's Megan's Law provides the public
with certain information on the whereabouts
of sex offenders so that members of our
local communities may protect themselves and
their children.
