Please read the following important reminders before continuing on to the Sex Offender Registry.
The Sex Offender Registration Act of 1999 authorizes the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) to establish and maintain the sex offender registry for the District of Columbia. The Law authorizes the Metropolitan Police Department to release sex offender information to the public.
The Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency updates this information regularly in an effort to assure that the registry is complete and accurate. However, the Metropolitan Police Department and the District of Columbia cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Data contained in the registry may be primarily based upon information furnished by the offender (registrant). This information can change quickly. Offenders may have moved and failed to notify CSOSA as required by law.
Persons who have been arrested or charged with a sex offense are not required to register unless the arrest or charge results in a conviction or a finding of not guilty by reason of insanity. Juveniles adjudicated (not charged or convicted as adults) of sexual abuse offenses are not required to register and will not appear on the registry.
Please see the Sex Offender Registration* for a list of those offenses requiring registration. For specific language pertaining to DC sexual abuse statutes, see Definition of Offenses.
