Definition of Offenses

Definitions of offenses may be found in the District of Columbia Code (DC Code), which is linked below. To view a printed version of the DC Official Code, visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Library at 9th and G Streets, NW, or contact them at (202) 727-1111. Versions of the DC Official Code are also available online via the links below.

Please note: Not all definitions listed in the DC Code will match the offenses described in a sex offender's conviction. This may occur because an individual was convicted in another state, or because the law under which an individual was convicted has been repealed.
