Sex Offender
Registry Information
The Oklahoma Sex Offender
Registry, maintained by the Oklahoma Department of
Corrections, provides public information on sex
offenders required to register pursuant to the Sex
Offenders Registration Act, 57 O.S. 581-590. The Act
applies to any person residing, working, or attending
school within the state who has been convicted or
received any probationary term for a sex crime in the
state after November 1, 1989, or has entered the state
after November 1, 1989, having previously been convicted
or received any probationary term for a sex crime. State
law designates certain sex offenders as habitual (two or
more sex crime convictions) or aggravated (convicted of
the most serious kinds of sex offenses) and these
offenders are flagged accordingly on this site. Habitual
and aggravated offenders are required to register for
their lifetime and all other sex offenders are required
to register for ten years following expiration of their
sentence.
Failure to register and
comply with the Act is a felony offense punishable by up
to five years in prison. The Oklahoma Sex Offender
Registry provides information to the public and law
enforcement in the interest of public safety. The
Oklahoma Department of Corrections has not considered or
assessed the specific risk of re-offense with regard to
any individual prior to his or her inclusion on this web
site and has made no determination that any individual
included on the web site is currently dangerous.
Individuals on the registry are included solely by
virtue of their conviction record and state law. The
primary purpose of providing this information is to make
the information easily available and accessible. In
Oklahoma sex offenders are required to register with the
Department of Corrections and with their local law
enforcement agency.
In addition to checking
this site, you should visit the
Oklahoma Sex and Violent Crime Offender Registry -
web page. The
Oklahoma Department of Corrections updates the registry
daily to provide the most complete and accurate
information. Through regular correspondence and
cooperation with local police departments and sheriff's
offices, address and other information is updated to
ensure its validity and timeliness. However, information
changes quickly and much of the information contained in
a registration record has been provided by the
registrant. Neither the Oklahoma Department of
Corrections nor your local police department or
sheriff's office can guarantee the accuracy of this
information at all times. Habitual and aggravated sex
offenders are required to verify their home address
every ninety days, and all other sex offenders have to
do so at least once a year. It is common for offenders
to move and fail to notify the Department of Corrections
or their local law enforcement agency of their new
address. Reliance on any information provided herein is
at the user's sole risk. The Oklahoma Department of
Corrections shall not be responsible for any use or
reliance on information provided, or the lack of any
information present that might result in injury or
damage of any kind. Sex offender registry information
shall not be used to retaliate against the registrants,
their families, or their employers in any way.
Vandalism, verbal or written threats of harm are illegal
and will result in arrest and prosecution. |
