Sex Offender Registration

Establishment of The Sexual Offender Registry

U.S. Department of Justice statistics show that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men will experience some kind of sexual assault in their lifetime. Statistics also show that 67% of sexual assaults have victims under the age of 18.

Missouri implemented it’s own statewide Sex Offender Registration program in January 1995 in accordance with standards by the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender registration Act.

Missouri’s 2006 Supreme Court Ruling

On July 17, 2006 the Missouri Supreme Court upheld Megan’s Law to all individuals who were convicted, found guilty, or plead guilty to offenses (after January 1, 1995) requiring registration pursuant to 589.400 – 589.425 RSMo. The decision invalidates the duty to register for pre-1995 offenses.

Offenders who were convicted, found guilty, or plead guilty prior to January 1, 1995 are not required to be removed from the registry.

The Cass County Sheriff's Office will not remove offenders, however because they are no longer required to register the accuracy of address information cannot be validated therefore that information will be replaced with this message: **Pre 1995 conviction, current address unknown **
