The Alaska Sex Offenders Law came after the sexual assault and murder of Megan Kanka in New Jersey. Megan’s death in the hands of a re-offending sex offender got the attention of legislators in Alaska.
Alaska Sex Offenders law protects the State from such tragedy. The law also prevents sex offenders from re-offending after their first release from custody.
The law states that sex offenders must report regularly to a law enforcement agency in the state. Offenders should provide valid information on their home address.
The law restricts registered sex offenders from specific areas in the state. Areas like bars, parks, and public places are out-of-bounds for sex offenders. Sex offenders are also made to live within a defined distance from public spaces like schools and parks.
The law makes sure every offender in the state registers his information with the Registry. This information will assist in protecting public safety.
