Purpose

This information is made available for the purpose of complying with 13 V.S.A. section 5401 et seq., which requires the Department of Public Safety to establish and maintain a registry of persons who are required to register as sex offenders and to post electronically information on sex offenders. The registry is based on the legislature's decision to facilitate access to publicly available information about persons convicted of sexual offenses.

This service does not contain the names of all the registered sex offenders in Vermont. Please contact your local law enforcement agency or the Vermont Sex Offender Registry at 802-241-5400 (vtsor@state.vt.us) for further information.

Content Disclaimer & Usage

Any person who uses information in this registry to injure, harass, or commit a criminal offense against any person included in the registry or any other person is subject to criminal prosecution.

Except for offenders specifically designated on this site as HIGH-RISK, the Department of Public Safety has not considered or assessed the specific risk of re-offense with regard to any individual prior to his or her inclusion within this registry and has made no determination that any individual included in the registry is currently dangerous. The main purpose of providing this data on the internet is to make information more easily available and accessible, not to warn about any specific individual.

The Director, or a designee, will investigate and resolve the alleged discrepancy within 3 business days of receipt of the complaint.
