RI Sex Offender Registration Laws

The local sex offender laws require all Rhode Island sex offenders to register, regardless of their offense level (i.e., the recidivism potential). The community must be informed when an offender is being released. If an ex-convict fails to register or disregards other rules and regulations, they face consequences and penalties.

RI Sex Offender Registry—Offender Levels and Community Notifications

According to Rhode Island’s Sex Offender Registration and Community Registration Act, the local police departments must inform the public when a sex offender of any level is being released. What the assigned levels determine is how the community notification will be conducted.

Here are the rules, depending on the offender level:

If they fail to inform the authorities of the changes, offenders will be prosecuted for a felony and may be imprisoned for up to ten years.

The registrants can also be put on trial if they disregard the residential restrictions prohibiting them from living within 300 feet of a school. If this happens, they can get up to five years in prison.

Searching the Sex Offender Registry, RI

RI Sex Offender Registry offers several manual search methods. They are arranged in tabs as follows:

1. In your area—search based on the offender’s addresses (the first four fields are required)
   1. Address
   2. City
   3. State
   4. ZIP
   5. ZIP plus
   6. Offender Address Type (Home Addresses checkbox)
2. Name—an offender’s name or alias
   1. First name
   2. Last name
3. City
4. Non-compliant

You can also apply to receive email notifications via the official RI Sex Offender website. The details you need to provide to set up these notifications are:

• Address

The manual search is time-consuming, and the website states that the email notifications might fail to reach you or can get lost in your Junk inbox easily.

Unlike many other states, Rhode Island Sex Offender Registry doesn’t have an offender map feature that would pinpoint the locations of all the offenders in your area.
