Level 3 Sex Offender
Classification of Sex Offenders
The classification of registered sex offenders is based on the crime committed and the likelihood of recidivism. Level 3 (L3) sex offenders are the most abhorrent of all, as they commit sexual offences of a higher degree, such as rape, aggravated sexual abuse, and sexual acts with pre-pubescent minors. They have a higher chance of re-offending than other sex offenders. ..
L3 sex offenders are those who pose the greatest risk to public security. They are awarded the highest custodial sentences. Level 1 sex offenders are those who commit less serious crimes, such as possession of illegal pornography, public indecency etc., and are unlikely to re-offend. Level 2 sex offenders, in the eyes of the law, are those who have a higher likelihood of re-offending and thus pose a moderate risk to the security of the public. Level 2 sex offenders commit offences such as distribution/publication of child pornography, indulging in sexual acts with minors aged 12-15 years etc. ..
Publicly Available Information
The Megan’s Law Federal Law in the USA requires the law enforcement agencies to make the information about the sex offenders publicly accessible. Level 3 Sex offenders are mandated to be registered in the Sex Offender Registry for their entire lifetime and information about them is publicly available. L2 Sex Offenders are registered in the registry for some fixed time and after that, they can file a petition for removal of their name from the registry. Information about L2 offenders is also publicly available.
L1 Sex offenders are required to be registered in the Sex Offender Registry for the least amount of time and their information is only available to the State Authorities and Police Personnel and not to the public. L1 Sex Offenders must update their registration in the Sex Offender Registry every year, whereas L2 Offenders must do it every 180 days and L3 Offenders every 90 days. The information about the L2 and L3 Sex Offenders is publicly available to maintain the security of the society and to act as a deterrent against the possibility of future offences being by the Offenders.
Limitations Imposed Upon Level 3 Sex Offenders
The registration of L3 sex offenders is a requirement in order for them to live and work in states where they are known to be present. These states also have specific travel restrictions in place for these offenders, as they are only allowed to travel within the state where they have registered. L3 sex offenders are not allowed to take up any job that involves contact with children or minors. They must also register themselves with the Sex Offender Registry of the destination state in order to do so.
