New York’s Sex Offender Registration Act

Sex offenses can come with very significant consequences. If convicted, you will most likely have to register as a sex offender, as well as spend multiple years in jail. In New York State, the Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA) requires that all sex offenders register with the state registry. This registry will provide the community with information regarding any sex offenders. There are three levels of sex offenders that dictate how long individuals will stay on the registry. The breakdown of sex offender levels is as follows:

• Level 1 offenders are low risk and will be placed on a private registry that is only accessible to law enforcement registries for 20 years.
• Level 2 offenders are moderate-risk offenders who will be placed on a public registry for life.
• Level 3 offenders are high-risk offenders who will also remain on a public registry for life.
