Megan's Law
Pennsylvania's General Assembly has determined that public safety will be enhanced
by making information about registered sex offenders available to the public
through the Internet. Knowledge whether a person is a registered sex
offender could be a significant factor in protecting yourself,
your family members, or persons in your care from
recidivist acts by registered sex offenders.
Public access to information about registered sex offenders is intended solely
as a means of public protection.
WARNING
ANY PERSON WHO USES THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN TO THREATEN,
INTIMIDATE, OR HARASS THE REGISTRANT OR THEIR FAMILY, OR WHO
OTHERWISE MISUSES THIS INFORMATION, MAY BE SUBJECT TO
CRIMINAL PROSECUTION OR CIVIL LIABILITY.

entered a plea of guilty to, or adjudicated delinquent of certain sex
offenses listed in 42 Pa.C.S. §§ 9795.1 and 9795.2. Additionally,
the Pennsylvania State Police is required to make certain
information on registered sex offenders available to
the public through an Internet website.
The Pennsylvania State Police has established this website according to the requirements of 42 Pa.C.S. § 9798.1.
