Are all sex offenders considered “Predatory”?
No. The Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision (for parolees) and Community Corrections (for probationers) must make a finding of predatory, based on an assessment of the offender’s crimes and history. This assessment is based, in part, on previous history and the facts surrounding the sex offense conviction.
No, many sex offenders convicted of crimes associated with incestuous relations with family members do not meet the standard to be called “predatory.” The board must make a finding of predatory, based on an assessment of the offender’s crimes and criminal history, for offenders being released from prison. If the offender is sentenced to probation, the local community corrections office makes the finding if the offender is predatory or not.
