Do criminal laws treat first and repeat sexual offenders differently?
What About Sexual Offender Registration Requirements? The law allows courts to extend incarceration and supervision periods for individuals designated a persistent dangerous sexual offender, persistent serious sexual offender, persistent serious felony offender, or persistent felony offender when they determine that an offender’s history, character, and the nature and circumstances of his criminal conduct warrant it. And it deems it a parole violation when a released offender ordered to undergo sex offender treatment refuses to acknowledge committing the acts that led to his conviction (CGS 53a-40). With a few exceptions, non-violent offenders in Connecticut must register with the Department of Public Safety (DPS) and keep the department apprised of their whereabouts for 10 years after they are released from prison; violent or repeat offenders must do this for life (CGS 54-251, -252, and -254). A “persistent dangerous sexual offender” is a person awaiting sentencing for sexual assault
