How does the sexual offender registry affect children?
Legislation mandated that any child under seventeen but older than seven found guilty of or pleading to either CSC I or CSC II must be entered on the registry for private use and verify quarterly for life. Their entry moves to the public listings when they turn eighteen. Children of the same ages with respect to CSC III and CSC IV are placed on the private registry for twenty-five years and also must verify while on that list quarterly.
