Under the laws of all states in this country, if a person has been convicted of a sexually related crime, he or she is required to register as a sex offender with the authorities in the community where he or she resides. Law enforcement then posts such on the internet.
The registered sex offender does not have to tell a person he or she is registered as such with the exception of law enforcement.
