Facts About Sex Offenders:

Most sexual assaults are committed by someone the victim knows. A stranger does not pose the highest risk to you. 80-95% of sex offenders are known to their victims and include relatives, friends, and authority figures.

Less than 16% of sex crimes are reported to the police. Most convicted sex offenders are supervised and managed by community supervision teams consisting of Criminal Justice Officers (probation, parole, community corrections staff), polygraph examiners and treatment providers. While sex offenders cannot be cured, it is believed that some can be managed.

C.R.S 16-22-112(1) prohibits sex offender registry information to be used to inflict retribution or additional punishment upon the registrant.
