Sex Offender Registry and Access to Related Information

The federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act went into effect on October 28, 2002.

The law requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising the campus community where state law enforcement agency information concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained.

It also requires the sex offenders, already registered in a state, provide notice to each institution of higher education in that state, as to where the person is employed, carries on a vocation, or is a student.

Pennsylvania's Megan's Law, 42 Pa.C.S. 9799.1, requires the State Police to create and maintain a registry of persons who have either been convicted of, entered a plea of guilty to, or been adjudicated delinquent of certain sex offenses.

Additionally, the Pennsylvania State Police are required to make certain information on registered sex offenders available to the public through an Internet website.

Information regarding registered sex offenders on the campus of Cabrini University may be obtained at www.pameganslaw.state.pa.us.
