Understanding the California Sex Offender Registry
Regardless of the criminal penalties, a sex crimes conviction will change your life forever. In most cases, California law requires that an individual convicted of a sex offense must register with local law enforcement as a sex offender, and renew that registration every year for life. Failure to do so is a crime. In addition, specified sex offenders must have their photograph and personal identifying information, including home address, published on the Internet. This is known as Megan's Law.
The attorneys at The Law Offices of Timothy B. Rien have protected the rights of the accused since the California sex offender registry was developed and have successfully defended against requirements of registration and posting on the Internet. The firm serves clients in the Livermore, Pleasanton Judicial District of Alameda County and throughout Northern California.

California real estate brokers routinely disclose the locale of registered sex offenders to prospective buyers of real estate.
