The State of California enacted "Megan's Law", giving residents access to certain information about "serious" and "high risk" registered sex offenders. Information on sex offenders classified as "other" or whose sex offense was adjudicated in juvenile court is not subject to public disclosure.

Sex offender information in the Department of Justice "Megan's Law" database is now available to the public online by visiting the State of California - Department of Justice and Megan's Law Home. Search results will provide the registrant's physical description, last known address, a map of the location, and the specific sex offense(s) that required the person to register.
