Sex Offender Registry
| In accordance to the "Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act" of
2000, which amends the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually
Violent Offender Registration Act, the Jeanne Clery Act and the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the Virginia Tech Police
Department is providing a link to the Virginia State Police Sex Offender
Registry. This act requires institutions of higher education to issue a
statement advising the campus community where law enforcement information
provided by a Stat concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained. It
also requires sex offenders already required to register in a State to
provide notice of each institution of higher education in that State at
which the person is employed, carries a vocation, or is a student. In the
Commonwealth of Virginia, convicted sex offenders must register with the Sex
Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry maintained by the Department of
State Police. The Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry (SOR) for VIOLENT SEX OFFENDERS is available via Internet pursuant to Section 19.2-390.1 , (D), of the Code of Virginia. Registry information provided under this section shall be used for the purposes of the administration of criminal justice, screening of current or prospective employees, volunteers or otherwise for the protection of the public in general and children in particular. Unlawful use of the information for purposes of intimidating or harassing another is prohibited and willful violation shall be punishable as a Class 1 misdemeanor. The Virginia State Police is responsible for maintaining this registry. Follow the link below to access the Virginia State Police website. |
