The state I have chosen to talk about is Utah, having lived there for 18 years it seems like a good state to get to know more about with the sex offender registry. Topic 1 In the state of Utah there are many things that can land you onto the state sex offender registry. For example, what can land you on the list for up to 10 years is: kidnapping, lewdness involving a child, voyeurism, unlawful sexual conduct with a 16 or 17 year-old, and aggravated human trafficking. These are just some things that only require a first time offense. While lewdness and sexual battery require 4 convictions before you are placed on the offender registry for 10 years. But there is a rule to the 10-year list, that rule is if you commit or are charged with two

Offenders must also register AP&P board, even if they are not on parole anymore they must be registered with a local law enforcement entity either the sheriff’s office or police department. They must register every 6 months as well, once on their birthday and 6 months later they must be registered again. In their registration the requirements again may be different depending on the severity of the case or the rules of AP&P or the local law enforcement. Along with the other rules you must also re register with the sex offender registry within three days of every address change. The offenders must also register their cars, business they may open, places of employment and even their schools they may attend and get them approved from the AP&P or local law enforcement …show more content…
In some of my research that I have done about the Utah sex offender registry it actually seems that Utah is the most relaxed. I think it is fair to have requirements to stay away from minors, and their families. It is fair because they committed a crime and they should have to live with the consequences. They must go through the AP&P board to regain the trust again, before they are allowed to get off of the registry. Of course this is only allowed if you fall under the 10 year offenses. Utah allows, if you are not charged with having to register for a lifetime to be able to petition to be removed from the sex offender registry after 10 years. The following four single offenses (like I stated before if there were two of the same offense then you must register as a life time sex offender) are able to be petitioned to be removed after being on the list for ten years. These four offenses are kidnapping, unlawful detention, unlawful sexual activity with a 16 or 17-year-old, and finally unlawful sexual activity with a minor. While not the most severe of offenses that are on the list I still find it interesting that kidnapping and unlawful sexual activity with a minor are offenses that allow you to be able to get off of the sex offender registry after 10 years. But the State of Utah does have some requirements before you can actually petition to be released off of the list, such as if you had
