We can, however, release the names of those who have failed to register. Failing to register is a crime that the Nez Perce County Sheriff's Office is active in pursuing. This law went into effect July 1, 1998.
Registration includes completion of detailed forms, fingerprints and photographs.
All persons with a duty to register will have to re-register annually, regardless of the date of the last registration. Along with this duty to register, the new law allows the release of sexual offender information to the public upon written request from either the Bureau of Criminal Identification or the Sheriff's Office. This information is made available for the purpose of protecting the public. It is not to be used for the purpose of harassing or intimidating anyone. A person who uses registry information to commit a criminal act against another person is subject to arrest and prosecution under Section 18-8326, Idaho Code.
