Most people convicted of sex crimes are required to register as sex offenders. The sex offender registry is publicly accessible and entails housing and employment restrictions. Depending on the severity of your offense, removal from the registry may not be an option. However, if you complete your required registration period and believe you qualify for removal, you must file a petition with the Henry County criminal court. An experienced McDonough sex crimes defense attorney is the best asset to have assisting you with this effort, and they will help you gather the evidence needed to make a compelling petition.
