Info About Sex Offenders
Information about a sex offender is available to the public only if he/she has a duty to register and he/she has been finally classified by the Board as a Level 2 or a Level 3 Offender.

Attorney General, 434 Mass. 418 (2001) in which the Court concluded that the Sex Offender Registry ("Board") can require an offender to provide his or her home and work address prior to providing the offender a hearing to determine whether or not the offender had to register. In addition, the SJC concluded that the Board can transmit this data, and other data regarding the offender, to police departments prior to the offender having the opportunity to challenge the recommended classification at an administrative hearing. Police departments, however, cannot disseminate this information to the public until the Board classifies the offender and the offender has an opportunity to challenge that recommended classification at an administrative hearing. The SJC's decision reversed a Superior Court judge's November 5, 1999 order that prohibited the Board from requiring an offender to register until the Board offered him/her the opportunity for a hearing ...
