Why would you want to know? Rhetorical question really, but if you're not a parent, what would you do with the information?

I've just googled 'Sarah's law'. Check out https://www.forsarah.com - may have the info you're after - albeit not necessarily a balanced view.

I'm just curious, its a new law coming in and i am curious, the USA have had info available to all the public for years.

Thanks for the info, aparently you have to ask the police for info here and then they get back to you.

I guess they need to be confident that someone's not going to use the info to launch personal attacks. It's an abhorrent crime, there's no doubting that, but the events as experienced in Paulsgrove a few years back aren't the answer.

Why edit your post now you have found it? Others may need to find it too?

Title's still visible so you can see what Widelats' question was and the link to the website I found is still up as well. There wasn't any more info in the OP, really.

Don't forget that not all on the register are peadophiles.

Isn't it about time we were allowed to use the correct spelling of 'that' word.

Given that we can just spell it wrong, it's a bit silly having it filtered!!

Yes you do need to be careful. A drunken pee at 3am somewhere public can get you on it, so featuring doesn't necessarily mean someone needs bricks through the windows. News of the World readers please take note...

In fact the Sex Offenders Register covers such a wide range of things, any public availability of it would be very dangerous.

The one the OP probably really means is "List 99", which is the list of people specifically barred from working with children.

Basic info on both:

You will note that although it is known as the Sex Offender's Register, it also includes violence.
