DISCLAIMER

YOU MUST READ AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE DISCLAIMER AND INFORMATION BELOW BEFORE ENTERING CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER SITE

The Colorado sex offender registry includes only those persons who have been required by law to register and who are in compliance with the sex offender registration laws. Persons should not rely solely on the sex offender registry as a safeguard against perpetrators of sexual assault in their communities. The crime for which a person is convicted may not accurately reflect the level of risk.  The La Plata County Sheriff’s Office has not considered or assessed the specific risk that any convicted sex offender displayed on this website will commit another offense or the nature of any future crimes that may be committed.

In compliance with House Bill 05-1035:

A local law enforcement agency may post on its website sex offender registration information of a person from its registration list only if a person is:

• An adult convicted of a felony requiring the adult to register pursuant to section 16-22-103, C.R.S.; or
• An adult convicted of a second or subsequent offense of any of the following misdemeanors:
• Sexual assault as described in section 18-3-402 (1) (e), C.R.S.;
• Unlawful sexual contact as described in section 18-3-404, C.R.S.;
• Sexual assault on a client as described in section 18-3-405.5 (2), C.R.S.;
• Sexual exploitation of a child by possession of sexually exploitive material as described in section 18-6-403(3) (B.5), C.R.S.;
• Indecent exposure as described in section 18-7-302, C.R.S; or
• Sexual conduct in a penal institution as described in section 18-7-701, C.R.S.; or
• A juvenile adjudicated for two or more offenses involving unlawful sexual behavior or for a crime of violence as defined in section 18-1.3-406, C.R.S.; or
• A juvenile who is required to register pursuant to section 16-22-103, C.R.S. because he or she was adjudicated for an offense that would have been a felony if committed by an adult and has failed to register as required by section 16-22-103, C.R.S.
