--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Special Considerations Under Missouri law, any person who moves into Missouri from another state and is registered in that state or would be required to register under Missouri law if the offense had been committed in Missouri and it is a registerable offense they must register as a sex offender. Persons living out of state but who work or attend school or training on a full-time or part-time basis or has temporary residence must also register as a sex offender. Part-time is considered 14 days in a 12-month period, required upon arrival and also when the offender leaves, such as no longer working or visiting or living temporarily in the state. If the time is less than 14 days per 12-month period, registration is not required in Missouri. Registration in Missouri is in the same manner as the primary states requirement, (semi-annual, or 90-day registration). With the following exception: If the offender is required to register on an annual basis in their state for an offense if committed in Missouri would require a 90-day registration; then they would be considered a 90-day registrant. Registration is based on an offense and/or the victim's age and states vary regarding registration requirements. Certain offenders may not reside within 1000 feet of any public or private school up to the 12th grade or childcare facility, which is in existence at the time of the offender establishing his or her residency. If the offender has already established residence and a public or private school or childcare facility is built or placed within 1000 feet of the offender's residence, the offender should notify the county sheriff within one week of the facility being opened. The offender has the responsibility of providing proof he/she had residence established prior to the new facility opening. Certain sexual offenders may not loiter within 500 feet of the real property of any school when a person younger than 18 is present without permission from the School Superintendent or School Board or Principal of a private school.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Penalties for failing to Register (589.425) For the first conviction of failing to register the offense is a class A misdemeanor or it is a class D felony if the offense requiring registration was an unclassified felony, a class A or B felony, or a felony involving a child under the age of 14. For a second conviction of failing to register the offense is a class D felony or a class C felony if the offense was an unclassified felony, a class A or B felony, or a felony involving a child under the age of 14. For a third conviction of failing to register the offender will serve a term of imprisonment not less than 10 and not more than 30 years. After release following third conviction electronic monitoring based upon a global positioning system or other technology will be used. If an offender was required to register semi-annually and is convicted of failing to register they automatically become a 90-day registrant, this change in registration will remain in effect for life. It will not be changed to back semi-annual.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Verifying Information Semi Annual registration takes place with all offenders in the month of their birth and 6 months thereafter and must provide updated photograph of him/herself during month of their birth. 90-day registrations take place when: Offenders are predatory or persistent sexual offenders When victims were under the age of 18 When offenders that have pled guilty or been found guilty of failing to register or submitting false information when registering. When a registrant changes residence or address within the same county, the person shall inform the CLEO of the county in writing within ten (10) days of his or her new address and telephone number. When a registrant changes residence or address to a different county or state, the individual shall appear in person and inform both the CLEO of the previous jurisdiction and the officer having new jurisdiction within ten (10) days of arrival. When a registrant changes residence, the CLEO of the county where the person was previously registered shall promptly complete a "Change of Address/Statement" form and submit it to the Missouri State Highway Patrol. When the registrant is changing their residence to a new state, the Missouri State Highway Patrol will inform the responsible official via letter in the new state of residence.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juvenile Registration Juvenile Sex Offenders are required to register with the juvenile office in the county in which they reside. Any state agency having supervision or any court having jurisdiction over a juvenile who is required to register as a juvenile sex offender shall register with the juvenile office of the county within ten (10) days of moving into the county. Juvenile officers shall maintain the registration forms on juvenile offenders in their jurisdiction. Information shall be kept confidential and released only to those persons and agencies that are authorized to receive information from juvenile court records as provided by law. A juvenile that is certified as an adult must register as an adult offender. The office of State Courts has a juvenile sex offender registration fingerprint card. Upon the juvenile turning age 21, the requirement for him or her to register shall be terminated. Exception: Unless the juvenile offender is required to register as an adult offender, such as when a juvenile has moved into Missouri from another state and is required to have community notification. Community notification would require the juvenile to register as an adult offender. Not all states have community notification. Community notification is generally addressed in state statute and may or may not be included in a state's sex offender registry requirements. For example, Missouri does not have community notification.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Removal from the Offender Registry Any person guilty of nonsexual child abuse, felonious restraint or kidnapping of a child victim and is the parent/guardian of the victim is removed from the offender registry. (589.400) Any person seeking removal from the sex offender registry must notify prosecutor in the court where the petition is filed, failure to notify results in automatic denial. Must wait 12 months before re-petitioning if denied by the judge. Prosecutor is to make reasonable efforts to notify the victim of the offender's petition to remove name. Exception: Any person under age 19 guilty of a sexual offense with a victim 13 or older with no physical force or threat of physical force (statutory rape in second degree) can petition the court to have his/her name removed from sex offender registry after two years.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Electronic Monitoring and Registration Probation and Parole has access to home computer information for a registered sex offender. (589.042) DOC must notify MSHP of any offender requiring electronic monitoring. RSMo 599.106 passed in 2005 provides for lifetime supervision and electronic monitoring for sexual offenders who: Committed the act on or after August 28, 2005 Had previously plead guilty or been found guilty of an offense in Chapter 566, RSMo Had plead guilty or has been found guilty of the following offense(s) where the victim is under 14: Rape Statutory rape Sodomy Statutory sodomy Child molestation Sexual misconduct involving a child Sexual abuse Enticement of a child Sexual trafficking of a child Incest Child used in a sexual performance Promoting sexual performance by a child When using a livescan device for taking fingerprints of an offender, the CLEO should retain a signed copy of the fingerprint card. This fingerprint card can be used if the offender fails to register.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sentencing and Penalty Provisions Imprisonment for a persistent sexual offender has increased from 30 years to life (558.018) Imprisonment for forcible rape and forcible sodomy with a victim under 12 has increased from 5 years to 30 years Offender found guilty of failure to register can no longer receive suspended imposition of sentence or suspended execution of sentence.
