Sex Offender Registry Rules

Summary

Sex offender registration requirements are based on the seriousness of the offense, not the age at the time of the offense. In Michigan, the Sex Offender Registry Act mandates registration for certain offenses, and age does not necessarily exempt one from this requirement. However, some juvenile offenders may be exempted based on the courts discretion. In North Carolina, juvenile records are typically confidential, but if tried as an adult, the record may remain. Judges may consider the time passed and behavior during that period. Consult a local attorney for specific advice.
