Can I apply for Exclusion from the Megan’s Law Internet Website?

In a previous blog, we introduced you to the various ways in which a registered sex offender can be eligible for exclusion from the Megan’s Law internet website. This included offenders who suffered a misdemeanor conviction for a violation of Penal Code Section 647.6, a felony conviction for a violation of Penal Code Section 243.3(a), or offenses where the offender was the victim’s parent, stepparent, sibling, or grandparent and the crime did not involve oral copulation or penetration of the vagina, etc. This is all due to the change in the law that went into effect on January 1, 2010. We will now continue with some of the requirements in order for one to be eligible for exclusion from the Megan’s Law internet website.

A registered sex offender convicted of one of the following offenses is also eligible for exclusion from the Megan’s Law internet website if he or she submits a certified copy of a probation report filed in court that clearly states that all victims involved in the commission of the offense were at least 16 years of age or older at the time of the commission of the offense:
– A felony violation of Penal Section 311.1(b), (c), or (d);
– A felony violation of Penal Section 311.2; or
– A felony violation of Penal Section 311.3; or
– A felony violation of Penal Section 311.4; or
– A felony violation of Penal Section 311.10; or
– A felony violation of Penal Section 311.11.

Also, if an otherwise eligible applicant commits a violation of his or her probation resulting in his or her incarceration in county jail or state prison subsequent to the filing of his or her application for exclusion from the Megan’s Law internet website, the offender’s application will be terminated.
