Former NFL Player Awaiting Sex Offender Status in NY
Former NFL player Lawrence Taylor pleaded guilty in New York to sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute (who was underage). Taylor claims she said she was nineteen. He will be on probation for six years and have to register as a sex offender.
The Nevada Sex Offender Registry is a publicly accessible database of high-risk and moderate-risk convicted sex offenders in the state. The Nevada Sex Offender Registry only lists information about TIER 2 and 3 sex offenders, not TIER 1 or 0. In general, anyone convicted of a sex offense against a child has to register for some period of time, maybe life.
TIER 0 sex offenders are least likely to re-offend. TIER 1 offenders pose a slightly higher risk. TIER 2 offenders pose a moderate risk--they've typically been convicted of either child pornography, child prostitution or sexually abusing a child 13 or older. TIER 3 offenders pose a high risk of re-offending--they typically have been convicted of either rape, kidnapping, battery with intent to rape, sexual abuse of a child under 13, or murder. Defying an order to register on the Nevada Sex Offender Registry carries one to four years in prison and maybe a fine of up to $5,000.
