Sex Offender Search and Lookup:

The state and national sex offender registries records all the information of sex offenders within the United States. All sex offenders are required by law to notify local law enforcement of any changes in their information in order for their files to be updated. One of the main purposes of these registries is to increase public awareness and safety. Sex offenders are generally defined as individuals who have been found guilty of committing a sex crime. While states may differ in their definition of a sex crime, the general definition is an illegal offense that involves sexual misconduct against an individual. Some examples are rape, molestation, and child pornography.

Residents of Kentucky can locate sex offenders living in the state by using the state’s sex offender registry here.

However, you must bear in mind that not all information in the database can be guaranteed as accurate since some sex offenders do not comply with the law. You may encounter entries listing last known addresses of offenders rather than current ones.

Bail and Bondsman

To secure the release of an inmate from custody or jail while he awaits trial, the defendant must pledge money or property to the court as part of his guarantee that he will appear before the court at his trial. This is called bail. If the defendant does not keep his promise, he loses the money or property and he is labeled a fugitive.

A bondsman is an agent who posts bail for defendants that lack money to do it themselves. He will also serve as a surety – held liable by the court to make the entire payment if the defendant does not present himself at his trial. A bondsman typically charges a non-refundable fee equal to 10% of the bail amount.

Practicing commercial bail bonding is outlawed in Kentucky. Ky. Stat. § 431.510 (outlawing commercial bail bond industry); see Stephens v. Bonding Assoc. of Kentucky, 538 S.W.2d 580 (Ky 1976) (upholding statute). A warrant is necessary if a bondsman from out of state wants to apprehend a fugitive hiding out in Kentucky. Ky. Rev. Stat. § 440.270.
