Sex Offender Search and Lookup:
Persons who have been charged and found guilty of committing a criminal offense involving sexual misconduct are called sex offenders. These crimes include rape, sexual assault, sex trafficking, and child pornography. By law, these criminals are required to have their information registered in the state and national sex offender databases for public safety purposes.In Kentucky, the locals can find sex offenders residing in their area by visiting this website.
Please take note that some sex offenders may not update their registration. As such, you may encounter entries that list last known addresses.
Bail and Bondsman
Bail is when the court allows an accused individual to stay out of jail for the time being as he waits for his trial to start provided that he will be present at all of his scheduled court appearances. For some offenses, the judge may add another condition to the bail. He may require the individual or his family/friends to pledge money or property to the court for added assurance. If the individual fails to keep his appointment in court, whoever pledged the money or property will lose it and may be liable to pay more, depending on the type of bond that was given.
If an individual (or his family and friends) cannot make bail because of a lack of funds, he/she can hire a bondsman to act as a surety. The bondsman will be the one signing the bond and placing himself as the owner of the “debt” to the court if the defendant violates his bail conditions. A bondsman typically charges 10% of the bail amount and this fee is non-refundable.
In Kentucky, there are no bondsmen because the practice of commercial bail bonding is not allowed. 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). If a bondsman from out of state needed to arrest a fugitive currently hiding out in Kentucky, he will need to obtain a warrant first. Ky. Rev. Stat. § 440.270.
