Sex Offender Search and Lookup:

An individual is called as a sex offender when he is convicted of a sexually motivated crime. The crimes that fall under this classification can differ between states. But, there are some crimes that are widely accepted as part of this category such as rape, sexual assault, and sex trafficking. It is stipulated in federal law that all sex offenders must register their information in the state’s sex offender registry once they are done with their term of confinement. Their information is also included in the national sex offender registry that is maintained the federal government. Anyone can gain access to these databases in the interest of public safety. Visit here if you wish to learn if there are any sex offenders living near you in Kentucky. It is important that the public understands that the government cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information in the registries. You may find some sex offenders with only their last known addresses listed. This is because some offenders fail to update their registration when necessary.

Bail and Bondsman

If you are charged with a criminal offense in Simpson County, you can remain free while you await trial as long as you pledge to return to court when the trial starts.This is called bail. For certain offenses, the court will only grant permission if the accused also makes a monetary pledge. The money is pledged to the court will be lost if the accused misses one of his court dates.

A bondsman is an individual who acts as a surety – promising payment of the entire bail amount on behalf of the defendant if he violates the conditions of his release. If you can’t post bail because you lack money, you can hire a bondsman for a non-refundable fee, usually 10% of the bail amount.

In Kentucky, businesses that deal with commercial bail bonds are considered illegal. 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). State law requires a bondsman from out of state to first get a warrant before he can arrest a fugitive who has fled to Kentucky. Ky. Rev. Stat. § 440.270.
