Sex offenders are individuals who have committed a sex crime or attempted to commit one. While the definition and laws governing sex crimes differ, this type of illegal act is often defined as subjecting another person to a sexual behavior or sexually motivated action without his or her consent or by force, coercion, or manipulation. Generally accepted examples of sex crimes are rape, sexual assault, and child pornography. The federal government collects sex offender data nationwide in a separate system called the National Sex Offender Registry. Both the state and national sex offender databases are open to the public.

Bail and Bondsman

Bail is a form of collateral set by the court before it will allow the temporary release of an inmate awaiting trial. It can be paid using money or property. If the defendant is unable to come up with the bail amount, he or she can hire a bondsman to arrange the paperwork and post the entire bail. In return, the bondsman will charge a non-refundable fee that is typically 10% of the amount set by the court. Should the defendant fail to appear for his day in court, the money or property used as collateral will be forfeited.
