Sex Offender Search and Lookup:

Sex offenders are individuals who have been convicted of a sex-related crime such as rape, molestation, sex trafficking, and child pornography. These offenders are mandated by law to register on either a national or state sex offender database. Anyone can access the information on these databases. For information on sex offenders in Hamilton County, you can go here. You will be required to read and accept the disclaimer provided before you can access the database. Please keep in mind that searches may reveal inaccurate or incomplete data such as the last known address of an offender or the block their house is located on.

Bail and Bondsman

An individual charged with an offense can be temporarily released from custody if the court sets bail. Bail is the amount of money used as collateral to ensure that the defendant shows up at all his court hearings. Failure to meet the bail’s conditions or appear at one of his court hearings will mean that the posted bail is forfeited. If only a partial amount of the bail is paid, then the defendant is then held liable by the court for the rest of the bail amount.

If an individual is unable to post bail because of financial difficulties, he or she can secure the services of a bondsman. The bondsman will be the one who will arrange the paperwork and pay the bail amount. He will also held responsible for paying the rest of the bail amount to the court should the defendant fail to appear at his trial. In exchange for his services, a bondsman will charge a non-refundable fee, normally 10% of the bail amount.
