Connecticut Sex Offender Registry Updated: 6 Live In Oxford

OXFORD, CT — There are six sex offenders living in Oxford as of Nov. 2023, according to the Connecticut Sex Offender Registry.

Connecticut law recognizes four categories of sex crimes for sex offender registration purposes:

1. criminal offenses against minor victims;
2. non-violent sexual offenses;
3. sexually violent offenses;
4. felonies committed for sexual purposes.

Those convicted of crimes in the first three categories must register as sex offenders; courts may
require registration of those in the fourth, according to the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services & Public Protection, which maintains the registry and updates information regularly.

By state law, the required registration period is based on the offense as follows:

1. generally, 10 years for the first conviction, and lifetime for a subsequent conviction of a criminal offense against a victim who is a minor;
2. generally, 10 years for the first conviction, and lifetime for a subsequent conviction of a nonviolent sexual offense;
3. lifetime for sexually violent offenses.

Under the law, the court may also impose registration for 10 years for a felony the court finds was
committed for a sexual purpose

Information is often provided by offenders themselves as required by law. This is a useful tool to help you be aware of who's living in your neighborhood.

Law enforcement officials and researchers caution that the registries can play only a limited role in preventing child sexual abuse and stress that most perpetrators are known to the child. The U.S. Department of Justice, which oversees the National Sex Offender Public Website, estimates that only about 10 percent of perpetrators of child sexual abuse are strangers to the child.

More than half of sexual assault incidents happen within a mile of the victim's home, according to the United States Department of Justice. About 75 percent of victims know their attacker, and 45 percent of victims are under 12 years old.

State police posted the following warning in regards to the registry:

"Any person who uses information in this registry to injure, harass or commit a criminal act against any person included in the registry or any other person is subject to criminal prosecution."
