There Are No Level 3 Sex Offenders Living Or Working In Sudbury

SUDBURY, MA—When Patch last reported on Sudbury’s sex offender list, in October of 2016, there were no Level 2 or Level 3 sex offenders working or living in town. According to the Sex Offender Registry Board, that remains the case.

In October of 2017, a search of Sudbury on the sex offender registry board site produced a "no results found."

There are three Level 2 sex offenders actively living and/or working in Sudbury, confirms Detective Lieutenant John Perodeau of the Sudbury Police Department.

These Level 2 sex offenders are not listed on the SORB site, as the board only posts Level 2 offenders who were classified after July 2013, a decision reached by the Supreme Judicial Court related to the law passed in 2013.

As Perodeau explains, the process to obtain information about a Level 2 sex offender is regulated by Mass/ General Law Ch. 6/178J. In part the law reads “ I understand that the sex offender registry information disclosed to me is intended for my own protection or for the protection of a child under the age of 18 or another person for whom I have responsibility, care or custody” obtain this information, you must come to the police department, present an ID, and sign that you understand the above listed statement."

For both levels, “the degree of dangerousness posed to the public is such that a public safety interest is served by public availability of registration information,” according to the state.
